Sliding Mode MRAS Speed Sensorless Vector Control for Submersible Motor

In consideration of the difficulty to install speed sensor result from special high temperature working environment of submersible motor, in this paper, a method of sliding mode model reference adaptive observer(SMMRAS) is used to estimate the speed of sensor less vector controlled submersible motor. This method combines variable structure control with model reference adaptive system (MRAS) to improve the accuracy of speed identification, and testability and speediness capability of the system are proved by Yaupon theory. The model of the speed-sensor less vector control system of induction motor is built by MatLab/Simulink. Theoretical analysis and the MATLAB simulation results show that the proposed method used in the system for speed identification has rapid response, and the static and dynamic performance is also perfect.
