Stator Fault Detection in Induction Machines by Parameter Estimation Using Adaptive Kalman Filter

This paper presents a parametric low differential order model, suitable for mathematically analysis for Induction Machines with faulty stator. An adaptive Kalman filter is proposed for recursively estimating the states and parameters of continuous-time model with discrete measurements for fault detection ends. Typical motor faults as inter-turn short circuit and increased winding resistance are taken into account. The models are validated against winding function induction motor modeling which is well known in machine modeling field. The validation shows very good agreement between proposed method simulations and winding function method, for short-turn stator fault detection.
