Modeling and RFOC of faulty three-phase IM using Extended Kalman Filter for rotor speed estimation

This research discusses d-q model and Rotor Flux-Oriented Control (RFOC) technique for faulty three-phase Induction Motor (three-phase IM when one of the stator phases is opened). In the controlling technique, two transformation matrixes are applied to the equations of faulty three-phase IM. As a result, the equations of faulty three-phase IM become similar to the balanced IM. Therefore, by employing some modifications in the conventional block diagram of the balanced IM, faulty motor control is possible. Additionally, for high performance vector control of the faulty IM, an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) is used for motor speed estimation. Simulation results demonstrate the validity and applicability of this technique to improve performance of the faulty IM.
