Self-commissioning for voltage-referenced voltage fed vector controlled induction motor drives

The authors describe an automated self commissioning procedure for voltage-referenced, voltage-fed, vector-controlled induction motor drives. The measurement of the electrical parameters of the motor at standstill and mechanical parameters from open-loop run-up and run tests are described. These procedures are followed by the automatic design of the two quadrature axis current controllers and the speed controller. Results on the design of vector control schemes for two different cage induction motors are presented
