Induction Motor Identification by a Microcomputer-Based Structure

The paper deals with the parameter estimation of an induction motor performed through a microcomputer-based data acquisition system and recursive identification algorithms (RLS and RGLS) implemented by means of a general purpose computer. The microcomputer-based data acquisition system is essentially made by connecting the Z80 CPU with its peripherals and auxiliary memories through a bus standard. The motor is represented by a classical fifth-order model linearized around a usual working point; an approximate third-order model, obtained via balanced realization, is in good correlation with the original one according to the identification aims and to the measurement set efficiency. An original CAD procedure is utilized to determine the electrical parameters.
