ADVANCES IN VECTOR CONTROL OF AC MOTOR-DRIVES - A REVIEW

This paper attempts to present a comprehensive review of the advances made in vector control or field orientation as applied to high perform ance ac motor drives. Brief application survey, machine models in d-q representation, implementation issues with inverters and cycloconverte rs, parameter effects etc for both induction and synchronous motor vec tor control are dealt with and sample results from studies on them are presented. The latest advance on this control like direct torque cont rol (DTC) has been briefly discussed. A substantial updated bibliograp hy, though by no means complete, is included for those who are interes ted in keeping track of the present state-of-the-art and working furth er in this area.
