A novel control strategy for the induction motor drive, based on the field acceleration method, is presented. The torque is controlled through variations of the stator flux angular velocity. The stator flux is controlled by using a feedforward control scheme, with the stator flux reference vector adjusted so as to obtain the fixed rotor flux amplitude. The applied controller assures a fast torque response, low torque ripple in the steady state, and drive operation with a constant switching frequency. The algorithm includes the improved stator and rotor flux estimation that guarantees the stable drive operation in all operating conditions, even at low speeds. The experimental tests verify the performance of the proposed algorithm, proving that good behavior of the drive is achieved in the transient and steady-state operating conditions.
