Title: Brushless doubly-fed motor control system

Abstract

An AC variable speed drive (VSD) system having a brushless doubly-fed motor receives power from an electric power grid at a system frequency of the grid and drives a mechanical load. The motor has a rotor with rotor windings and a stator with stator windings comprising first and second polyphase stator systems. The first stator system receives power from the grid at the system frequency. A sensor senses a parameter of the received power by the drive and produces a corresponding power sensor signal. A VSD controller receives and processes the power sensor signal and a reference signal which has been established according to a desired motor operation strategy, and generates therefrom a controller signal. A converter, such as a power electronic converter, receives and converts power from a converter pow This invention was made with government support under Grant No. 79-85BP24332, awarded by the Bonneville Power Administration. The United States government has certain rights in this invention.
