Abstract
This paper presents a detailed study of the extended Kalman filter (EKF) far estimating the rotor speed of an induction motor drive. The general structure of the Kalman filter is reviewed and the various system vectors and matrices are defined. By including the rotor speed as a state variable, the EKF equations are established from a discrete two-axis model of the three-phase induction motor. Using the software MATLAB/Simulink, simulation of the EKF speed estimation algorithm is carried out for an induction motor drive with constant V/Hz frequency control and an induction motor drive with direct self control. The investigations show that the EKF is capable of tracking the actual rotor speed provided that the elements of the covariance matrices are properly selected. Moreover, the performance of the EKF is satisfactory even in the presence of noise or when there are variations in the induction machine parameters.
