other hand PMSMs are generally used for low-power servoapplications where very precise position control is requiredA PID controller is applied [15] to the position control and amodel reference adaptive control has been implemented forthe PMSM [16] As speed estimators and observers rely onthe knowledge of motor parameters they are inadequate foraccurate position estimation In the present work a positionfeedback encoder is used for PMSM and an indirect field-oriented control is employed for its control [17ndash19]

A detailed study on distributed drives including designdevelopment and testing of prototype distributed drives isdemonstrated The monitoring and supervisory control ofIM and PMSM drives thereby validating the concept ofdistributed drives is also described Further the developedexperimental setup enables and facilitates imparting trainingand providing the facilities with hands of experimentationresearch and practical training The necessary SCADA GUIhas also been created for the display of drive parameters suchas speed The performances of IM and PMSM are predictedby sensitivity analysis

eters and 119873119888is the value of the performance variable when

the value of the parameter 120572 is increased by defined deviationvalue A similar analysis is also carried out for PMSM

other hand PMSMs are generally used for low-power servoapplications where very precise position control is requiredA PID controller is applied [15] to the position control and amodel reference adaptive control has been implemented forthe PMSM [16] As speed estimators and observers rely onthe knowledge of motor parameters they are inadequate foraccurate position estimation In the present work a positionfeedback encoder is used for PMSM and an indirect field-oriented control is employed for its control [17ndash19]

A detailed study on distributed drives including designdevelopment and testing of prototype distributed drives isdemonstrated The monitoring and supervisory control ofIM and PMSM drives thereby validating the concept ofdistributed drives is also described Further the developedexperimental setup enables and facilitates imparting trainingand providing the facilities with hands of experimentationresearch and practical training The necessary SCADA GUIhas also been created for the display of drive parameters suchas speed The performances of IM and PMSM are predictedby sensitivity analysis

3 Sensitivity Analysis of IM and PMSM

Sensitivity analysis is used by designers of machines forthe prediction of the effect of parameter of interest on theperformance variables of themotor In the present study sen-sitivity values of the performance variables like power inputpower output efficiency power factor stator current startingcurrent magnetizing current developed torque and startingtorque with respect to the equivalent circuit parameters areobtained for the IM The sensitivity is computed by (24) assensitivity of a variable 119873 with respect to a parameter 120572 canbe represented as

119878119873

120572= 100 sdot

(119873119888minus 119873119899)

119873119899

(24)

where 119873119899is the performance variable with nominal param-

eters and 119873119888is the value of the performance variable when

the value of the parameter 120572 is increased by defined deviationvalue A similar analysis is also carried out for PMSM

eters and 119873119888is the value of the performance variable when

and starting torque are mainly affected by variations in 119877119903

The sensitivity of developed torque is the least with respect to119883119903and119883

119898 respectively

The sensitivity of the performance variables with respectto frequency and supply voltage is also obtained It is observed

that the frequency variation has maximum effect on startingtorque and magnetizing current followed by starting currentThe sensitivity of developed torque with respect to frequencyis the least The sensitivity of power input power outputdeveloped torque and starting torque with respect to supplyvoltage is 2 each Similarly the stator current startingcurrent magnetizing current and so forth change by 1 withrespect to variation in supply voltage The supply voltagevariation has negligible effect on efficiency while powerfactor is not affected by supply voltage variation

Sensitivity analysis is used by designers of machines forthe prediction of the effect of parameter of interest on theperformance variables of themotor In the present study sen-sitivity values of the performance variables like power inputpower output efficiency power factor stator current startingcurrent magnetizing current developed torque and startingtorque with respect to the equivalent circuit parameters areobtained for the IM The sensitivity is computed by (24) assensitivity of a variable 119873 with respect to a parameter 120572 canbe represented as

119878119873

120572= 100 sdot

(119873119888minus 119873119899)

where 119873119899is the performance variable with nominal param-

eters and 119873119888is the value of the performance variable when

the value of the parameter 120572 is increased by defined deviationvalue A similar analysis is also carried out for PMSM

119903is the highest and is the lowest

with respect to 119883119903 Motor efficiency is less sensitive to all

the equivalent circuit parameters with variation in 119877119904and

119898is the

lowest Magnetizing current is more sensitive to changes in119883119898and less sensitive to changes in119883

119903 The developed torque

and starting torque are mainly affected by variations in 119877119903

The sensitivity of developed torque is the least with respect to119883119903and119883

119898 respectively

The sensitivity of the performance variables with respectto frequency and supply voltage is also obtained It is observed

that the frequency variation has maximum effect on startingtorque and magnetizing current followed by starting currentThe sensitivity of developed torque with respect to frequencyis the least The sensitivity of power input power outputdeveloped torque and starting torque with respect to supplyvoltage is 2 each Similarly the stator current startingcurrent magnetizing current and so forth change by 1 withrespect to variation in supply voltage The supply voltagevariation has negligible effect on efficiency while powerfactor is not affected by supply voltage variation
