Introduction
The traditional way to control the speed of
induction motors is the V/Hz-control
Low dynamic performance
In applications like servo drives and rolling
mills quick torque response is required.
Desire to replace dc drives led to vector
control


What is vector control?
Vector control implies that an ac motor is forced to
behave dynamically as a dc motor by the use of
feedback control.
Always consider the stator frequency to be a variable
quantity.
Think in synchronous coordinates.

There are two approaches to vector control:
Direct field oriented current control
Indirect field oriented current control

Principle of Vector Control
The technique of vector control based on
separating out the two basic function of stator
current.
The current is controlled in the d- direct and q-
quardarure directions.

Mathematical Modeling
In the controller two inverse transforms are
performed:
1)From the synchronous d-q to the stationary
d-q reference frame;
2) From d*-q* to a*, b*, c*.

A few of the salient features of vector control are:

The frequency
e
of the drive is not controlled (as in
scalar control). The motor is self-controlled by using the
unit vector to help control the frequency and phase.

There is no concern about instability because limiting
within the safe limit automatically limits operation to the
stable region.

Transient response will be fast because torque control by i
qs

does not affect flux.

Vector control allows for speed control in all four quadrants
(without additional control elements) since negative torque
is directly taken care of in vector control.
