Conclusion
 Control of induction motor requires knowledge of the
Background rotor angular velocity, in order to obtain the speed
information an optical sensor is usually used.

The paper presents some simulation and

Proposed measurement results in case of MRAS (Model
ABSTRACT Reference Adaptive System) method in attempt to
Method eliminate the induction motor drive speed sensor

Experimental results and comparison of the drive

Result behaviour with and without the speed sensor are
discussed

RESULT
 Speed divergence between the real and estimated
values is almost zero in steady states as well as at
slow transient by using MRAS method

• With faster transients the speed divergence is

increasing and getting more significant, motor is able
CONCLUSION to reach the reference speed value in longer time and
after that speed divergence is decreasing to zero again

MRAS algorithm can repleace speed sensor in the

induction motor drive system in case that high
precision of speed determination is not required
during fast transient
