Abstract
The purpose of this work is the implementation and experimental validation of a quasi-oriented rotor flux control algorithm on a full scale, railway locomotive traction system. This control method can be useful for industrial applications based on DSPs which have limited computation power, given the fact that the real time flux-oriented control needs relatively high computation power, especially for the flux estimator. The advantage of this method is given by the elimination of flux estimation as it assumes the control system is oriented. This way, a processor hungry control section is avoided, the flux control loop being also avoided. The control algorithm had been implemented in the Matlab Simulink environment, using the dSPACE RTI toolbox, for the DS1103 prototyping board. The dSPACE board had been used for the control of the full-scale traction system experimental stand.
