Speed Control of Induction Motor using Scalar Control Technique

This paper presents design and implementation of scalar control of induction motor. This method leads to be able to adjust the speed of the motor by control the frequency and amplitude of the stator voltage of induction motor, the ratio of stator voltage to frequency should be kept constant, which is called as V/F or scalar control of induction motor drive. This paper presents a comparative study of open loop and close loop V/F control induction motor. The V/F control is based on advent of stator voltage derivatives. Simulation is carried out in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment and results are compared for speed control of induction motor.
