9.1 Parameter Estimation of Induction Machines (IMs)

The instantaneous knowledge of the electrical parameters of an IM, either supplied by the power grid or in the framework of a variable speed electric drive, is extremely important. It is proved by the huge amount of scientific papers published in the last 20 years in the field of on-line parameter estimation of IMs [1–80].

The instantaneous knowledge of the electrical parameters of an IM is useful in the power system analysis. It is well known that, in the analysis of such systems, the knowledge of the dependence of the loads from the power grid voltage and frequency is crucial for retrieving the information about the behavior ...
