| Sumario: | [EN] Efficiency estimation and diagnosis via MCSA require precise knowledge of speed. In an industrial environment, speed must be obtained with a non-invasive, automatic and general method. Recent studies have shown that Sensorless Speed Estimation techniques based on detecting Rotational Frequency Sideband Harmonics (RFSHs) or Rotor Slot Harmonics (RSHs) are best suited to these purposes. RFSHs-based methods are easier to apply as they only depend on the number of poles. RSHs-based are much more accurate due to their wider bandwidth. Yet, their use is not trivial as they require to identify the RSHs family, assign to each RSH its order of the current harmonic (¿) and determine the number of rotor slots (R), a rarely known parameter. This paper ends with this trade-off between accuracy and applicability by proposing a novel RSHs-based technique that, for the first time in technical literature, eliminates the need to estimate the number of rotor slots and provides a reliable and automatic procedure to locate the RSHs family and determine their ¿ indices. Finally, the method is validated under all types of conditions and motor designs, by simulations, lab tests and with 105 industrial motors, highlighting its high accuracy (errors below 0.05 rpm), and applicability. |
