Abstract
1. Introduction
- Off-line estimators—parameters are calculated at the standstill state of the machine (self-commissioning drives), these methods are often called parameters identification methods;
- Reference model which should be independent of the estimated parameter;
- Adjustable model which is directly (sometimes indirectly) influenced by the estimated parameter.
- Electromagnetic flux-based (F-MRAS)—proposed for the first time in [13] for speed estimation. An estimator of this type can be used in stator resistance [14] or rotor resistance estimation [15], due to the fact that it consists of two basic estimators of the flux: a voltage model and a current model. The former depends directly on the stator resistance value, therefore it is used as an adjustable model in F-MRAS stator resistance estimators (in that case the current model is the reference). The current model depends directly on the rotor resistance, hence it is used as an adjustable model in F-MRAS rotor resistance estimators (then the voltage model is the reference). The major shortcomings of F-MRAS estimators are that neither of the models is a measurable quantity; estimators directly depend on both resistances simultaneously, however, only one of them can be estimated.
- Reactive power-based (Q-MRAS)—proposed in [16] for rotor resistance estimation. This estimator is independent of stator resistance. It is implemented mainly in a synchronous reference frame (x-y), which requires the estimation of synchronous speed. The reference and adjustable models use internal signals from the control structure as inputs. Quite frequently, a simplified adjustable model is used (based on control method assumptions). This results in the strong dependence of estimator operation on the control system performance. In [17], an estimator was implemented in stationary reference frame (α-β), therefore it was based only on measurable signals—independently of the internal signals from a control scheme. In [18] Q-MRAS was proposed for speed estimation.
- Active power based (P-MRAS)—proposed in [19] for stator resistance estimation. Similarly to Q-MRAS, it is implemented only in the synchronous reference frame (x-y), which determines a strong reliance on the control structure performance. In [20] a semi-active power estimator is proposed to improve robustness on rotor resistance variation. In [21] it was used for rotor resistance estimation.
- PY based (PY-MRAS)—proposed in [23] for stator resistance estimation. It relies on the active power and Y which is a fictitious quantity (based on stator voltage and current). The major benefit of this estimator is that the adjustable model is independent of the rotor speed. However, only simulation results were presented.
- Electromagnetic torque (T-MRAS)—proposed in [21] for rotor resistance estimation. Its major shortcoming is the fact that both reference and adjustable models are non-measurable quantities. The reference model depends on the stator resistance.
- Back electromagnetic force (back-EMF MRAS)—proposed in [18] for speed estimation. In [24] it was proposed for the stator resistance estimation. Its major advantage is that pure integration is not required through the implementation of the estimator. The reference model depends directly on rotor resistance. In [25], an improvement of estimator stability was proposed. However, the estimator employs an internal signal from the control structure (implemented in the (x-y) reference frame).

2.1. Mathematical Model of the Induction Motor
2.2. Mathematical Model of the PQ-MRAS Estimator
- P-MRAS—based on the active power (P) of the machine; it is used to calculate the stator resistance.
- Q-MRAS—based on the reactive power (Q) of the machine; it is used to calculate the rotor resistance.
3. Description of the Vector Control Structure for Induction Motor
- Open-loop mode—independently of the control structure;
- Closed-loop mode—coupled with the control structure; the estimated parameters are injected to the control structure (flux estimator).

5. Discussion
- simultaneous estimation of stator and rotor resistance;
- estimator requires only measurable input signals (independence of the control structure).
- stable estimation during speed reversals (including zero-speed range) and load torque variations;
- estimation of parameters during steady-states and transients;
- variations of adaptation mechanism coefficients impact only subsystem dynamics; the estimator works stably.
