was 1.93R. In Fig.15 is presented the measurement of the
speed. From t = 1.0s to t = 1.3s a DC level was injected.
All the control loops were opened and their respective out-
puts at t = 1.0s were stored in memory. Using the stored
values, new d-axis and q-axis reference voltages were gen-
erated (sinusoidal+DC) in order to follow approximately
the same profile as if the drive was in closed loop. It must
be noted that the speed was not disturbed very much from
its normal value.
In Fig.16 is shown the estimation of al, in the low speed
range (20Hz) with a PWM sinusoidal voltage. The value
of al, obtained in this speed and with the model (4) is

In Figs. 17 and 18 are shown the results with the MRAC. 3,1
In the experimental tests the reference of the speed con-
troller was kept constant at 100radls. Three external res-
istors of 2.8R were sequentially switched on (t = 20s) and
off (t = 55s), in series with the rotor windings. The MRAC
strategy was implemented using the d-axis voltage model
under weak load condition. In the first test (Fig. 17) the
MRAC strategy has been turned on. As it may be ob-
served in Fig. 17, the slip gain k , converges quickly (E 5s)
to a new value ( k , = 31.2) after the resistors have been
switched on. Also, after switching off, k , settles quickly
to its previous value (IC, = 11.2). Fig. 18 shows the amp-
litude of the machine current (is = )-/, observed
during the first test (thick line). It must be noted thai the
current changes a t the switching instants, but it returns
quickly to its original value. In the second test the same Figure 14: Estimation of T,

VII. CONCLUSIONS
The steady-state and dynamic performances of presented
MRAC models were analyzed. From the parameter sensit-
ivity studies, one may surely select a good reference model
to implement the MRAC strategy. The parameter sens-
itivity studies had revealed that the d-axis voltage model
is the most sensitive to A r , and A(al,), while the q-axis
voltage model is more sensitive to Al,. However, the com-
bined effect (e.g.: AvL;t/AIC, cascaded with Av:;t/Ar, or Figure 15: Measured speed during the estimation of r,
A v ~ ~ / A ( a l , )makes
) the d-axis voltage model the best
model among all the ones presented in this paper. This
model is the most sensible to k , and only a small Ak, is
required to correct the parameter uncertainty through a
new .;21: The d-axis voltage model remains quite sensit-
ive to uncertainties in r , , at low speeds, and in al, under
high load conditions. This clearly demonstrates that we
may not bypass an on-line parameter estimation task to
continuously track r, and a1,. With the proposed models 0.02s -
it was possible to promptly accomplish this estimation.
