A method for regulating operation of an induction motor having a rotor includes calculating a rotor flux angle error value, via a flux observer of a controller, using estimated d-axis and q-axis flux values of the rotor, estimating rotor position using a position observer of the controller, and calculating slip position of the rotor using d-axis and q-axis stator currents. The method also includes estimating a rotor flux angle as a function of slip position and estimated rotor position, calculating a corrected rotor flux angle by selectively adding the rotor flux angle error value to the estimated rotor flux angle, and controlling output torque of the motor using the corrected rotor flux angle. A logic switch may be used to selectively add the rotor flux angle.

A method of a control system (2200) controls an inductance motor in a blower including an impeller and volute using a pressure compensation control system. The control system may be implemented in a respiratory pressure therapy device. The control system may include a sensor configured to provide a pressure signal indicative of the pressure of a flow of fluid produced by the blower. A measured pressure may be compared to a set pressure to determine a pressure error. A slip frequency may be adjusted as a function of the pressure error in an attempt to eliminate or minimise the pressure error.

A synchronous machine for connection to an electrical system may include a stator configured as a portion of the synchronous machine; a rotor configured as a portion of the synchronous machine being rotatable with respect to the stator; and a control circuit to control the rotor to allow the rotor to continuously slip with respect to the stator.

A system and method of operating a pumped storage power plant using a double fed induction machine with a frequency converter in a rotor circuit is disclosed. A current target value for the rotor current frequency is determined based on a target power to be transmitted between an electrical grid and the double fed induction machine depending on measured actual operating variables. A current inadmissible synchronous deadband is determined depending on variables characterizing a current state of the pumped storage power plant. The synchronous deadband is determined by a permissible minimum required rotor current frequency or speed difference of the rotor speed from the synchronous speed for the stationary operation. The converter is controlled to generate voltages and currents with the current target value of the rotor current frequency if the current target value of the rotor current frequency or speed does not fall in the current inadmissible synchronous deadband.
