Abstract—In recent years, with parameter self-tuning of the
drive is concerned by national experts and scholars, which has
become the focus of research. Because the induction motor has a
strong coupling, nonlinear, operating parameters and other
significant characteristics change, many scholars do a lot of
research on the induction motor parameters identification, the
parameters identification theory, many of the results of modern
control theory are applied directly to vector control systems to
develop into a high-precision vector converter. This article
describes an experiment based on single-phase improved
methods, the least square off-line identification, only one
experiment can measure the motor parameters. According to the
simulation results , we obtain a satisfactory result.

I. INTRODUCTION
At present, the inverter plays a more and more important
role in energy saving and speed control so that it has been
experienced rapid development and wide application. The
application of higher voltage and better performance inverter
gets more and more attention. Therefore, three-level inverter
based on space vector control is a hot topic in the future
development.
This study is based on the three-level system to research
the motor parameter identification. Accuracy of motor
parameters is an important factor in determining the inverter
performance.
The inverter with parameter identification technology
research can be divided into offline and online identification[1
2 ] two research directions. Offline parameter identification is
mainly used to complete the self-setting, identification of the
parameters of which is higher initial value of precision, or the
direct use value under not very high work environment.
Online identification key is used to track changes in the motor
parameters, calibration of electrical parameters to meet the
operating environment of relatively high precision. The main
methods used in domestic vector inverter are the least squares
method, model reference adaptive method, Kalman filter,
genetic algorithm and neural networks ]3[ . In recent years,
wavelet theory applied in the motor parameter identification
has been applied ]2[ .

The two capacitors of the DC parameters are the same, the
voltage is half of the DC voltage[6]. Capacitance for two
capacitors is limited, the midpoint of the capacitor charge and
discharge current will produce the mid-point voltage drift[4 5

linear form of variables, we should get their differential from

second-order filter to replace differential. We can select the

Where θ is the parameter vector which can be identified,
X is measurable signal, these signals can all be measured
through the first order filter, the model has been simplified. In
the calculation , We assumed the stator and rotor leakage
inductance are equal. These parameters and the actual
relationship of the motor parameters:

C. Three level work vector analysis
In this paper, an improved on the basis of a single-phase
experiments were carried out off-line least squares
identification. Three-level inverter switching state the main
use of PNN and NNN, as in the P-type in the SVPWM vector
and N-type vector can not be switched directly to the
transition through the zero vector.
The following we analysis the role of the state vector
SVPWM switching time. We conducted the analysis from the
above, V

D. The resolution of the key technology in linear induction
motor model
In the concrete realization of the process, many specific
needs of key technologies need to solve, as following we will
introduce.
1) Stimulus selection: In the parameter identification
process, the selection of stimulus parameters play a decisive
role in whether the convergence.
The continuous transfer function of Identification of the
object is:
01

() 1
m

We can see transfer function contain ( 1)mn++
parameters, Therefore, in order to identification
(1)mn++ parameters, the persistent excitation signal shall
include different frequency components at
least: ( 1) / 2jmn≥++ . By simplifying the transfer function,
we can get the requirement of different frequency number
(2 1 1) / 2 2j≥++ =. Therefore, the selected excitation signal
is a linear combination of three different frequency signals.
2) The determination of filter parameters: We
transformed the form above to avoid the differential, but the
introduction of the integrator, which uses second-order
low-pass filter to replace the second integral, in the
transformation of the various models, we get the first-order
low-pass filter with model the equivalent of first-order points.
a) First-order low-pass filter equivalent to the
principle of the integrator
We can draw the low-pass filter cutoff frequency of the
input signal frequency is not the same time, low-pass filter of
the following approximate relationship:
When ec ωω , 1

we can get, when 1

, Low-pass filter can be equivalent
to a pure integrator.
b) First-order low-pass filter parameter selection
Obtained by the above analysis, the larger of c ω , the
smaller of 1
c
τω =. We choose e
c
ω
ω
= 5 or 6 to meet
requirement.
3) Sampling time selection: In order to make the
algorithm on the actual realization of digital controller, the
system must be discretized. We often select under the
experience formula of the sampling frequency; as follows are
the empirical formula of sampling frequency:
a) Selected in accordance with transition time
p
T
(1 / 15 ~ 1 / 5)
s
p
TT= (21)
b) Selected in accordance with main time constant of
the system ls T
(0.05 ~ 0.1)
s
ls
TT= (22)
c) Selected in accordance with minimum time
constant of the system min T
min
(1 ~ 2)

TT= (23)
Combination of the above calculation, and considering the
actual situation, the final choice of the sampling time is
0.0005s.
