The document presents an observer-based online rotor speed estimation technique for vector-controlled induction machines, addressing challenges in low-speed operation due to limitations of existing methods. A novel model reference adaptive control (MRAC) approach is proposed that utilizes stator current for speed estimation without using integrators, offering improved performance, particularly at low and zero speeds. Simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed technique, demonstrating its robustness against parameter variations compared to existing MRAC methods.
