description The sensorless control of doubly fed induction machine (DFIM) rotor magnetic flux based on a model reference adaptive system (MRAS) is proposed to improve the reliability of a large-scale variable-speed pumped storage (VSPS) system and reduce operation and maintenance costs. The existing sensorless control of doubly fed induction machines (DFIMs) is mostly focused on generator operation, making it difficult to apply to the VSPS system. The proposed strategy realizes the reversible operations of the VSPS through the design of an adaptive law under variable operating conditions, eliminating mechanical sensors, and possessing the characteristics of simple implementation and accurate identification. The mathematical model of the DFIM in a VSPS system is constructed, and an MRAS vector control strategy based on stator voltage orientation is established. The rotor angle and speed under reversible operating conditions are effectively identified by dynamically adjusting the angle error between the rotor flux reference model and the adaptive model to approach zero. Subsequently, comparative analysis with the closed-loop direct detection method verifies the advantages of the proposed strategy. The proposed control method can accurately identify rotor position and speed in the pumping and power generation conditions of the VSPS system and it demonstrates robust adaptability.
