The Kalman filter in its basic form is a state estimator and can be applied to the problem of estimating induction motor rotor currents in a vector control scheme. This filter is shown to combine information from the plant model with output measurements to produce an optimal estimate of the unmeasured states. Also described is the application of the extended Kalman filter algorithm to the online estimation of rotor resistance in an induction motor drive. Significant savings in computing requirements are obtained with a reduced-order model of the motor, in which measured, rather than computed, values of stator currents are used.>
