2. Variable-frequency drive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-frequency_drive

   A variable-frequency drive (VFD, or adjustable-frequency drive, adjustable-speed drive, variable-speed drive, AC drive, micro drive, inverter drive, variable voltage variable frequency drive, or drive) is a type of AC motor drive (system incorporating a motor) that controls speed and torque by varying the frequency of the input electricity.

3. Vector control (motor) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_control_(motor)

   Vector control, also called field-oriented control (FOC), is a variable-frequency drive (VFD) control method in which the stator currents of a three-phase AC or brushless DC electric motor are identified as two orthogonal components that can be visualized with a vector. One component defines the magnetic flux of the motor, the other the torque ...

4. Motor drive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_drive

   A variable frequency drive (VFD) or variable speed drive (VSD) describes the electronic portion of the system that controls the speed of the motor. More generally, the term drive, describes equipment used to control the speed of machinery. Many industrial processes such as assembly lines must operate at different speeds for different products.

5. Induction motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_motor

   Barriers to adoption of VFDs due to cost and reliability considerations have been reduced considerably over the past three decades such that it is estimated that drive technology is adopted in as many as 30–40% of all newly installed motors. [42] Variable frequency drives implement the scalar or vector control of an induction motor.

6. Direct torque control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_torque_control

   Direct torque control (DTC) is one method used in variable-frequency drives to control the torque (and thus finally the speed) of three-phase AC electric motors.This involves calculating an estimate of the motor's magnetic flux and torque based on the measured voltage and current of the motor.

7. Scalar control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalar_control

   The scalar control has been to a large degree replaced in high-performance motors by vector control that enables better handling of the transient processes. [1] Low cost and simplicity keeps the scalar control in the majority of low-performance motors, despite inferiority of its dynamic performance; [ 3 ] vector control is expected to become ...
