Passive-based adaptive control with the full-order observer for induction motor without speed sensor

The conventional linear control methods are difficult to meet the control requirements of high-performance speed regulation of asynchronous motor due to the nonlinear and multi-variable problems of induction motor. A passive-based control method of induction motor with the full-order state observer is proposed with the Euler–Lagrange equation of motion of the induction motor. Based on the relationship between passivity and stability of induction motor, the state feedback is used for torque and speed tracking. The full-order state observer is adopted with rotor current and rotor flux as state variables, and the adaptive speed controller is designed to realize the passive-based control. The experimental results show that the errors between the estimated value based on the proposed full-order observer and the actual value of rotor current, speed and flux are small; the speed with the proposed adaptive control can reach the expected value quickly. The proposed control method can effectively meet the high-performance requirements of induction motor.
