ADAPTIVE INPUT OUTPUT LINEARIZING CONTROL OF INDUCTION-MOTORS

A nonlinear adaptive state feedback input-output linearizing control is designed for a fifth-order model of an induction motor which includes both electrical and mechanical dynamics under the assumptions of linear magnetic circuits. The control algorithm contains a nonlinear identification scheme which asymptotically tracks the true values of the load torque and rotor resistance which are assumed to be constant but unknown. Once those parameters are identified, the two control goals of regulating rotor speed and rotor flux amplitude are decoupled, so that power efficiency can be improved without affecting speed regulation. Full state measurements are required.
