Robust variable structure speed control for induction motor drive

In order to eliminate the effect of parameter variation on field-oriented control for induction motor drive, an adaptation algorithm for tuning the rotor time-constant is proposed. Based on the adaptive observation of the rotor flux linkages, the rotor time-constant is adapted to obtain an exact indirect-field-oriented control (IFOC). In this proposed algorithm, a related function to the variation of the rotor time-constant is designed, then the accurate slip frequency needed for IFOC is obtained from this error function through a PI-type (proportional-integral) filter. Furthermore, a novel variable structure speed control with integral sliding surface is proposed under the adaptive field-oriented operation. By means of the variable structure speed control, the dynamics of motor speed have the property of an exponentially convergent rate. Using the proposed adaptive field-oriented control and the variable structure speed control, the IFOC is robust to the variation of the rotor time-constant and the speed control is insensitive to parameter uncertainty and load disturbance. Finally, some simulation and experimental results are presented to validate the effectiveness.
