MRAS-based sensorless speed backstepping control for induction machine, using a flux sliding mode observer

In this paper, an induction machine rotor speed and rotor flux control using a sensorless backstepping control scheme is discussed. The most interesting point of this technique is that it deals with the nonlinearity of a high-order system by using the virtual control variable to make this system simple, and thus the control outputs can be derived step by step through appropriate Lyapunov functions. To avoid the use of a mechanical sensor, the rotor speed estimation is made by an observer using the model reference adaptive system (MRAS) technique; in order to estimate rotor flux, a sliding mode observer is proposed in this work. Simulation results are presented to validate and prove the effectiveness of the proposed sensorless control.
