Design and implementation of an adaptive controller for current-fed induction motor

Abstract

A model reference adaptive speed controller for a current-fed induction motor drive is proposed. The controller uses a proportional-integral (PI) adaptation to satisfy the hyperstability condition for load and machine parameter changes of the drive. Only the available information on the states and output of the reference model as well as the plant output are required. No explicit parameter identification is needed. The controller can be designed simply by using a reduced reference model without particularly degrading the performance, so it is easy to implement practically. The hardware implementation is detailed, and some experimental results are given to demonstrate its effectiveness.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
