Adaptive input-output control of Linear Induction Motor considering the end effect

Abstract

This paper presents a robust nonlinear controller for position and flux control of primary type Linear Induction Motor (LIM) Drive. The proposed controller is designed based on adaptive input-output feedback linearization control, taking into account the LIM end effect. The stability of controller is proved by Lyaponuv theory and its effectiveness and validity is supported by computer simulation. Simulation results obtained, confirm that the drive system controller is robust an stable against the parameters variations and external unknown load force.
