Mover Position Control of Linear Induction Motor Drive Using Adaptive Backstepping Controller with Integral Action

Abstract

In this paper, an adaptive backstepping control system with a fuzzy integral action is proposed to control the mover position of a linear induction motor (LIM) drive. First, the indirect field oriented control LIM is derived. Then, an integral backstepping design for indirect field oriented control of LIM is proposed to compensate the uncertainties which occur in the control. Finally, the adaptive backstepping controller with fuzzy integral action is investigated where a simple fuzzy inference mechanism is used to achieve the mover position tracking objective under the mechanical parameters uncertainties. The performance of the proposed control scheme was demonstrated through simulations. The numerical validation results of the proposed scheme have presented good performances compared to the adaptive backstepping control with integral action.
