Abstract

This paper proposes a direct speed and flux control system for Dual Stator Winding Induction Machines (DSWIMs) based on Super Twisting Sliding Mode Control (STSMC). The proposed nonlinear controller which has finite time convergence of error to zero, is designed such that the Lyapunov stability condition is satisfied. Furthermore, a novel torque-sharing algorithm is introduced for DSWIMs. This algorithm enables them to operate in a wide speed region, including zero speed, such that the required electromagnetic torque is supplied by two winding sets based on their power ratings. In addition, a Sliding Mode Control (SMC) based full order observer is proposed for DSWIMs. This observer, which is able to estimate the winding fluxes, flux angles and rotor speed with high-accuracy, guarantees the optimal flux condition. The functionality of the proposed sensor-less DSWIM drive scheme is evaluated through some experimental tests performed on a 3.3 kW DSP-based DSWIM drive system. The experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed control method, torque sharing algorithm and the full order observer in various speed regions.
