Combined Discrete-time Sliding Mode and Disturbance Observer for Current Control of Induction Motors

[摘要] This paper proposes a composite control strategy which combines a discrete-time sliding mode controller with a disturbance observer aiming to decouple current control of vector oriented induction motor drives. The stator current control is carried out through an indirect field orientation in a dq reference frame rotating at synchronous speed. The cross-coupling variables of the induction motor stator currents at synchronous reference frame are modeled as disturbances, and these values are estimated using a discrete-time disturbance observer. The digital implementation delay was included in the plant model formulation, resulting in a control law suitable to direct implementation in microcontrollers and digital signal processors. Then, the nominal and decoupled part of the induction machine model is used for the design of the sliding mode controller, and the additional variables are modeled as disturbances. The cross-coupling variables are observed and used in the control law. The convergence analysis is presented in discrete-time domain. Simulation and experimental results are presented to validate the theoretical analysis, and they show the good performance of the proposed method.
