ABSTRACT
• The design includes rotor speed estimation from measured
stator terminals of voltages and currents.
• The estimated speed is used as feedback in an IFOC
system achieving the speed control without the use of
‘shaft mounted transducers’.
• This paper presents a new sensor less vector control
consisting on the One hand of speed estimation algorithm
which overcomes the necessity of the speed sensor and on
the other hand of a variable structure control law with an
integral sliding surface, that compensates the uncerta
inities that are present in the system.



• Now a days, AC drives become popular in many
applications because of the advances in power electronics
and microelectronics technology

• It is well known that field-oriented control (FOC) is an
effective scheme for the variable speed control of IM
drives. However, difficulties arise from the modelling
uncertainties due to parameter variations, magnetic
saturation, load disturbances and unmodelled dynamics



Why FOC ?
• IM is superior to DC machine with respect to size,
weight, inertia, cost, speed

 DC motor is superior to IM with respect to ease
of control
– High performance with simple control due de-coupling
component of torque and flux

 FOC transforms the dynamics of IM to become
similar to the DC motor’s – decoupling the
torque and flux components



Basic Principles DC machine

Introduction to speed control

 Scalar control
• Magnitude variation of control variables

 Vector control
• Both the magnitude and phase alignment of vector variables

• Scalar control is somewhat simple to implement, but the inherent coupling
effect i.e. both the torque and flux are functions of V or I & f, gives sluggish
response & system is easily prone to instability because of a high order
system harmonics.

• Ex. If torque is increased by incrementing the slip (frequency), the flux
tends to decrease. This is then compensated by sluggish flux control loop
feeding in additional voltage. The temporary dipping of flux reduces the
torque sensitivity with slip & lengthen the response time.

. FOC is called as decouple, orthogonal and Trans vector control
. FOC technique dpcouples the 2 components of stator current. One
providing the airgap flux & another producing the torque. It provides
independent control of flux and torque , another control charecterstics
are liniarized.
. The stator currents are converted to synchronously rotating reference
frame aligned with the flux vector and transformed back to the stator
frame before feeding back to the machine.
. The 2 components of currents are d-axis Ids analogous to armature
current, q-axis Iqs analogous to field current.
. FOC offers more precauce control of A.C motor compare to vector
control. Therefore FOC is used in high performance drives like
Robotic actuators, centrifuges and servos.

Speed control is possible in four quadrants



Sliding mode control

 A sliding mode control with a variable control structure is basically
an adaptive control that gives robust performance of a drive with
parameter variation load torque disturbance.

 The control is nonlinear and can be applied to a linear or nonlinear
plant.

 The drive response is forced to tract or slide along a predefined
trajectory or reference model in a phase plane by a switching control
algorithm, irrespective of the plant’s parameter variation.

 SMC is sensor less vector control, where the speed signal is
estimated from the machine terminal voltage without using any speed
sensor or any other type of secondary transducer.

The mechanical equation of the induction motor is given by,
•
J wm + Bwm +TL =Te
•

The speed tracking error is given as,

e(t ) = ω m (t ) − ω m (t )
*

• • •
*
e(t ) = ω m − ω m = − ae(t ) + u (t ) + d (t )

Where u (t) and d (t) are collected as,


•
u (t ) = bi e qs (t ) − aω* m (t ) − f (t ) −ωm (t )
*

d (t ) = −∆aωm (t ) − ∆f (t ) + ∆bi e qs (t )

Now we are defined the sliding variable s (t) with an integral component
as,

t
s (t ) = e(t ) − ∫ ( k − a )e(τ ) dτ
0

The sliding surface is defined as,

t
s (t ) = e(t ) − ∫ ( k − a )e(τ )dτ = 0
0



The variable structure speed controller is designed as,

u (t ) = ke(t ) − β sgn( s )

In order to obtained the speed trajectory two assumption are taken as,

1.The gain k must be chosen such that the term (k-a) is strictly
negative, so K<0
2. The gain β must be chosen so that β ≥ |d(t)| for all time.

if assumptions are verified, the control law leads the rotor mechanical
speed wm(t) so that the speed tracking error e (t) tends to zero as the
time tends to infinity.



The proof of this theorem will be carried out using the Lyapunov stability
theory.

≤ −[ β − | d | s ] ≤ 0
When the sliding mode occurs on the sliding surface , and the dynamic
behavior of the tracking problem is equivalently governed by the
following equation



Current controller:

The block current controller consists of three hysteresis band current PWM
control. it is basically an instantaneous feedback current control method of
PWM where the actual current continuously tracks the current command
within a hysteresis band.

The control circuit generates the sin reference current wave of desired
magnitude and frequency and it is compared with the actual phase current
wave. As the current exceeds the prescribed hysteresis band, the upper
switch in the half bridge is turned off and lower is turned on. The output
voltage transitions from +0.5Vd to -0.5Vd. As the current crosses the lower
band limit the lower is turned off and upper is on.

Conclusion and future work
Sliding Mode Control (SMC) is a robust control scheme based on the concept of
changing the structure of the controller in response to the changing state of the
system in order to obtain a desired response. The biggest advantage of this
system is stabilizing properties are preserved, even in the presence of large
disturbance signals. The dynamic behavior of the system may be tailored by the
particular choice of switching function and the closed-loop response becomes
totally insensitive to a particular class of uncertainty. One of the problems
associated with implementation of SMC is Chattering which is essentially a high
frequency switching of the control. Chattering in torque & speed may large, but can
be minimized by small computation sampling time higher pwm frequency &
minimizing additional delay in feedback signal.

Scope of future work.

 Application of higher order sliding mode control to other non linear systems may
be attempted.

A higher order discrete sliding mode control law may be developed.
