Design of an exact nonlinear controller for induction motors

A novel approach to the control of induction motors is presented. The approach is based on differential-geometric concepts for the control of nonlinear systems. Structural properties of the model are pointed out, and a proper selection of physically meaningful system outputs is indicated which yields, by means of static state-feedback, exact state linearization and input-output decoupling of the closed-loop system. The approach is used to design a controller for motor torque and flux. Simulation results are included.<
