Improved performance of Backstepping Control of an open-end stator winding Five-phase Induction Motor with the fundamental and harmonic currents

Backstepping control technique is receiving increased attention due to its simplicity and robust dynamic response. In this paper, a approach to improve the performance of Backstepping control of open-end stator winding five-phase induction motor (OEW-FPIM) with the fundamental and harmonic currents is developed. The proposed control is based on SVPWM technique, where fast torque response with low ripple in the stator flux and torque of OEW-FPIM can be achieved. Simulation results clearly demonstrate a better performance of the proposed method, which suggest that the combination of Backstepping-SVPWM technique with multiphase motor have a great practical prospect in motor drives.
