Robustness enhancement of MRAC using modification techniques for speed control of three phase induction motor

Abstract EN

This paper addresses the lack of robustness in three phase Induction Motors (I.M) speed control in presence of uncertainty and external unknown disturbance of Model Reference Adaptive Control (MRAC), and present an enhancement of robustness by employing the adaptive law modifications for robustness.

Considered modifications were Dead zone modification, Sigma modification, e-modification and projection operator algorithm modification.

Speed control of three phase induction motor in this paper was depend on decoupling benefits of rotor flux Indirect Field Orientation (IFO).

Simulation results shows improved robustness characteristics and performance.

In order to make the case study under consideration more realistic, the work considered the limitation imposed on supplied voltage in real application, where this was the other challenge which has been avoided by many researchers.
