Abstract
The control problem for the nonlinear dynamics of Voltage Source Inverter-fed asynchronous motors is solved with the use of a flatness-based control approach which is implemented in successive loops. The state-space model of these systems is separated into a series of subsystems, which are connected between them in cascading loops. Each one of these subsystems can be viewed independently as a differentially flat system and control about it can be performed with inversion of its dynamics as in the case of input-output linearized flat systems. In this chain of i1,2,...,N subsystems, the state variables of the subsequent (ith) subsystem become virtual control inputs for the preceding (i-th) subsystem, and so on. In turn, exogenous control inputs are applied to the last subsystem and are computed by tracing backwards the virtual control inputs of the preceding N-1 subsystems. The whole control method is implemented in successive loops and its global stability properties are also proven through Lyapunov stability analysis. The validity of the control method is confirmed in case of a Voltage Source Inverter-fed Induction Motor (VSI-fed IM). The article's results can be used in electric vehicles and their electric traction systems which often comprise inverter controlled three-phase motors.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
