The drawbacks of sliding mode control in terms of high control gains and chattering are overcome by merging of the FLC with the variable structure of the SMC to form a fuzzy sliding mode controller (FSMC). However, the major drawback of fuzzy control is the lack of design techniques. Hence this hybrid system increases the complexity in design and, at present, there exists no effective design tools due to the lack of analytical and numerical approaches. This paper develops an automated design approach to this design problem, using a genetic algorithm. The method is illustrated through the design of a near-optimal fuzzy sliding mode controller for induction motor speed control. The control strategy gives a relatively low overshoots with smooth control action and retains robustness of the sliding mode approach.

In this work the control of an induction motor using fuzzy gain scheduling of PI controller (adaptive FLC-PI) is presented. Fuzzy rules are utilized on-line to determine the controller parameters based on tracking error and its first time derivative. Simulation and experimental results of the proposed scheme show good performances compared to the PI controller with fixed parameters.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to propose mover position control of linear induction motor (LIM) using an adaptive backstepping approach based on field orientation.Design/methodology/approachFirst, the indirect field‐oriented control LIM is derived. Then, an adaptive backstepping approach based on field‐oriented control of LIM is proposed to compensate the uncertainties which occur in the control. Mover position amplitude tracking objective is formulated, under the assumption of unknown total mass of the moving element, viscous friction, and load force, so that the position regulation is achieved.FindingsThe effectiveness and robustness of the proposed control scheme are verified by numerical simulation using Matlab/Simulink model. The numerical validation results of the proposed scheme have presented good transient control performances and robustness to uncertainties compared to the conventional backstepping control design.Originality/valueThe paper presents an adaptive backstepping approach for LIM control that achieves mover position amplitude tracking objective under mechanical parameter variation.

-In the present paper, the mover speed control of a linear induction motor (LIM) using a sliding mode control design is proposed, considering the end effects. First, the indirect field-oriented control LIM is derived, considering the end effects. The sliding mode control design is then investigated to achieve speed-and flux-tracking under load thrust force disturbance. The numerical simulation results of the proposed scheme present good performances in comparison to that of the classical sliding mode control.
