Speed Observer Structure of Induction Machine Based on Sliding Super-Twisting and Backstepping Techniques

Abstract

This article presents an analysis of the two speed observer structures which are based on the backstepping and sliding super twisting approach. The observer stabilizing functions result from the Lyapunov theorem. To obtain the observer tuning gains the observer structure is linearized near the equilibrium point. The rotor angular speed is obtained from nonadaptive dependence. In the sensorless control system structure the classical PI controllers and transformation to the multiscalar variables are applied. The theoretical derivations are verified in experimental waveforms. Comparison of both speed observer structures is presented for nominal speed, load torque injections while regenerating mode, very low speed range and the uncertainties of nominal parameters of induction machine.
