The second order sub-optimal control law is based on a reduced-order model of the motor, and produces the references for a current regulated PWM inverter. A nonlinear observer structure, based on Lyapunov theory and on different sliding mode techniques (first order, sub-optimal and super-twisting) generates the velocity and rotor flux estimates necessary for the controller, based only on the measurements of phase voltages and currents. The proposed control scheme and observers are tested on an experimental setup, showing a satisfactory performance. date: 2011 date_type: published publisher: IEEE pagerange: 763 -768 event_title: American Control Conference (ACC), 2011 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-1-4577-0080-4 book_title: Proceedings of the American Control Conference (ACC), 2011 official_url: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=5991076&isnumber=5989965 citation: Bullo, Daniele and Ferrara, Antonella and Rubagotti, Matteo Sliding mode observers for sensorless control of current-fed induction motors.
