  3. Project Objectives • Robust and efficient control of an induction motor for an electric vehicle • Track the speed of an induction motor to a desired reference trajectory under time-varying load torque for an electric vehicle • Robust control of an electric vehicle induction motor under varying changes in the motor parameters.

  4. What is an Adaptive Controller? Learning Mechanisms (Parameter Adaptation) Coordination Mechanisms Robust Feedback x u Adjustable Model Compensation Plant r (t) y • To invent, design and build systems capable of controlling unknown plants or adapting to unpredictable changes in the environment

  5. What is Backstepping? x u δ ∫ ∫ • Backstepping is to design a controller for a system recursively by considering some of the state variables as “Virtual Controls” and designing for them intermediate control laws f (x) ≤ 0 , z u x ∫ ∫ - ≤ 0 , f ' (x) V,Va = Lyapunov Functions x, = State Variables z = Virtual State (x) = Virtual Control u = plant input

  6. Advantages of Adaptive Backstepping Controller Design Procedure • Both the stability properties and control law can be ensured in this same step • The Control Law can be obtained in steps no greater than the order of the system • In adaptive backstepping unknown plant parameters can be easily dealt with to design control laws • Observers can be easily incorporated in the design procedure to perform observer backstepping

  7. Problem Formulation Flux Command - + Flux Controller Rotating Stator Frame to Stationary Stator Frame Conversion Space Vector Modulation Power Stage Speed Controller + - Speed Command Flux Estimator Where Time varying Load Torque = Flux component of the Stator Current IM = Speed component of the Stator Current , = Voltages in the rotating stator frame = Measured Speed of the Motor = Estimated Flux of the motor , , = Measured Stator Currents , , = Applied three phase stator voltages

  8. Design Procedure • Modeling-: The equationsrepresenting the dynamics of motion of the Induction Motor is derived in the three phase, stationary and rotating stator frame co-ordinates and analyzed for the application of Adaptive Backstepping procedure. • Controller Design-: Flux Controller-: An Observer Backstepping Flux Controller is designed using flux observers to make the estimated flux track a desired reference trajectory to ensure that sufficient torque is delivered to Load Speed Controller-: An Adaptive Backstepping Speed Controller is designed to make the measured speed of the motor track a desired reference trajectory under varying Load Torque Conditions • Simulation-: The adaptive controllers designed are simulated in the Simulink environment to verify the results

  9. Design Procedure……………………Continued • Hardware Implementation-: The Adaptive Controllers developed are verified in real time using an Induction Motor tied to a varying load. The results are observed and conclusions made

  10. Project Work Summary • Model the Induction Motor in the stationary and rotating stator frames so that Vector Control can be applied to develop a speed controller as well as a flux contoller • Apply adaptive backstepping procedure to develop a speed controller for the motor speed to track a desired reference speed under time varying load conditions • Design flux observers to estimate the flux and design an observer based backstepping controller for the flux to track a desired reference trajectory so that sufficient torque can be supplied to the Load • Develop a modular design in Simulink environment for the motor models, observer models, controller models, and etc for simulation • Implement real-time controller application to an Induction Motor for verifying and comparing the simulation results to the real-time results; to make conclusions and recommendations on future research
