    A new sliding mode (SM) observer-based controller for single-phase induction motor is designed. The proposed control scheme is formulated using block control feedback linearization technique and high-order SM algorithms with measurements of the rotor speed and stator currents. The stability of the complete closed-loop system, including the rotor flux second-order SM observer, is analyzed in the presence of model uncertainty, namely, rotor resistance variation and bounded time-varying load torque.

    An observer-based controller for the single-phase induction motor is proposed in this paper. The scheme presented is formulated using block control feedback linearization technique and high order sliding mode algorithms with measurements of the rotor speed and stator currents. A second order sliding mode observer is included into the controller design in order to obtain estimates of the rotor flux. The stability of the complete closed-loop system is analyzed in the presence of model uncertainty, namely, rotor resistance variation and bounded time-varying load torque.

    Several MOV models have been proposed to describe the dynamic behavior of a MOV. These models differ in the calculation and adjustment of model parameters. In this paper, we present a comprehensive study on the MOV characteristics. A model with both nonlinear resistance and nonlinear inductance is proposed. The calculation method of nonlinear inductance and nonlinear resistance are presented and the algorithm for determining the nonlinear inductance model is explained. Simulations and experiments are performed to evaluate the proposed MOV model and to verify the model accuracy.

    This study investigates an important and challenging problem in non-linear systems: achieving output tracking control with a tolerable error bound as well as providing enhanced damping control of the internal dynamics. This problem is solved by using a damping controller in an input–output linearised static synchronous compensator system. The controllability and observability analyses direct the authors how to determine the damping controller gain. The proposed controller provides improved damping for lightly damped internal dynamics with degraded but tolerable output tracking performance. Finding a parameter-dependent Lyapunov function for the zero dynamics of error dynamics proves the stability of the damped internal dynamics in the time-invariant and time-varying systems. Stability of the closed-loop system is established by designing a composite Lyapunov function and it ensures that the tracking error of the output, in the approximated input–output linearised system, remains within a specified bound. Through stability analysis, the damping controller and the desired reference trajectory providing uniform boundedness of tracking error in output can be designed.

    Abstract The issue of concern is the impact of forward model nonlinearity on the nonlinearity of the inverse model. The question posed is, “Does increased nonlinearity in the head solution (forward model) always result in increased nonlinearity in the inverse solution (estimation of hydraulic conductivity)?” It is shown that the two nonlinearities are separate, and it is not universally true that increased forward model nonlinearity increases inverse model nonlinearity.

    A nonlinear predictive control (NPC) scheme in a cascaded structure for a permanent magnet synchronous motor drive is proposed. Taylor series expansion is used to predict the system response over a finite horizon. As NPC cannot remove completely the steady-state error in the presence of mismatched parameters and external perturbation, a disturbance observer is used to estimate the offset caused by parametric uncertainties and the load torque variation. In addition, input constraints (restrictions on the magnitude) are considered in the synthesis of the disturbance observer, resulting in an equivalent cascaded proportional integral action with an antiwindup compensator. The validity of the proposed controller was tested via simulation and experiment. Excellent results were obtained with respect to the speed trajectory tracking, stability, and disturbance rejection.
