Abstract
Purpose
The 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/approach
First, 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.
Findings
The 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/value
The paper presents an adaptive backstepping approach for LIM control that achieves mover position amplitude tracking objective under mechanical parameter variation.
