Electric Power Systems Research 47 (1998) 1 – 9 Robust control of induction motor drive with rotor time-constant adaptation Faa-Jeng Lin a,*, Rong-Jong Wai a, Hsin-Jang Shieh b a Department of Electrical Engineering, Chung Yuan Christian Uni6ersity, Chung -Li 320, Taiwan, ROC b  Received 12 January 1998; accepted 28 January 1998 Abstract In this paper, an indirect ?eld-oriented induction motor drive with a rotor time-constant adaptation is presented. Since the deviated rotor time-constant of an induction motor makes the indirect ?eld-orientation inaccurate, an adaptation mechanism is proposed to tune the rotor time-constant to establish a complete indirect ?eld-oriented control for an induction motor drive. With the rotor time-constant adaptation, the indirect ?eld-oriented control has the robustness property for decoupling torque and ?ux components. In order to further insure the robustness of the servo control, a novel variable-structure speed controller is proposed under the adaptive ?eld-orientation operation. A novel sliding surface with an integral component for the variable structure speed controller is designed, and exponential convergence in speed-tracking control is obtained. Using the proposed variable-structure speed controller, the insensitivity for parameter uncertainty and disturbance load is provided. Finally, a simulation and experimental results are demonstrated. ? 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.

Introduction The two basic forms of rotor ?ux orientation for induction motor drives are, by now, direct ?eld-orienta- tion and indirect ?eld-orientation. Direct ?eld-orienta- tion relies on direct measurement or estimation of the rotor ?ux vector, and indirect ?eld-orientation utilizes an inherent slip relationship to align the rotor ?ux vector with the d -axis [1]. Because an indirect ?eld-ori- entation i
