DYNAMIC FEEDBACK LINEARIZATION OF THE INDUCTION-MOTOR

This work develops the use of dynamic state feedback to achieve feedback linearization of the induction motor. It is shown that the sixth-order nonlinear dynamical model of the induction motor consisting of rotor speed, two stator currents, two rotor fluxes and an integrator in the feedback controller can be made equivalent to two third-order decoupled linear systems by nonlinear state feedback through the stator input voltages. It is further shown that a nonsingular dynamic feedback linearizing transformation exists as long as the (electromagnetic) torque put out by the motor is nonzero.
