Direct torque control of induction machine using finite-time control and disturbance compensation

Considering the existence of disturbance in the induction machine (IM) drive system, this paper develops a composite control scheme based on linear extended state observer (LESO) and continuous finite time control (FTC) to improve the disturbance rejection property of system. First, a LESO is introduced to estimate the disturbances of system. The estimated value is used in the feed-forward compensation design. Second, a continuous finite-time feedback control technique is applied in the feedback design. Then the stability of the controller is analyzed. Simulation and experimental comparisons with two other control methods, traditional Proportional Integral (PI) and Proportional feedback plus feedforward compensation based on LESO(P+LESO), are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
