Microprocessor implementation of a state feedback control strategy for a current source inverter-fed induction motor drive

The realization of a microprocessor-based controller which implements a complete state-feedback control strategy for a current source inverter-fed induction motor drive is reported. The controller design is based on the application of the pole assignment technique of multivariable system regulation theory to a d,q-axis state-space linearized model of the drive and includes a reduced-order observer to achieve fast regulation and stability. The observer is designed to reconstruct the inaccessible states such as d,q -axis rotor current from a knowledge of the system inputs and outputs. The hardware and software implementation of the controller around an 8085-based microprocessor kit is discussed, and typical test results are presented, along with digital simulation results, to show its performance
