Speed Induction Motor (IM) control is an area of research that has been in
evidence for some time now. In this paper, a nonlinear controller is
presented for the induction motor drives. The nonlinear controller is
designed based on an input-output feedback linearization control technique.
The input-output feedback linearization control decouples the flux from the
speed control and makes the synthesis of linear controllers possible. This
article presented input-output linearization control of the induction motor
associated with NPC three level inverter defective, the inverter faults are
usually caused by operating faults in the switch elements. Switching defects
occur in rectifier diodes, the capacitor and inverter IGBT switches. The
inverter switches defected reduce the performance of the motor, in our
study. We applied the input-output linearization control to test their
robustness and performance for detection of fault influence on the physical
parameters of the motor, for this purpose, we applied two faults, we started
by creating a fault in two switches K1 and K7 which are in the first and
second arm of the inverter. Then we created a fault in the three switches
K1, K7 and K10 which are in the three arms of the inverter. The simulation
results are done by the use of Matlab/Simulink that show the detection,
fault effect on input-output linearization control of the different
induction motor responses.
