“…The amplitude and frequency of the sinusoidal reference is governed by the controller. A number of methods are proposed for speed control of induction motors, including rotor-flux-oriented control [1,2], vector control [3], direct torque control [4,5], sliding mode control [6], neural network based control methods [7,8] and a model predictive control method [9]. Furthermore, various speed sensorless control methods have been proposed, among them are a method based on DC-link measurements [10], speed measurement based on rotor-slot-related harmonic detection in machine line current [11], field-orientation control with a speed estimation scheme [11] and speed estimation using adaptive nonlinear observers [12] and sliding mode observer [13].…”
