Abstract

The boundary layer approach is the most popular method to reduce the chattering phenomenon in sliding mode control (SMC) for uncertain nonlinear systems. This paper applies the fuzzy sliding mode structure based on the boundary layer theory which is used as speed controller of an indirect field-oriented control (IFOC) of an induction motor (IM) drive. A fuzzy inference system is assigned for reaching the controller part of the fuzzy sliding mode controller (FSMC) to eliminate the chattering phenomenon in spite of the small and large uncertainties in the system. The applied fuzzy system acts like a saturation function technique in a thin boundary layer near the sliding surface so that the stability of the system is guaranteed. Also, the equivalent control part is estimated to avoid the computational burden by an averaging filter. On the other hand, the averaging filter assists to improve the tracking performance despite the possibility of large uncertainties in the system so that the stability of the system is guaranteed. The main advantages of the proposed chattering-free speed controller are robustness to parameter variations and external load disturbance. The simulation results are shown to verify the effectiveness of the proposed speed controller, and its advantages are shown in comparison with the FSMC system and the conventional SMC.
