Abstract

Abstract: In order to improve the anti-disturbance performance of a bearingless induction motor (BIM) control system, a fractional-order sliding mode control (FOSMC) strategy based on improved load torque observer is proposed on the basis of the sliding mode speed regulation system. Using the information memory and genetic characteristics of the fractional calculus operator, the fractional integral term of the speed error is introduced in the design of the traditional sliding surface, which reduces the influence of disturbance on the speed regulation system. The fractional-order sliding mode control law is derived based on the BIM mathematical model, and the stability of the control law is proved by Lyapunov theorem. An improved observer is constructed based on the BIM state equations, and the real-time observed load torque is introduced into the fractional-order sliding mode controller. To improve the observer's convergence speed, the proportional integral form is used to replace the integral form in the traditional reduced order load observer. And the state error feedback coefficients of the improved load observer are calculated. Both simulation and experimental results verified the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.
