Input-Output Feedback Linearization Control of a Linear Induction Motor Taking into Consideration its Dynamic End-effects and Iron Losses

Abstract

This paper proposes a new input-output feedback linearization control technique (FLC) of Linear Inductions Motors (LIMs) taking into consideration both the dynamic end-effects and the iron losses. Starting from a previously conceived dynamic model including both the dynamic end-effects and the iron losses, all the theoretical framework of the FLC has been developed. The proposed FLC improves a previously proposed version of FLC in accounting also the iron losses, which in LIMs with fixed secondary sheet play a much important role than in RIMs. The proposed FLC has been experimentally tested on a suitably developed test set-up.
