Model-free cooperative adaptive sliding-mode-constrained-control for multiple linear induction traction systems

Abstract

In order to deal with the speed cooperative control problem in the multiple linear induction traction systems consists of multiple linear induction motors, a model-free cooperative adaptive sliding-mode-constrained-control strategy is proposed considering the input magnitude and rate constraints which may cause the problem of actuator and integral saturation. First, the equivalent circuit topology of the single motor in the system is investigated. Besides, the system is considered as the multiagent system with fixed communication topology due to the interaction between adjacent motors. Then, the output observer is presented to estimate the output and the estimation algorithm of pseudo-partial derivative parameter and uncertainties is proposed. Based on the above, the proposed control scheme is presented by designing an integral sliding-mode surface containing the systematic error and an anti-windup compensator is added to eliminate the saturation. Finally, the simulations of the proposed control strategy for multiagent systems are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed control strategy.
