Full linearization of induction motors via nonlinear state-feedback

A novel approach to the control of induction motors is presented, based on differential-geometric concepts for the control of nonlinear systems. Structural properties of the model are pointed out and a proper selection of system outputs is indicated which yields, via static state-feedback, exact state linearization and input-output decoupling of the closed-loop system. The proposed approach has been used to design a controller for motor torque and flux. Simulation tests are included.
