Abstract

Direct torque control (DTC) for induction motor (IM) drive systems is recognized as a powerful control method known for its fast response and simple structure. However, this control method often suffers from several limitations, such as significant torque and current ripple, and sensitivity to variations in motor parameters. To address these issues, this paper proposes a novel sliding mode control strategy for the outer speed loop to improve the quality of DTC-based IM drive systems. Unlike previous approaches, we propose a novel adaptive parameter higher-order sliding mode (HOSM) controller for IM speed control. This approach enhances the drive system's performance by reducing torque ripple (a common issue in DTC), improving dynamic response, eliminating overshoot during transients, and increasing overall system stability. To ensure system stability, Lyapunov stability theory is used to design the control signals. The efficiency of the control law proposed in this paper is evaluated based on simulations performed on MATLAB-Simulink. The results obtained demonstrate that: First, the proposed control model for fast torque and speed responses, ensuring the drive system converges to the desired operating point during transients without encountering the phenomenon of exceeding the threshold. Second, the system maintains stable operation, even in the presence of load disturbances. Third, this method significantly reduces torque ripple, a common problem in IM drive systems using DTC techniques.

Abstract

This paper presents a novel hybrid control strategy that integrates a proportional-integral (PI) regulator with an adaptive super-twisting sliding mode controller (ASTA) defined on a nonsingular terminal sliding mode control (NTSMC) surface for high-performance induction motor drives (IMDs). This enhanced hybrid PI-ASTA-NTSMC architecture jointly exploits the steady-state accuracy of PI control and the finite-time robustness of a higher-order sliding mode formulation. The adaptive mechanism of the super-twisting algorithm dynamically adjusts the switching gains according to the instantaneous sliding variable, ensuring consistent performance under time-varying loads and parameter variations. The NTSMC surface guarantees singularity-free finite-time convergence, while the adaptive ASTA law suppresses chattering and enhances disturbance rejection. Simulation results across multiple operating conditions show that the proposed controller significantly outperforms PI and PI-FOSMC schemes. It achieves the fastest transient, reducing settling time to 0.0407 s (39.4% and 31.5% faster than PI and PI-FOSMC), with overshoot lowered to 0.0091 rad/s and ISE/IAE minimized to 0.0035 and 0.0256, confirming its superior tracking precision. Additionally, reductions in the speed and torque RMSE indicate smoother control effort and improved closed-loop performance. The Lyapunov-based analysis confirms global finite-time stability of the overall system. With its enhanced robustness, low sensitivity to sampling noise, and continuous higher-order sliding structure that suppresses chattering, the proposed hybrid PI–ASTA–NTSMC offers a computationally efficient and practically attractive solution for integrated speed–flux control in industrial IM drives.
