Flatness-based trajectory generation for induction machine control

Abstract

This article deals with the problem of trajectory generation and tracking for nonlinear systems. The principal problem considered concerns the generation of desired trajectories for differentially flat systems. In this work, two methods of trajectory generation are applied in case of induction machine control to solve the problem of trajectory tracking with good efficiencies. The first one is based on the polynomial functions and the second rests on the B-splines functions. The combined methods of PI controllers and trajectory planning give an improvement results in terms of trajectory tracking in the case of field-oriented control strategy.
