Abstract: This paper presents adaptive neural network nonlinear observer associated with a sensor less nonlinear feedback linearisation controller for induction machine. The proposed observer is used to estimate the mechanical speed using the stator currents measurements and the supplied input voltages; whereas the load torque (unknown disturbance) is estimated using online radial basis neural network function approximation. The stability of the proposed controller-observer is achieved using Lyapunov function. Hence, simulation results have been performed under MATLAB/Simulink shows clearly the performance of the proposed algorithm.

Keywords: sensorless control; neural network observer; adaptive observer; load torque estimation; induction machine; feedback linearisation control; mechanical speed estimation; radial basis function approximation; field oriented control; FOC.
