Abstract This paper presents a new adaptive robust control for induction motor drives. The proposed control scheme is based on the so‐called field oriented control theory that allows to control the induction motor like a separately excited direct current motor drive, where the field flux (produced by the field current) and the armature flux (produced by the armature current) are decoupled. The robust control law is based on the sliding mode control theory, but unlike the traditional sliding mode control schemes, the proposed design incorporates an adaptive switching gain that avoids the need of calculating an upper limit of the system uncertainties. Moreover the proposed control law is smoothed out in order to avoid the high control activity inherent to the switching control laws. The resulting closed loop system is proven to be stable using the Lyapunov stability theory. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley and Sons Asia Pte Ltd and Chinese Automatic Control Society
