Abstract
This paper presents the fundamentals of a new class of torque speed and position controllers for electric drives, characterized by the association of a modified sliding mode position (speed) controller and stator flux control through a unique table of optimal conduction sequence to fire directly the static power converter SCR switches. Robustness is provided by the sliding mode controller and stator (instead of rotor) flux vector estimation while control precision is secured by the torque pulsation controller. Fast response is obtained through the table of optimal conduction sequence which leads to the fastest response available through a stator flux vector (or stator accelerating field) control obtained without the transformation of coordinates or special techniques. The control computation time (costs) is drastically reduced in comparison with PWM transvector (or field accelerating) methods while the performance in terms of precision, response and robustness are better.
