Abstract
Consideration of core losses and stray load losses to design a controller of an inverter fed
induction motor are affected to the flux and torque decoupling strategy adversely. As a
consequence, the detuning of field-oriented control (FOC) is required. The detuning strategies
have been developed in some literatures. But the implementation of detuning becomes difficult
because of higher order expression. In general, the controlling and estimation of AC drives
are considerably more complex than those of DC drives. This complexity increases
substantially if high performances are demanded. The main reasons for this complexity are
the need of variable frequency, harmonically optimum converter power supplies, the complex
dynamics of AC machines, machine parameter variations, and the difficulties of processing
feedback signals in the presence of harmonics. To avoid the detuning strategies and to
minimize the overshoot and steady state error problems which occur while using a
conventional PI controller, the decoupling control strategies with integral plus proportional
controller have been proposed in this paper.

INTRODUCTION
An asynchronous AC motor in which the rotor
receives electric power by induction is
familiarized as induction motor. Of all AC
motors, three-phase induction motor is the one
which is extensively used for various kinds of
industrial drives because of its simple and
extremely rugged unbreakable construction
alongside sufficiently high efficiency. It starts
up from rest and needs no extra starting motor
and has not to be synchronized [1]. But it has
to sacrifice some efficiency to vary the speed.
We are in a mission to achieve desired speed
at certain condition by varying its speed
without sacrificing efficiency. The desired
speed is achieved by using four IP controllers
namely, the speed controller, flux controller
and stator d-axis and q-axis current controller,
which is composed utilizing the IP controller.
IP gives an overshoot free response in
comparison to PI controllers which are used
usually. It shows better performance regarding
the clearance of steady state error which
occurs in other controlling process [2].
The designed controller, which decouples
torque and flux provides d-axis and q-axis
stator voltage components. The gains of the
controllers are chosen by setting poles in left
half of s-plane with proper electing of natural
frequency and damping ratio with the purpose
of achieving stable operation of the proposed
IP controller. The proposed speed controlling
process of IM using IP controller was
substantiated in simulations using
Matlab/Simulink and effects have
demonstrated astounding execution. Despite of
taking stray load-loss and core loss into
account, it was originated that the proposed IP
controllers can provide excellent performance
in speed [2]. The voltage and torque equations
that describe the dynamic behavior of an
induction motor are time-varying. The
dynamic analysis of the symmetrical induction
machines in the arbitrary reference frame has
