Field oriented control of linear induction motor taking into account end-effects

It is presented in this paper a methodology to detect the slip angular frequency and the primary voltage in a linear induction motor taking into account the end effects, and based on field oriented control. The end effects of linear induction motor introduce undesired phenomena to high performance control. Simulation results are presented to show the validity of the proposed control. A good performance is obtained by means of PI controller; the linor (secondary) flux is obtained properly by the proposed control.
