where:
W(j27cf) = diag(Wdd(j27cf),wdn(j27cf)).

Weightfunctions. The weight functions used for the synthesis of the controllers
are given by:

s+18 85 s + 6.28 s + 628

w d e ( s ) = 8 . 5 L , w@(S)= s+o.628 ,Wde(S)=6-
s + 1.885 s + 62.8 ’

Design of the controller using the p - synthesis algorithm. Using the software
[ 111, the transfer functions of the above controllers have been obtained after few
iterations. Then, their order has been reduced using the Hankel method
implemented in the MATLAB environment. Controllers of third order have been
obtained.

4 Simulation results
The controller designed in the previous sections has been tested by means of
simulation experiments applying it in order to control the induction motor
considered in the previous Sections. The results, given in Fig. 5 , correspond to an
inertia coefficient equal to three times the nominal one and to variations of 30%

gl*rT
percent in the other coefficients appearing in the model, show the validity of the
approach followed.
