A speed-sensorless state feedback controller for induction machines (IMs) with LC filter is proposed. The estimation of speed and remaining states is based on a speed-adaptive observer, requiring only the measurement of the filter input currents. The motor currents are controlled by a state-feedback controller with proportional and integral control action to achieve fast and asymptotic set point tracking. Observer and controller gains are calculated offline using linear quadratic regulator (LQR) theory and updated online (gain-scheduling), in order to guarantee stability and improve control performance in the whole operation range. The proposed control scheme is validated by simulation and experimental results including several zero-crossings of the mechanical speed. It is shown that the overall control system performs well under various load- and speed conditions; while its tuning remains easy making it attractive also for industrial application.
