Abstract: In this work, the application of a sliding mode equivalent control for an induction motor drive based on a multi-pulse Voltage Source Converter is proposed. This is accomplished by transforming the squirrel-cage induction motor mathematical model into a block control form. The equivalent control method is applied to the sliding manifold, where the voltages are obtained in the stationary reference frame to control the angular velocity of the motor. In addition, a proportional-integral control is designed and applied to the motor represented in this form in order to make performance comparisons with the equivalent control method. Multi-pulse converters of 6, 12, and 84 pulses are used directly to feed the plant that is being controlled. The outcomes of using these power electronics devices are used to perform comparisons among the velocity tracking performance, control voltages in stationary reference frame, tracking errors, and rejection of external disturbances. Furthermore a dynamic and steady-state analysis of the velocity tracking performance is executed. The energy profiles for the startup, torque variations, and steady-state are also obtained. Additionally, total harmonic distortion values are added. All comparisons are carried out using the established plan for the motor, both with and without the use of power electronics converters, and with both control algorithms. The obtained results demonstrate that the use of a high-quality voltage source converter, along with a good control strategy, allows for a general improvement in the overall system and a significant reduction in energy usage, whilst also reducing controller complexity.
