In this paper, a sensorless speed control for linear induction motors (LIMs) is developed based on fuzzy observer design. First, the LIMs is represented by a Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model. Next, the fuzzy observer is constructed to estimate the immeasurable states of mover speed and secondary flux, where the observer gains are obtained by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs).
