Experimental results The experiments have been performed to test the proposed input-output linearizing tracking control. The elements of the experimental system are the three-phase Semikron IGBT inverter the three-phase 3 kW IM Sever with wound rotor whose parameters are given in Appendix C and the DC motor MavilorMo2000 with an Infranor DC power converter as the dynamic load. The control algorithm was executed on the dSPACEDS1103 microcontroller board. A block diagram of the proposed IM drive s tracking control that includes magnetic saturation is presented in Fig. 2. Experiments were done using the reference value T 2 Vs 2. The smooth reference trajectories for the position 0r and the speed rnr were generated from the kinematic model and are shown in Figs. 3 a and 4 a . The step changes
