This paper presents a nonlinear control design for both the H-2 and H-infin
ity optimal control for current-fed induction motor drives. These controlle
rs are derived using the analytical stationary solutions obtained in [3] th
at minimizes a generalized convex energy cost Function including the stored
magnetic energy and the coil losses, while satisfying torque regulation co
ntrol objectives. Explicit control expressions for both the H-2 and H-infin
ity optimal design are given. Furthermore, the optimal attenuation factor,
i.e., the optimal H-infinity norm and the corresponding worst case disturba
nce, are both computed explicitly.
