In this paper, a robust vector control sensorless based on three Active Disturbance Rejection Controllers (ADRC) for an induction motor fed by a five-level cascaded H-bridge was developed. The estimation of rotor position is achieved using a Luenberger estimator. The proposed model considers the disturbances and the inaccuracies of the system and compensates them using the extended state observer of ADRC. Moreover, a five-level cascaded H-bridge inverter is the best topology to minimize the torque ripples and to improve the current output of IMunder control. The suggested control system was simulated under different conditions using MATLAB-Simulink. The results demonstrate the effectiveness and the robustness of the proposed system against disturbances such as variations of parameters and load torque.
