A novel neuro-fuzzy controller for vector controlled induction motor drive

In this paper, a novel neuro-fuzzy controller is proposed for the vector controlled induction motor. Neural network controller is interfaced with the three phase induction motor initially. Performance of this neural network controller with the three phase induction motor is analysed under disturbance environment. It is identified that neural network controller is not working well in terms of speed tracking. Hence neuro-fuzzy controller is interfaced with the three phase induction motor. Performance of this proposed neuro-fuzzy controller is analysed in the disturbance environment. At the end, Comparison chart is made to know the effectiveness of the proposed neuro-fuzzy controller with the neural network controller. This comparison chart is described for the various control system parameter aspects. It is recognised that the proposed neuro-fuzzy controller works well in the presence of the disturbances. Moreover, this neuro-fuzzy controller operates skilfully for all the necessary working conditions. (C) 2017 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
