Enhanced Fuzzy Logic Control Model and Sliding Mode Based on Field Oriented Control of Induction Motor

In the context of induction motor control, there are various control strategies used to separately control torque and flux. One common approach is known as Field-Oriented Control (FOC). This technique involves transforming the three-phase currents and voltages into a rotating reference frame, commonly referred to as the “dq” frame. In this frame, the torque/speed and flux components are decoupled, allowing for independent control, by doing so, the motor’s speed can be regulated accurately and maintain a constant flux which is crucial to ensure optimal motor performance and efficiency. The research focused on studying and simulating a field-oriented control system using fuzzy control techniques for an induction motor. The aim was to address the issue of parameter variations, particularly the change in rotor resistance during motor operation, which causes the control system to deviate from the desired direction. This deviation implies to an increase in the magnetic flux value, specifically the flux component on the q-axis. By employing fuzzy logic techniques to regulate flux vector’s components in the dq frame, this problem was successfully resolved, ensuring that the magnetic flux value remains within the nominal limits. To enhance the control system’s performance, response speed, and efficiency of the motor, sliding mode controllers were implemented to regulate the current in the inner loop. The simulation results demonstrated the proficiency of the proposed methodology.

A fuzzy sliding-mode control (FSMC) scheme based on T-S fuzzy models was proposed for the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive system to solve the speed tracking problem. A T-S fuzzy model was firstly formed to represent the nonlinear system of PMSM. For converting the tracking control into a stabilization problem, a new control design was proposed to define the internal desired states. Then, the FSMC controller for PMSM system with parameter variation and load disturbance was designed based on the fuzzy model.

The results show that the FSMC scheme can drive the dynamics of PMSM into a designated sliding surface in finite time and guarantee the property of asymptotical stability. The information of upper bound of modeling errors as well as perturbations is not required when using the FSMC controller.

Fuzzy-Logic Based Speed Control of Induction Motor Considering Core Loss into Account

Rotor flux and torque of an induction motor (IM) are decoupled to obtain performance of DC motor. The decoupling strategy has been developed in terms of stator current components where the core loss is neglected. Many different controllers including fuzzy logic controller (FLC) with neglecting core loss have been designed to control the speed of induction motor. The outcome of investigation about the effect of core loss on indirect field oriented control (IFOC) has been concluded that the actual flux and torque are not reached to the reference flux and torque if core loss is neglected. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to propose a fuzzy logic speed controller of induction motor where flux and torque decoupling strategy is decoupled in terms of magnetizing current instead of stator current to alleviate the effects of core loss. The performances of proposed fuzzy-logic-based controller have been verified by computer simulation. The simulation of speed control of IM using PI and FLC are performed. The simulation study for high-performance control of IM drive shows the superiority of the proposed fuzzy logic controller over the conventional PI controller.

Thermal Compensation and Fuzzy Control for Developing a High-Precision Optical Lens Mold

Precision plastic lenses often exhibit dimensional deviations due to the thermal expansion of the mold during injection molding.Although this deviation is smaller in micron-sized(1–5μm)lenses,it exceeds the tolerance requirement of such lenses.It is difficult to resolve this dimensional issue by using injection molding parameters(e.g.,melt temperature,injection speed,and hold pressure).In this study,the thermal analysis of a mold was conducted,and it was confirmed that the deviation of lens dimension was caused by the thermal instability and thermal expansion of the mold.Due to the inconsistent heat distribution of the fixed and the movable side of the mold,the position of the location system was displaced approximately 1 to 5μm.In this study,thermal compensation technology for this the mold was investigated.The temperature on both sides of the mold was measured,and mold temperature could be adjusted automatically using a control strategy based on fuzzy theory.During the mold preheating or mass production stage,the temperature on both sides of the mold could be easily adjusted to quickly obtain the required temperature range.The dilatation on both sides of the mold was revised to improve the alignment accuracy of the cavity,and the decenter error of these injection lenses was reduced to 1μm.This technology can markedly improve the production yield and efficiency of plastic products requiring an extremely high dimensional accuracy.

Application of Fuzzy Control to Improve Flow Balance of Multi-Cavity Hot Runner System

In this study, we propose a new temperature compensation control strategy for a multi-cavity hot runner injection molding system, At first, the melt filling time of each cavity can be measured by installing temperature sensors on the position around end filling area, and filling time difference between the various cavities can be calculated. Then the melt temperature of each hot nozzle can be adjusted automatically by a control strategy established based on the Fuzzy Theory and a program compiled with LABVIEW software. Temperature changes the melt mobility, so the adjustment of temperature can equalize the filling time of the melt in each cavity, which can reduced the mass deviation between each cavity and make product properties of each cavity consistent. The conclusion of the experiment is as follows： For this contact lens box of a four-cavity Hot Runner mold, by applying hot runner temperature compensation control system, time difference can be reduced from 0.05 s to 0.01 s at each cavity, and the mass Standard deviation of the four cavity can be improved from 0.006 to 0.002. The ratio of imbalance can be reduced from 20% to 4%. Hence, the hot runner temperature compensation control system has significant feasibility and high potential in improving melt flow balance of multi-cavity molding application.

Learning fuzzy controller and extended Kalman filter for sensorless induction motor robust against resistance variation

This paper presents a new sensorless vector controlled induction motor drive robust against rotor resistance variation. Indeed, the speed and rotor resistance are estimated using extended Kalman filter （EKF）. Then, we introduce a new fuzzy logic speed controller based on learning by minimizing cost function. This strategy is based on a topology control self-organized and an algorithm for modifying the knowledge base of fuzzy corrector. The learning mechanism addresses the con- sequences of corrector rules, which are modified according to the comparison between the current speed of machine and an output signal or a desired trajectory. Thus, fuzzy associative memory is constructed to meet the criteria imposed in problems either control or pursuit. The consequent algorithm updating consists of a regulator mechanism allowing a fast and robust learning without unnecessarily compromising the control signal and steady- state performance. The performance of this new strategy is satisfactory, even in the presence of noise or when there are variations in the parameters of induction motor drive.

As more and more variable frequency drives (VFDs), electronic ballasts, battery chargers, and static Var compensators are installed in facilities, the problems related to harmonics are expected to get worse. As a result Active power filter (APF) gains much more attention due to excellent harmonic compensation. But still the performance of the active filter seems to be in contradictions with different control strategies. This paper presents detailed analysis to compare and elevate the performance of two control strategies for ex-tracting reference currents of shunt active filters under balanced, un-balanced and non-sinusoidal conditions by using Fuzzy controller. The well known methods, instantaneous real active and reactive power method (p-q) and active and reactive current method (id-iq) are two control methods which are extensively used in active filters. Extensive Simulations are carried out with fuzzy controller for both p-q and Id-Iq methods for different voltage conditions and adequate results were presented. Simulation results validate the superior per-formance of active and reactive current control strategy (id-iq) with fuzzy controller over active and reactive power control strategy (p-q) with fuzzy controller.
