Fuzzy implementation of direct self-control of induction machines

A system with fast torque response is very beneficial in applications where direct torque control is highly desirable. The response of direct self control is slower during start-up and during change in command torque. Fuzzy control is used for the implementation of direct self control to improve its slow response. Experimental implementation of the fuzzy logic controller was carried out to verify the behavior of the controller. The controller was implemented with a single board computer that uses a TMS320C14 DSP. The experimental results with fuzzy control are compared with those of the conventional direct self controller. The starting flux and torque response and the responses to step changes in command torque with fuzzy implementation showed a considerable improvement over the conventional control. The steady state response for both controllers are the same.<
