Fuzzy two-degrees-of-freedom speed controller for motor drives

A fuzzy two-degrees-of-freedom (2-DOF) controller and its application to the speed control of an induction motor drive are presented in this paper. The proposed controller is composed of two fuzzy controllers to obtain good tracking and regulating responses. Unlike the conventional fuzzy controller, the error between the outputs of a reference model and the controlled drive is used to drive the proposed fuzzy controller. The drive rotor speed response can closely follow the trajectory produced by the reference model, and good load speed regulating response can also be obtained simultaneously owing to the possession of two-degrees-of-freedom in structure. Moreover, these performances are rather insensitive to the operating condition changes. The dynamic signal analysis as well as the construction of fuzzy control algorithms are described in detail. Some simulated and measured results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed fuzzy controller.<
