Design of Memristor Based Controller for Speed Control of Induction Motor

In this article, a PID controller using a memristor is designed for speed control of an induction motor. The speed of an induction motor decreases as the load increase. The purpose of the developed memristor based PID controller is to eliminate the speed drop of an induction motor under the influence of a step load change. The root mean square error of the speed deviation is chosen as the objective function of the proposed memristor based controller. The performance of the developed controller is tested using simulation. The simulation study of the proposed induction motor controller is carried out in MATLAB/SIMULINK. The performance of the proposed controller is also compared to a conventional PID controller.
