Speed-sensorless control using Elman neural network

This paper describes a modified speed-sensorless control for induction motor (IM) based on space vector pulse width modulation and neural network. An Elman ANN method to identify the IM speed is proposed, with IM parameters employed as associated elements. The BP algorithm is used to provide an adaptive estimation of the motor speed. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by simulation results. The implementation on TMS320F240 fixed DSP is provided.
