Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the dynamical response of speed using the design of a Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) to regulate the motor speed, while the load changes. Induction motor power control has become popular in recent years in high-performance drive systems. It is due to its amazing qualities, such as high-performance, a high energy factor, and significant toughness. The overall performance of the controller is estimated using MATLAB or Simulink software and a common Proportional Integral (PI) management technique. This work discusses the design and construction of a voltage supply inverter-based Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) system for regulating the speed of an induction motor. This observation also incorporates a fuzzy controller into the SVPWM to maintain the motor speed constant even when the load varies. FLC is used to alter the pulse width of the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) converter, which controls the motor pace. This paper describes the application of a rule-based Mamdani type FLC to a closed loop induction motor model.
