Artificial Neural Network Based Speed and Torque Control of Three Phase Induction Motor

Amanulla ^[5] | Manjunath Prasad

Abstract: Direct Torque Control (DTC) of Induction Motor drive has quick torque response without complex orientation transformation and inner loop current control. DTC has some drawbacks, such as the torque and flux ripple. The control scheme performance relies on the accurate selection of the switching voltage vector. This proposed simple structured neural network based new identification method for flux position estimation, sector selection and stator voltage vector selection for induction motors using direct torque control (DTC) method. The ANN based speed controller has been introduced to achieve good dynamic performance of induction motor drive. The Levenberg-Marquardt back-propagation technique has been used to train the neural network. Proposed simple structured network facilitates a short training and processing times. The stator flux is estimated by using the modified integration with amplitude limiter algorithms to overcome drawbacks of pure integrator. The conventional flux position estimator, sector selector and stator voltage vector selector based modified direct torque control (MDTC) scheme compared with the proposed scheme and the results are validated through both by simulation and experimentation.
