Role of optimization algorithms based fuzzy controller in achieving induction motor performance enhancement.
Three-phase induction motors (TIMs) are widely used for machines in industrial operations. As an accurate and robust controller, fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is crucial in designing TIMs control systems. The performance of FLC highly depends on the membership function (MF) variables, which are evaluated by heuristic approaches, leading to a high processing time. To address these issues, optimisation algorithms for TIMs have received increasing interest among researchers and industrialists. Here, we present an advanced and efficient quantum-inspired lightning search algorithm (QLSA) to avoid exhaustive conventional heuristic procedures when obtaining MFs. The accuracy of the QLSA based FLC (QLSAF) speed control is superior to other controllers in terms of transient response, damping capability and minimisation of statistical errors under diverse speeds and loads. The performance of the proposed QLSAF speed controller is validated through experiments. Test results under different conditions show consistent speed responses and stator currents with the simulation results
Evolution of Controllers for the Speed Control in Thyristor Fed Induction Motor Drive
Induction Motors (IMs) are now becoming the pillar of almost all the motoring applications related to the industry and household. The practical applications of IMs usually require constant motoring speed. As a result, different types of control systems for IM's speed controlling have been shaped. One of the important techniques is the utilization of thyristor fed drive. Although, the thyristor fed induction motor drive (TFIMD) offers stable speed performance, the practical speed control demand is much more precise. Hence, this drive system utilizes additional controllers to attain precise speed for practical applications. This paper offers a detailed review of the controllers utilized with the thyristor fed IM drive in the past few decades to achieve good speed control performance. The clear intent of the paper is to provide a comprehensible frame of the pros and cons of the existing controllers developed for the TFIMD speed control requirements.

Lightning search algorithm: a comprehensive survey
The lightning search algorithm (LSA) is a novel meta-heuristic optimization method, which is proposed in 2015 to solve constraint optimization problems. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of the applications, variants, and results of the so-called LSA. In LSA, the best-obtained solution is defined to improve the effectiveness of the fitness function through the optimization process by finding the minimum or maximum costs to solve a specific problem. Meta-heuristics have grown the focus of researches in the optimization domain, because of the foundation of decision-making and assessment in addressing various optimization problems. A review of LSA variants is displayed in this paper, such as the basic, binary, modification, hybridization, improved, and others. Moreover, the classes of the LSA’s applications include the benchmark functions, machine learning applications, network applications, engineering applications, and others. Finally, the results of the LSA is compared with other optimization algorithms published in the literature. Presenting a survey and reviewing the LSA applications is the chief aim of this survey paper

New commercial power electronic controllers come to the market almost every day to help improve electronic circuit and system performance and efficiency. In DC–DC switching-mode converters, a simple and elegant hysteretic controller is used to regulate the basic buck, boost and buck–boost converters under slightly different configurations. In AC–DC converters, the input current shaping for power factor correction posts a constraint. But, several brilliant commercial controllers are demonstrated for boost and fly back converters to achieve almost perfect power factor correction.

Toward Enhanced State of Charge Estimation of Lithium-ion Batteries Using Optimized Machine Learning Techniques.
State of charge (SOC) is a crucial index used in the assessment of electric vehicle (EV) battery storage systems. Thus, SOC estimation of lithium-ion batteries has been widely investigated because of their fast charging, long-life cycle, and high energy density characteristics. However, precise SOC assessment of lithium-ion batteries remains challenging because of their varying characteristics under different working environments. Machine learning techniques have been widely used to design an advanced SOC estimation method without the information of battery chemical reactions, battery models, internal properties, and additional filters. Here, the capacity of optimized machine learning techniques are presented toward enhanced SOC estimation in terms of learning capability, accuracy, generalization performance, and convergence speed. We validate the proposed method through lithium-ion battery experiments, EV drive cycles, temperature, noise, and aging effects. We show that the proposed method outperforms several state-of-the-art approaches in terms of accuracy, adaptability, and robustness under diverse operating conditions
A Novel Self-Tuning Fuzzy Logic Controller Based Induction Motor Drive System: An Experimental Approach
High-performance induction motor (IM) drives require fast dynamic responses, robust to parameter variations, withstand load disturbance, stable control systems, and support easy hardware/software implementation. Fuzzy logic control (FLC) for speed controllers is garnering attention from researchers, since it is proven to produce better results compared with the conventional PI speed controllers. However, fixed parameter FLC experiences performance degradation when the system operates away from the design point or is affected by parameter variations or load disturbances. The purpose of this paper is to design and implement a simple self-tuning fuzzy logic controller (ST-FLC) for IM drives application. The proposed self-tuning mechanism is able to adjust the output scaling factor of the main FLC speed controller by improving the accuracy of the crisp output. The IM drive employed an indirect field-oriented control (IFOC) method fed by a hysteresis current controller (HCC). The fixed parameter FLC for the main speed controller comprises nine rules that are tuned to achieve the best performance. Then, a simple self-tuning mechanism is applied to the main fuzzy logic speed controller. All simulation work was done using Simulink and fuzzy tools in the MATLAB software. The effectiveness of the proposed controller was investigated by conducting a comparative analysis between fixed parameter FLC and ST-FLC in forward and reverse speed operations, with and without load disturbances. Finally, the experimental testing was carried out to validate the simulation results with the aid of a digital signal controller board, dSPACE DS1104, with an induction motor drive system. Based on the results, the ST-FLC showed superior performance in transient and steady-state conditions in terms of various performance measures, such as overshoot, rise time, settling time, and recovery time
PERFORMA PENGENDALI ARUS STATOR DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN ANFIS PADA PENGEMUDIAN MOTOR INDUKSI BERBASIS VECTOR CONTROL
Vector control terdiri atas dua pengendali arus stator dq-axis. Performa pengendalian motor induksi secara keseluruhan bergantung pada salah satu atau kedua pengendali arus stator tersebut. Umumnya pengendali arus stator menggunakan pengendali PI, namun pengendali ini memiliki beberapa kelemahan utama yaitu susahnya menentukan gain dari proportional maupun integral. ANFIS yang menggabungkan fuzzy logic controller dan artificial neural network menawarkan kemampuan training, adaptif, cepat, dan handal. Pada paper ini pengendali ANFIS diterapkan untuk pengendali arus stator d-axis pada pengemudian motor induksi berdaya 10 HP dengan metode pengemudian vector control. Keseluruhan sistemnya divalidasi melalui MATLAB/Simulink. Pengendali ANFIS dibandingkan dengan pengendali PI untuk mengevaluasi performa dari motor. Evaluasi performa yang diamati yaitu performa kecepatan dinamik dan performa arus dengan skema pengujian berbeban konstan dan bervariasi. Dari kedua pengujian, pengendali arus stator d-axis PI dan ANFIS menghasilkan trend respon kecepatan dinamik yang sama, namun pengendali arus stator d-axis ANFIS mampu mereduksi konsumsi arus fasa, ripple arus stator d-axis, dan THD arus fasa
DESAIN KONTROL KECEPATAN MOTOR INDUKSI TIGA FASA MENGGUNAKAN FUZZY PID BERBASIS IDIRECT FIELD ORIENTED CONTROL
Motor induksi tiga fasa (MITF) umumnya digunakan di berbagai aplikasi di industri karena keandalannya, biaya rendah, kontruksi kokoh, perawatan rendah, dan effisiensi yang tinggi. Namun untuk mengontrol MITF tidak semudah seperti mengontrol motor DC, karena MITF merupakan motor yang tidak linear. Penggunaan metode indirect field oriented control (IFOC) dengan kontroler fuzzy proportional integrator and derivative (FPID) dipilih untuk dapat mengatur kecepatan MITF. Metode IFOC akan membuat MITF dapat dikontrol seperti motor DC penguat terpisah. Kontroler FPID yang di desain dengan mengganti kontroler PID konvensional. Performa kontroler FPID yang di desain dibandingkan dengan kontroler PID konvensional. Performa respon yang dibandingkan seperti rise time, settling time, overshoot, steady state error, dan undershoot. Hasil simulasi yang dibuat menunjukkan bahwa dengan menggunakan kontroler FPID lebih baik dibandingkan dengan kontroler PID. Dimana respon overshoot untuk kontroler FPID 0% sedangkan kontroler PID adalah 0.23%. Begitu pula dengan respon undershoot untuk kontrol FPID adalah 2.88% sedangkan kontroler PID adalah 6.78%. Untuk respon rise time, settling time, dan steady state error tidak jauh berbeda dari kedua kontroler. Sistem yang sudah di buat disimulasikan di platform LabVie
