A Novel Fuzzy Logic Based Adaptive Supertwisting Sliding Mode Control Algorithm for Dynamic Uncertain Systems

This paper presents a novel fuzzy logic based Adaptive Super-twisting Sliding Mode Controller for the control of dynamic uncertain systems. The proposed controller combines the advantages of Second order Sliding Mode Control, Fuzzy Logic Control and Adaptive Control. The reaching conditions, stability and robustness of the system with the proposed controller are guaranteed. In addition, the proposed controller is well suited for simple design and implementation. The effectiveness of the proposed controller over the first order Sliding Mode Fuzzy Logic controller is illustrated by Matlab based simulations performed on a DC-DC Buck converter. Based on this comparison, the proposed controller is shown to obtain the desired transient response without causing chattering and error under steady-state conditions. The proposed controller is able to give robust performance in terms of rejection to input voltage variations and load variations.Comment: 14 page

The analysis of different techniques for speed control of permanent magnet synchronous motor

U radu se predstavljaju tehnike reguliranja brzine primjenom proporcionalnog integrala (PI), derivacije proporcionalnog integrala i fuzzy logike u pogonu sinkronog motora s permanentnim magnetima. PI i PID regulatori zahtijevaju precizni linearni matematički model sustava. S druge strane, FL zahtijeva lingvistički opis sustava. Analizirana je dinamička reakcija PMSMa na regulatore pri različitim opterećenjima. Uspoređena je učinkovitost reguliranja fuzzy logikom i uobičajenim načinima pomoću PI i PID. FL regulatori su reagirali bolje od uobičajenih tehnika pri prelaznim uvjetima opterećenja te postigli bržu regulaciju.This paper presents the use of proportional integral (PI), proportional integral derivative (PID) and fuzzy logic (FL) speed controller techniques in the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive. PI and PID controllers require precise linear mathematical model of the system. On the other hand, FL needs linguistic description of the system. The dynamic response of PMSM with the controllers was studied under different load disturbances. The effectiveness of the fuzzy logic controller was compared with the conventional PI and PID controllers. The FL controller responded better than conventional techniques under transient load conditions and also achieved faster settling response

Model predictive control of six-phase induction motor drives using virtual voltage vectors

The most serious and recent competitor to the standard field oriented control for induction motors (IM) is the finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC). Nevertheless, the extension to multiphase drives faces the impossibility to simultaneously regulate the flux/torque and the secondary current components (typically termed x − y in the literature). The application of a single switching state during the whole sampling period inevitably implies the appearance of x − y voltage/currents that increase the system losses and deteriorate the power quality. These circulating currents become intolerably high as per the unit x − y impedance and the switching frequency diminish. Aiming to overcome this limitation, this work suggests the integration of virtual voltage vectors (VVs) into the FCS-MPC structure. The VVs ensure null x − y voltages on average during the sampling period and the MPC approach selects the most suitable VV to fulfill the flux/torque requirements. The experimental results for a six-phase case study compare the standard FCS-MPC with the suggested method, confirming that the VV-based MPC maintains the flux/torque regulation and successfully improves the power quality and efficiency

Postfault Operation of an Asymmetrical Six-Phase Induction Machine With Single and Two Isolated Neutral Points

The paper presents a study of postfault control for an asymmetrical six-phase induction machine with single and two isolated neutral points, during single open-phase fault. Postfault control is based on the normal decoupling (Clarke) transformation, so that reconfiguration of the controller is minimized. Effect of the single open-phase fault on the machine equations under this control structure is discussed. Different modes of postfault operation are analyzed and are further compared in terms of the achievable torque and stator winding losses. Validity of the analysis is verified using experimental results obtained from a six-phase induction motor drive prototype

Fault-tolerant Operation of Six-phase Energy Conversion Systems with Parallel Machine-side Converters

The fault tolerance provided by multiphase machines is one of the most attractive features for industry applications where a high degree of reliability is required. Aiming to take advantage of such postfault operating capability, some newly designed full-power energy conversion systems are selecting machines with more than three phases. Although the use of parallel converters is usual in high-power three-phase electrical drives, the fault tolerance of multiphase machines has been mainly considered with single supply from a multiphase converter. This study addresses the fault-tolerant capability of six-phase energy conversion systems supplied with parallel converters, deriving the current references and control strategy that need to be utilized to maximize torque/power production. Experimental results show that it is possible to increase the postfault rating of the system if some degree of imbalance in the current sharing between the two sets of threephase windings is permitted.Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación ENE2014-52536-C2–1-R DPI2013-44278-RJunta de Andalucía P11-TEP-755

Optimal Fault-Tolerant Control of Six-Phase Induction Motor Drives with Parallel Converters

Multiphase drives and parallel converters have been recently proposed in low-voltage high-power applications. The fault-tolerant capability provided by multiphase drives is then extended with parallel converters, increasing their suitability for safety-critical and renewable uses. This advantageous feature, compared to standard threephase drives, has been analyzed in the event of open-phase faults. However, when using parallel converters, a converter fault does not necessarily imply an open-phase condition, but usually just a limited phase current capability. This work analyzes the fault-tolerant capability of six-phase drives with parallel converter supply. Different scenarios considering up to three faults for single and two neutral configurations are examined, optimizing off-line the post-fault currents and modifying accordingly the control strategies. Experimental results confirm the smooth transition from pre- to post-fault situations and the enhanced post-fault torque capability.Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación ENE2014- 52536-C2-1-R DPI2013-44278-RJunta de Andalucía P11-TEP-755
