This paper deals with the application of a new neuron, the TLS EXIN neuron, to AC induction motor drives. In particular, it addresses two important subjects of AC induction motor drives: the on-line estimation of the electrical parameters of the machine and the speed estimation in sensorless drives. On this basis, this work summarizes the parameter estimation and sensorless techniques already d...

Induction motors are the most widely used for appliances, industrial control, and automation; however, many applications need variable speed operations. The rapid development of power electronics controllers in recent years has attracted the attention of researchers for making use of flexible characteristics of an induction motor in variable frequency drives. It presents a compact embedded fuzz...

Recently, digital signal processors (DSP's) are becoming more popular in the area of ac motor control, in particular the induction motor drives. The fast number crunching capabilities of DSP's which are traditionally meant for data processing tasks such as image processing and speech recognition, are being utilised to perform on-line calculation of the ac motor variables, such as electromagneti...

This paper has been attempted to presents the Comparative study of Proportional (P), Proportional Integral (PI), and Proportional Integral Derivative(PID) controller for speed control of induction motor. In general, the principle of operating a three phase IM indicates that the speed of the motor is directly related to the frequency of the supply. This fact has made the inverter fed induction m...

Herein is described an environmental and life cycle cost (LCC) analysis of one switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive and two inverter-fed induction motor (IM) drives. The two types of drives are compared based on critical reasoning, and European Commission (EC) Regulation 640/2009 is considered. Environmental impact and LCC were evaluated according the Methodology for the Ecodesign of Energy-Us...

The speculation of energy saving is an attention grabber when the savings and reduction in running cost are promising. This paper presents an efficient Neural Network (NN) based energy-saving scheme for three phase induction motors. The proposed scheme is based on the variable voltage control employing Space Vector Modulation (SVM). Voltage control is required to meet the variation in the input...

Induction motor drive is used in almost all industries including oil and gas sectors, production plants and process industries. Speed control of induction motor is a major concern. The proposed technology implements a better speed control for induction motor drives using a multilevel inverter. The switching sequences are generated by optimized pre-calculated angles for controlling induction mot...
