ANFIS Based Speed Controller for a Direct

Torque Controlled Induction Motor Drive

Hadhiq Khan, Shoeb Hussain, Mohammad Abid Bazaz

Abstract This paper presents a Neuro-Fuzzy adaptive controller for speed control
of a three phase direct torque controlled induction motor drive. The Direct Torque
Control (DTC) scheme is one of the most advanced methods for controlling the flux
and electromagnetic torque of machines. Control of electromagnetic torque/speed in
these drives for high performance applications requires a highly robust and adaptive
controller. Adaptive Neural-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) is a hybrid between
Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) that enhances
the execution of direct torque controlled drives and overcomes the difficulties in the
physical implementation of high performance drives.
MATLAB/SIMULINK implementation of 15 hp, 50 Hz, 4 pole squirrel cage
induction motor controlled with the DTC scheme is presented in this paper. The PI
controller used for speed control in conventional DTC drives is substituted by the
ANFIS based controller. Simulation results show the use of ANFIS decreases the
response time along with reduction in torque ripples.

contruction, the absence of commutators and brushes are some of the distinct ad-
vantages that make induction motors the most preferred motors in electric drive
systems.
Induction motors happen to be constant speed motors. With the use of power
electronic converters, induction motors can be employed in variable speed appli-
cations. To interface between the fixed voltage and frequency utility supply with
motors, power electronic converters are used. High frequency and low loss power
semiconductor devices are being increasingly used for manufacturing efficient con-
verters.
Compared to the control of dc motors, the control of induction motors is difficult
owing to the fact that the induction motor is a dynamic, nonlinear system. Unpre-
dictable disturbances such as noise and load changes and the uncertainties in the
machine parameters further complicate the control problem.
To reduce the complex nonlinear structure, advanced control techniques such as
field oriented control (FOC) [1], [2] and direct torque control (DTC) [3], [4] have
been developed offering fast and dynamic torque response. The DTC scheme, as
the name indicates is a direct control of the torque and flux of the machine. The
electromagnetic torque and the flux generated in the machine is compared to the
reference values of the torque and flux in hysteresis comparators. The outputs of
the two comparators along with the stator flux position determine the voltage vector
from a lookup table.
For controlling the various states of the inverter, control pulses are generated.
The output of the inverter is eventually fed to the induction motor.
Even though FOC and DTC methods have been effective, a number of drawbacks
are observed ( distortions in currents and torque due to change in the flux sector, the
need for high sampling frequency for digital implementation of the comparators,
sensitivity to variations in the machine parameters etc).
To mitigate the shortcomings in the DTC scheme, intelligent control techniques
using human motivated techniques, pattern recognition and decision making are be-
ing adopted [5], [6]. Some of the methods based on the concept of Artificial intelli-
gence (AI) are Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Expert System (ES), Fuzzy Logic
Control (FLC) to mention a few. AI based techniques when implemented in motor
control have shown improved performance [7].
Generally, motor control drives rely on the use of PI controllers. These con-
trollers, however, are sensitive to system non-linearities, variations in parameters
and any unwanted disturbances. These disadvantages can be overcome by the use of
AI based intelligent controllers. Fuzzy logic and artificial neural networks are two
of the most popular systems for use as intelligent controllers and have shown an
improved performance over conventional controllers [8], [9], [10]. ANFIS (adaptive
neural network based fuzzy inference system), a hybrid of ANN and FLC is another
popular control scheme being used in high performance drives, having superior de-
sign and performance characteristics [6].
The use of an ANFIS based speed controller for a direct torque controlled induc-
tion motor drive is presented in this paper. The PI controller used in the conventional
DTC scheme is replaced with the ANFIS based speed controller.
