Switched Reluctance Motor is a rotating electric machine where both stator and rotor have salient poles. Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) drives are gaining attention due to their extremely rugged construction and fault-tolerant capabilities, which prove that SRM drives, are highly suitable for variety of industrial applications. In this paper, FPGA based digital controllers are designed for a 6...

An important factor in industrial progress during the past five decades has been the increasing sophistication of factory automation which has improved productivity manyfold. Manufacturing lines typically involve a variety of variable speed motor drives which serve to power conveyor belts, robot arms, overhead cranes, steel process lines, paper mills, and plastic and fiber processing lines to n...

Our motor system changes due to causes that span multiple timescales. For example, muscle response can change because of fatigue, a condition where the disturbance has a fast timescale or because of disease where the disturbance is much slower. Here we hypothesize that the nervous system adapts in a way that reflects the temporal properties of such potential disturbances. According to a Bayesia...

Model Based Control (MBC) is one of the energy optimal controllers used in vector-controlled Induction Motor (IM) for controlling the excitation of motor in accordance with torque and speed. MBC offers energy conservation especially at part-load operation, but it creates ripples in torque and speed during load transition, leading to poor dynamic performance of the drive. This study investigates...

This paper presents a novel design using fuzzy logic control and phase-locked loop to obtain a DC motor speed control system with excellent regulation and high robustness. The fuzzy logic controller is incoprated in order to achieve quick contml of motor speed rmoothly, The fimy logic controller enhances the robustness of the motor control system, which can handle abrupt load variation and exhi...

This paper considers the control problem of a robotic manipulator with separately excited dc motor drives as actuators. An innovative method is proposed which achieves robot speed-control requirements, with simultaneous minimization of total electromechanical losses, while the drives follow the desired speed profiles of the robot joints under various loads and random load disturbances. If there...
