Switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive has a remarkable characteristic, high efficiency, and good controllability, which makes it attractive for high-speed applications. In this paper, the basic control strategy for a switched reluctance motor drive circuit is explained and then three different resonant discharge topologies for SRM drive circuit are proposed. Due to resonantly discharging of exc...

the efficiency of induction motors decreases at light loads. efficiency optimizer control systemsadjust the motor flux value to achieve the best efficiency in a wide range of load variations. reduced fluxoperation has some other benefits such as power factor improvement and torque ripple reduction. the latter isan important issue in a direct torque controlled induction motor drive. in this pape...

in direct torque control, the selection of an applied voltage vector is based on the measuredparameters at the beginning of the sampling period. the delay between the measurement and the application of the voltage vector is the origin of an extra torque ripple. in this paper, a new predictive controller is proposed for compensating this delay and reducing the torque ripple. the stator current i...

This paper presents a new adaptive Sliding-Mode flux observer for speed sensorless and rotor flux control of three-phase induction motor (IM) drives. The motor drive is supplied by a three-level space vector modulation (SVM) inverter. Considering the three-phase IM Equations in a stator stationary two axis reference frame, using the partial feedback linearization control and Sliding-Mode (SM) c...

In this paper, the design and implementation of adaptive speed controller for a sensorless synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) drive system is proposed. A combination of well-known adaptive input-output feedback linearization (AIOFL) and adaptive backstepping (ABS) techniques are used for speed tracking control of SynRM. The AIOFL controller is capable of estimating motor two-axis inductances ...

In this article, a speed control of DC motor is designed and illustrated using fuzzy logic-based programmable logic controller (PLC). The DC motor is an attractive part of electrical equipment in many industrial applications requiring variable speed and load specifications due to its ease of controllability. The designed system is consisted of three main parts including programmable logic contr...

this paper presents fuzzy and conventional performance of model reference adaptive control(mrac) to control a dc drive. the aims of this work are achieving better match of motor speed with reference speed, decrease of noises under load changes and disturbances, and increase of system stability. the operation of nonadaptive control and the model reference of fuzzy and conventional adaptive contr...
