Brushless DC motor (BLDCM) has been broadly used in drive systems and servo control because of its fast response, high power density, high efficiency, low inertia, high reliability and maintenance free. It is however driven by a hard-switching PWM inverter, which has low switching frequency, high switching loss, high electro-magnetic interference (EMI), high acoustic noise and low efficiency, e...

An adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control scheme is presented in this article. Despite the advantages of sliding mode control design for uncertain dynamic systems, classical sliding mode control has a major problem in the form of chattering, produced by the rapid switching used to conduct the state trajectories toward the sliding surfaces. A variety of methods are used to achieve chattering-free m...

The objective of this work is to provide a simple and effective nonlinear controller. Our strategy involves switching the underlying strategies in order to maintain a robust control. If a disturbance moves the system outside the region of stability or the domain of attraction, it will be guided back onto the desired course by the application of a different control strategy. In the context of sw...

A finite switchboard state machine is a specialized finite state machine. It is built by binding the concepts of switching state machines and commutative state machines. The main purpose of this paper is to give a specific algorithm for fuzzy finite switchboard state machine and also, investigates the concepts of switching relation, covering, restricted cascade products and wreath products of f...

Harmonic pollution and low power factor in power systems caused by power converters have been a great concern. To overcome these problems several converter topologies and control schemes have been proposed in recent years. This paper is proposed to study the control techniques for such converters to improve the Power Factor (PF) and reduce total harmonic distortion (THD) in the input current wi...

In the case of widely-uncertain non-linear system control design, it was very difficult to design a single controller to overcome control design specifications in all of its dynamical characteristics uncertainties. To resolve these problems, a new design method of robust fuzzy control proposed. The solution offered was by creating multiple soft-switching with Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model for optim...

This paper describes a hybrid anti-swing control scheme of an inspection robot in tunnels for power transmission cables. The hybrid control scheme consists of velocity switching and fuzzy logic control, so that the robot can be operated smoothly without causing excessive swings in acceleration or deceleration motion. In order to ensure control system robustness for greatest movement in the tunn...

This paper focuses on discrete-time sliding mode control with SIIM fuzzy adaptive switching gain. The adaptive switching gain is calculated using the simplified indirect inference fuzzy logic. Two fuzzy inputs are the normal distance from the present state trajectory to the switching function and the distance from the present state trajectory to the equilibrium state. The fuzzy output ( ) out f...

In this paper, the author proposes a sensorless direct torque control (DTC) of an induction motor (IM) fed by seven-level NPC inverter using artificial neural networks (ANN) and fuzzy logic controller. Fuzzy PI controller is used for controlling the rotor speed and ANN applied in switching select stator voltage. The control method proposed in this paper can reduce the torque, stator flux and to...

pulse-width modulated (pwm) adjustable frequency drives (afds) are extensively used in industries for control of induction motors. it has led to significant advantages in terms of the performance, size, and efficiency but the output voltage waveform no longer remains sinusoidal. hence, overshoots, high rate of rise, harmonics and transients are observed in the voltage wave. they increase voltag...
