A model-following adaptive control structure is proposed for the speed control of a nonlinear motor drive system and the compensation of the nonlinearities. A recurrent artificial neural network is used for the online modeling and control of the nonlinear motor drive system with high static and Coulomb friction. The neural network is first trained off-line to learn the inverse dynamics of the m...

This project presents an online lossminimization algorithm (LMA) for a fuzzy-logiccontroller (FLC)-based interior permanent-magnet synchronous-motor (IPMSM) drive to yield high efficiency and high dynamic performance over a wide speed range. LMA is developed based on the motor model. In order to minimize the controllable electrical losses of the motor and thereby maximize the operating efficien...

Common drive is thought to constitute a central mechanism by which the efficiency of a motor neuron pool is increased. This study tested the hypothesis that common drive to the upper airway muscle genioglossus (GG) would increase with increased respiratory drive in response to an inspiratory load. Respiration, GG electromyographic (EMG) activity, single-motor unit activity, and coherence in the...

Major constraints while using motor drive system are efficiency and cost. Commutation in the conventional DC motors is carried out by commutator which is rotating part placed on the rotor and brushes. Due to these mechanical parts, conventional DC motor consist high amount of losses. Brushless DC (BLDC) Motors are very extensively used motors these days because of its advantages over convention...

In this paper combination of a load-commutated inverter (LCI) and a voltage-source inverter (VSI) are employed for performance analysis of induction motor drive. Performance of the drive has been evaluated through the different variation in reference speed and load torque. proposed LCI-based induction motor drives include the following Advantages: 1) sinusoidal motor phase current and voltage b...

Induction motors (IMs) are widely used in many industrial applications due to their robustness, low cost, simplicity and relative good efficiency. One of the major considerations for IMs is their speed control. PI (proportional-integrator) controllers are usually used as speed controller. Adjusting the gain of PI controller is time-consuming which needs thorough considerations. Hence, fuzzy con...
