F. Mitterrand, 02880 Cuffies, France ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to prove that fuzzy logic algorithm is a suitable control technique for fast processes such as electrical machines. This theory has been experimented on different kinds of electrical machines such as stepping motors, dc motors and induction machines (with 6 phases) and the experimental results show that the proposed fuzzy logic algorithm is the most suitable control technique for electrical machines since this algorithm is not time consuming and it is also robust between plant parameters variations.

INTRODUCTION Due to the recent advances made in power electronics and in data processing, electrical machines are more and more used in many industrial fields substituting mechanical, pneumatic or hydraulic actuators. Therefore, the control of electrical machines is since few years an important research area since they can be considered as fast processes and they are also submitted to plant parameter changes. In this way, the first type of electrical machine that has been widely used in industry was the dc machine since it is really easy to control separately flux and torque. Nevertheless, the main drawbacks of dc machines are that they require maintenance operations and that they cannot be applied in corrosive or explosive environments. Then, with the field orientation control (FOC) theory birth, synchronous and induction machines have substituted the dc ones in the 80s first for constant speed applications, then for variable speed ones and now for positioning tasks. Indeed, FOC allows the decouplying between torque and flux components that is not natural with classical control schemes such as scalar control. However, the FOC scheme has to be associated with robust control laws for direct and quadratic inner
