Abstract— Nowadays the control of stator voltage at a constant
frequency is one of the traditional and low expense methods in order
to control the speed of induction motors near its nominal speed. The
torque of induction motor is a nonlinear function of the firing angle,
phase angle and speed. In this paper the speed control of induction
motor regarding various load torque and under different conditions
will be investigated based on a fuzzy controller with inverse training.
Keywords— Three phase induction motor, AC converter, speed
control, fuzzy control.
I. INTRODUCTION
OLTAGE control at constant frequency is used
increasingly in order to speed controlling of a three phase
induction motor at low and medium powers especially when
the load torque is proportional to the square of motor speed
[1]. In this method the voltage of the stator is controlled
between zero and its maximum value by controlling the firing
angle of thyristors symmetrically. Although the speed control
of induction motors by means of variable voltage and constant
frequency seems to be simple but its needs to some complex
analysis. Two main problems will be encountered in analyzing
the behavior of induction motor by this method [2]:
1) The differential equation that describes the motor's
behavior is completely nonlinear.
2) Determination of initial and bound conditions is very
difficult.
In this paper by applying a variable controlled voltage
through a three phase chopper upon the circuit's model of
induction motor, the instant and effective values of currents
and voltages are computed. It will be depicted that the torque
of such a motor in the steady state is a nonlinear function of
firing angle, phase angle and rotation speed. Hence achieving
the produced torque for a specific firing angle and speed
depends on solving nonlinear equation and calculating
complex integrals that are time consuming and complicated.
This problem appears when it is required to control the speed
of the motor due to variation of load torque, by adjusting the
firing angle of thyristor.
In the proposed method, in this paper, the induction motor
plus to AC converter is considered as a nonlinear system that
receives the firing angle and load torque as inputs and
produces the speed as output. The proposed fuzzy controller
indeed will be an inverse fuzzy model of the thyristorized
induction motor with torque and speed as its inputs and the
firing angle as its output.
II. MODELING
In most of studies, the system of thyristorized induction
motor is considered as shown in Fig. 1 [1].
Fig. 1: The model of induction motor-AC converter.
In this system, ignoring the effect of saturation and core
dissipation, it is possible to consider the induction motor as a
linear circuit. In such case the equivalent circuit is considered
as R-L load [2]. Fig. 2 depicts the single phase equivalent
circuit of such system.
