Performance Evaluation of Induction Motor Using Sliding Mode Fuzzyand Artificial Neural Network Controllers

Abstract

Economical and more practical means to limit the energy shortage is newline energy conservation , particularly for industrial consumers who account for more newlinethan 50 percent of the total energy utilization. Owing to the features of induction newlinemotors such as robustness, reliability, low price and maintenance free operation, they newlineare utilized widely in industrial sectors. The total electrical input cost of industries is newlinehighly influenced by induction motors. A small increment in efficiency of these motors newlineby providing enhanced control or optimal design can result in substantial drop in newlineenergy cost. newlineTechnological advancements in solid-state power electronics devices and newlinehigh computing capability digital controllers have made AC motor drive applications newlinesimpler. In this thesis Sliding Mode Controller (SMC) for energy efficiency of three newlinephase induction motor is investigated. SMC has been opted for applications like robot newlinemanipulators and tracking control systems newline
