Design of a Hybrid PID plus Fuzzy Controller for Speed Control of Induction Motors



ABSTRACT:
In this paper, a Ziegler-Nichols (Z-N) based PID plus fuzzy logic control (FLC) scheme is proposed for speed control of a direct field-oriented induction motor (DFOIM). The Z-N PID is adopted because its parameter values can be chosen using a simple and useful rule of thumb. The FLC is connected to the PID controller for enhancing robust performance in both dynamic transient and steady-state periods. The FLC is developed based on the output of the PID controller, and the output of the FLC is the torque command of the DFCIM. The complete closed-loop speed control scheme is implemented for the laboratory 0.14-hp squirrel-cage induction motor. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed Z-N PID+FLC scheme can lead to desirable robust speed tracking performance under load torque disturbances.

CONCLUSION:
In this paper, a novel hybrid modified Z-N PID+FLC-based speed control of a DFOIM has been presented. The proposed controller has exhibited the combined advantages of a PID controller and a FLC. Specifically, it can improve the stability, the transient response and load disturbance rejection of speed control of a DFOIM. The complete DFOIM drive incorporating the proposed controller has been implemented in real time using a MRC-6810 AD/DA servo control card for the Nikki Denso NA21-3F 0.14Hp induction motor. The fuzzy logic and only with three membership functions are used for each input and output for low computational burden, which can achieve satisfactory results. Simulation and experiment results have illustrated that the proposed controller scheme has a good and robust tracking performance. As suggested in [15] that a modified Z-N PID can perform better than a Z-N PID, our future effort will focus on how to further improve the performance of the proposed controller herein by incorporating a modified Z-N PID.
