Induction motors are the most important workhorses in industry.
They are mostly used as constant-speed drives when fed from a
voltage source of fixed frequency. Advent of advanced power
electronic converters and powerful digital signal processors,
however, has made possible the development of high performance,
adjustable speed AC motor drives.
This book aims to explore new areas of induction motor control
based on artificial intelligence (AI) techniques in order to make
the controller less sensitive to parameter changes. Selected AI
techniques are applied for different induction motor control
strategies. The book presents a practical computer simulation model
of the induction motor that could be used for studying various
induction motor drive operations. The control strategies explored
include expert-system-based acceleration control, hybrid-fuzzy/PI
two-stage control, neural-network-based direct self control, and
genetic algorithm based extended Kalman filter for rotor speed
estimation. There are also chapters on neural-network-based
parameter estimation, genetic-algorithm-based optimized random PWM
strategy, and experimental investigations. A chapter is provided as
a primer for readers to get started with simulation studies on
various AI techniques.Presents major artificial intelligence
