Speed Control of Induction Motor Based on Model Reference Adaptive Control

In recent years, adaptive and intelligent control schemes have begun to take the place of conventional control methods. In this study, a model reference adaptive control (MRAC) scheme based on genetic algorithm (GA) and Fuzzy Logic (FL) has been used by the help of Vector Control type driving method based on Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM). In this control technique, the conventional PI controller and the proposed control strategy has been applied to induction motor in real conditions by using an appropriate digital signal processor and peripheral units. As digital processor, DSPIC 30F6010 which is produced by Microchip Co. has been used. Experimental studies have been implemented for both of the control techniques under the same conditions. The results obtained from conventional PI controller and the proposed control strategy have been analysed and compared.
