| Abstract: | Currently, asynchronous cage motors are among the most commonly requested machines accentuated by their extension to the field of electric vehicles. Therefore, the development of robust and sophisticated controls for this machine is of significant interest. Artificial intelligence control techniques, such as fuzzy logic, are at the forefront of recent research. However, their design becomes much more complicated for a motor via a multilevel inverter. The main purpose of this paper is to show that it is possible to achieve fuzzy logic control of a squirrel cage asynchronous motor supplied via the usual two-level inverter. This is achieved, by adopting a DTC strategy based on a sinusoidal PWM with multilevel inverter. It employs a feedback information estimator with dual structure between the sliding mode observer at low speed and the model reference adaptive system in sliding mode at high speed. For both installations, speed is regulated using a sliding mode controller. |
