Evolved Design Of A Nonlinear Proportional Integral Derivative (Npid) Controller, Shubham Chopra Jan 2012

Evolved Design Of A Nonlinear Proportional Integral Derivative (Npid) Controller, Shubham Chopra

Dissertations and Theses

This research presents a solution to the problem of tuning a PID controller for a nonlinear system. Many systems in industrial applications use a PID controller to control a plant or the process. Conventional PID controllers work in linear systems but are less effective when the plant or the process is nonlinear because PID controllers cannot adapt the gain parameters as needed. In this research we design a Nonlinear PID (NPID) controller using a fuzzy logic system based on the Mamdani type Fuzzy Inference System to control three different DC motor systems. This fuzzy system is responsible for adapting the …


Broken Rotor Bar Fault Detection In Inverter-Fed Squirrel Cage Induction Motors Using Stator Current Analysis And Fuzzy Logic, Mehmet Akar, İlyas Çankaya Jan 2012

Broken Rotor Bar Fault Detection In Inverter-Fed Squirrel Cage Induction Motors Using Stator Current Analysis And Fuzzy Logic, Mehmet Akar, İlyas Çankaya

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper presents the implementation of broken rotor bar fault detection in an inverter-fed induction motor using motor current signal analysis (MCSA) and prognosis with fuzzy logic. Recently, inverter-fed induction motors have become very popular because of their adjustable speed drive. They have been used in many vital control applications such as rolling mills, variable speed compressors, pumps, and fans. The condition monitoring of these motors can significantly reduce the cost of maintenance in the early detection of faults. In this study, MCSA is applied to an inverter-fed induction motor to detect broken rotor bar faults. The diagnosis of a …


A Robust Adaptive Fuzzy Control Of A Unified Power Flow Controller, Sebaa Morsli, Allaoui Tayeb, Denai Mouloud, Chaker Abdelkader Jan 2012

A Robust Adaptive Fuzzy Control Of A Unified Power Flow Controller, Sebaa Morsli, Allaoui Tayeb, Denai Mouloud, Chaker Abdelkader

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper investigates the control of a unified power flow controller (UPFC) to improve the stability of a power system, hence providing security under increased power flow conditions. The proposed control methods include a direct proportional and integral (PI) controller and an adaptive fuzzy logic controller (AFLC). The performances of these controllers were evaluated under different operating conditions of the power system and the results demonstrated that PI and AFLC are very effective in improving the transient power system stability and very robust against variable transmission line parameters.
