Adaptive Fuzzy PI-Sliding Mode Controller for Induction Motor Speed Control

Abstract

In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy PI-sliding mode control (AFPISMC) is proposed for induction motor (IM) speed control. First, an adaptive sliding-mode controller (APISMC) with a proportional plus integral equivalent control action is investigated, in which a simple adaptive algorithm is utilized for generalised soft-switching parameters. The proposed control design uses the fuzzy logic techniques to dynamically control parameter settings of the SMC equivalent control action. The theoretical analyses for the proposed fuzzy PI-sliding-mode controller are described in detail. Simulated results show that the proposed controller provides high-performance dynamic characteristics and is robust with regard to plant parameter variations and external load disturbance.
