Type-1 and type-2 fuzzy logic-based space vector modulation for two-level inverter fed induction motor

Abstract

Two-level inverter control with type-1 and type-2 fuzzy logic-based space vector pulse-width modulation (PWM) method for induction motor drive (IMD) is presented in this paper. A new sampling time independent strategy with type-1 and type-2 fuzzy based methods are used in generating three phase duty ratios which are directly obtained without mathematical equations. The conventional method of space vector modulation (SVM) produces the duty ratios for the inverter which are sampling time dependent. However, in type-1 and type-2 fuzzy based space vector PWM algorithms, the three phases duty ratios generated are sampling time independent and with a new integrated dead-time insertion in SVM itself, can be implemented practically for any switching frequency. As the rule-base for Mamdani non-singleton interval type-1 and type-2 fuzzy inference systems are designed manually, with the expert knowledge of conventional space vector PWM, the duty ratios of the inverter are generated such that the performance of the IMD is improved. The simulation studies for aforementioned cases is performed in matrix laboratory (MATLAB) and experimental validation for the proposed space vector PWM algorithms is validated using real-time sacraetheologiae magister (STM) hardware with STM32F429I Cortex M4 processor for a 1 hp IMD.
