Fuzzy Logic based Speed Control of a Six-Phase Series-Connected Two-Motor Drive System Feed from SVPWMVSI

Abstract

This paper presents a new topology for the control of a six-phase series-connectedtwo-motor drive system supplied from Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM)Voltage Source Inverter (VSI). The two-motordrive system consists of a six-phase and athree-phase induction motors connected in series. These motors and the supply system havebeen analyzed to construct a field-orientedmodel for them. This model clearly shows thepossibility of independent of control of the two machines. A fuzzy logic based speed controller has been constructed and used to drive the two-motor in this work . The two-motor system, inverter system, and the fuzzy controller models are implemented and tested using Simulink/Matlab facilities. The presented results show the validity of the model to dowell for the sake of speed control under different operating conditions.
