Though induetion motors have a few advantageous characteristics, they possess nonlinear and time-varying dynamio interactions. Using conventional PI controller, it is very difficult and complex. to design @ high performance induction motor drive ‘The fuzzy logic controller is attractive approach, which can accommodate the motor parameiric variations and difficulty in obtaining an accurate mathematical model of induction motor due to rotor parameter and load time constant variations, Tn order to have fast transient response, the controller must have the robustness against speed variations and extemal perturbations. The fuzzy logic is applied to optimize the PI conteoller gains which designed to optimize the step response of the system, ‘In this study, we describe the speed control strategies of an IRFOC for IM. Next, with help of the Matlaby Simulink, we propose the F-PI controller, which is suitable for speed control without mechanical sensors, an observer is used for predict the load torque and speed, Finally, we compare the F-PI simulation results to conventional proportional-plus integral controller. The simulation results validate the robustness and reliable of the proposed F-PI controller for high performance of inchiction motor dive, ‘THREE LEVEL VOLTAGE INVERTER As for the two level voliage inverters, we ean produce a three-phase three level voltage inverter in complete bridge by assembling three hal-bridges using common capacitive divider (Fig. 1).

FIELD ORIENTED CONTROL STRUCTURE A block diagram for an IRFOC can be seen on Fig. 3. This design uses a more robust structure fnown as Indirect Rotor Field Oriented Control, meaning that the rotor angle isn’t determined directly by measuring the air gap flux with halleffact sensors. These sensors are not particularly suited for use in ergo industrial motors as they oan be fragile and sensitive fo temperature change (Abed ef al, 2006 bs; Rajashekara eral, 1986). ‘The dynamic model of an induction motor ean be represented according to usual d-q axes components in asynchronous rotating frame as follows Where.
