This article describes a linearization-based model predictive intelligence control (MPIC) approach incorporated with a feedback linearization (FBL)-based direct torque and flux control (DTFC) of induction motor (IM) drive. This FBL DTFC with MPIC is employed here to analyze the dynamic performance of the IM drive and is compared with the conventional MPIC-based DTFC technique. The intuitive FBL approach develops the decoupled components of torque and flux. Hence, the specific intuitive linearized model-based DTFC-SVM not only preserves all advantages of DTFC but also improves the transient response with a reduced settling time of 30 to 40% along with a substantial reduction in torque and flux ripple by around 78% and 68%, respectively. However, the stability problem to design such a controller is a significant issue, and therefore, it is examined by estimating that the control law is monotonically converging with time. Hence, the proposed solution is highly justifiable and flexible. This proposed controller-based feedback linearized drive is modeled and its dynamic response and robust performance are analyzed by using MATLAB/SIMULINK software as well as extensive experimental results. It is observed from the experimental result that there is a significant improvement in torque and flux ripple of around 78% and 67%, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research paper introduces an outline of a simplified version of single-input neuro-fuzzy controller (NFC) method via a decoupling-controlled intuitive feedback linearization (FBL) approach of induction motor (IM) model. The proposed NFC with FBL extensively reduces the torque and speed ripple along with better performance enhancement. A simplified state-space feedback linearization technique-based nonlinear IM model is designed and simulated in the stationary reference frame. Again, the parameter and plant uncertainties in the feedback-linearized model of the IM are continuous phenomenon which led to the design of a robust, simplified NFC to overcome these issues in the real-time industrial application. The proposed reduced membership function (MF) based simplified NFC is the integration of fuzzy logic and neural network concept with single input as an error (speed and torque) unlike two inputs error and change in error of conventional NFC. This has the advantage of improving the computational efficiency due to its simple structure and robustness over conventional NFC. This makes the system easy and simple to implement in a realistic situation. The performance and effectiveness of the proposed method using FBL concept of IM drive is analyzed using MATLAB software in different modes of operation and is distinguished with the conventional PI-controller and conventional NFC to show its superiority. The proposed system with the different control strategies is also validated by extensive experimental results using DSP 2812. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article focuses on the design and implementation of a hybrid fuel cell supply system to deliver the power demanded by the feedback linearization (FBL) based induction motor (IM) drive. The proposed modified simple hybrid neuro-fuzzy sliding-mode control (NFSMC) with intuitive FBL substantially reduces torque chattering and improves speed response, giving optimal drive performance under system uncertainties and disturbances. This novel technique also has the benefit of reduced computational burdens by improving computational efficiency over conventional NFSMC and thus suitable for real-time industrial applications. The parameters of the modified neuro-fuzzy control are tuned by an adaptive mechanism based on sliding-mode control. A fuel cell stack with a dc/dc boost converter is considered here as a separate external source during interruption of main supply for maintaining the supply to the motor drive control through the inverter, thereby reducing the burden and average rating of the inverter. A rechargeable battery used as an energy storage supplements the fuel cell during different operating conditions of the drive system. The effectiveness of the proposed method using the fuel cell-based linearized IM drive is investigated in simulation, and the efficacy of the proposed controller is validated by experiment using DSP2812. It is evident from the results that the system provides optimal dynamic performance in terms of remarkably reduced torque ripple, good load disturbance rejection, and reduced speed settling time responses by around 92%, 50%, and 41%, respectively, compared to the PI-controller. The system is also robust in terms of parameter variation and external load. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
