Abstract: This lecture focuses on the methods and techniques of speed control for the electric motors nowadays. Classical methods are shown as the most advanced methods for controlling the electrical motors. Intelligent control techniques such as, Fuzzy Logic and Optimized Fuzzy Logic Controller, are sufficiently robust and valid, starting with its ability to deal with disturbance in the control of various processes; in particular, with the speed control of induction motors and DC motors.
This lecture addresses the application of fuzzy logic control as a technique to be applied to electrical machines and control drives. Our main goal is to improve the speed characteristics and their recovery when load change in the motor, also called load disturbances.
Two examples of control are shown:
1. Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) design procedure for a DC motor servo-drive system.
2. Speed controller with genetic algorithm and fuzzy logic techniques based on the mathematical models of the motor and the drive was developed, along with its simulations.
