description Multi-phase motors have recently replaced three-phase induction motors in a variety of applications due to the numerous benefits they provide, and the absence of speed sensors promotes induction motors with variable speed drives. Sensorless speed control minimizes unnecessary speed encoder cost, reduces maintenance, and improves the motor drive’s reliability. The performance comparison of the fuzzy sliding mode controller (FSMC) with adaptive fuzzy proportional integral derivative (AFPID) control methods for sensorless speed control of six-phase induction motors was analyzed in this study, and the proposed control system has an advantage for multiphase machines, specifically six-phase induction motors (IMs) in this study, as they are the current active research area for electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, aerospace, ship propulsion, and high-power applications. The speed control of a six-phase induction motor was performed by using an AFPID controller and FSMC. The comparative performance analysis was based on sensorless speed control of the six-phase induction motor. A proportional integral derivative (PID) controller is commonly employed as it is used to eliminate oscillations, but it has several drawbacks, such as taking a long time to decrease the error and stabilize the system at constant speed. The fuzzy type-2 and PID controllers were hybridized so as to obtain the advantages of both to enhance the system performance. Finally, the comparison result revealed that the FSMC preforms significantly better by achieving good tracking performance. The control technique maintains the sliding mode approach’s robustness while providing reduced overshoots with a smooth control action, and the FSMC revealed good dynamic response under load variations when compared to the AFPID controller.
