| description | Vector control of an asynchronous machine is traditionally accomplished by analogizing it to a separately excited DC machine. It provides decoupled torque and flux control that is perpendicular to each other, ensuring that neither vector interferes with the other. So, despite their close interconnection, torque and speed control are accomplished separately. The rotor flux is aligned with the direct axis of the synchronously rotating reference frame to achieve this. The PI controllers are critical in achieving the variable frequency drive (VFD) desired topology. The system employs three types of controllers: flux, speed, and torque. The flux controller is easy to tune, but the speed and torque controllers are more difficult to tune because the speed controller's output is the torque controller’s reference signal. Furthermore, there is no well-defined method for tuning the controllers in a vector control system. However, perfect tuning is required for the machine’s better dynamic behavior. It is clear from the above analysis that system identification is critical for tuning PI controllers. However, as an asynchronous machine, obtaining a decoupled system transfer function is extremely difficult. To solve this problem, the proposed system combines a seven-level pulse width modulation (PWM) inverter for vector control of a three-phase asynchronous nonstandard induction machine used in critical applications in nuclear power plants with a sliding mode control technique that eliminates the complexity of PI tuning. A second-order sliding mode controller could be used in the future to reduce the chattering and parameter variation effects. This controller can be enhanced with fuzzy logic principles to make it more robust and reliable, allowing it to be used in future drive designs for high-rating motors with critical applications. |
