Sensorless Speed Control of Induction Motors with Artificial Neural Networks

Abstract

Because Induction Motors (IM) are widely used in industrial areas, the control problem of these motors at different speeds has emerged. In this study, sensorless speed control of IM was performed with Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). Frequency-controlled scalar control method was utilized to control IM. Speed and torque data have been entered to ANN. Here, ANN provided to achieve the desired speed of the motor by estimating frequency. The results of the study conducted based on Matlab/Simulink examined and presented.
