Seven-Level Direct Torque Control of Induction Motor Based on Artificial Neural Networks with Regulation Speed Using Fuzzy PI Controller

In this paper, the author proposes a sensorless direct torque control (DTC) of an induction motor (IM) fed by seven-level NPC inverter using artificial neural networks (ANN) and fuzzy logic controller. Fuzzy PI controller is used for controlling the rotor speed and ANN applied in switching select stator voltage. The control method proposed in this paper can reduce the torque, stator flux and total harmonic distortion (THD) value of stator current, and especially improve system good dynamic performance and robustness in high and low speeds.
