Abstract :
AC motor drives are experiencing an exciting new impact in industrial automation applications as well as in research studies. Inherent advantages of adjustable frequency operation could not be fully exploited without adopting a suitable control strategy. The paper gives an overview of trends in advanced control techniques employed for torque, speed and position regulation of variable frequency drives. Estimation issues are also discussed. Fuzzy logic and neural network approaches are included showing how the rapid evolution of technology in various branches finds a natural field of application in modern electrical drives
