Abstract

A hysteresis current controller (HCC) is commonly used in high-performance AC motor drives to control the current directly. Recently, the predictive current controller (PCC) is also used as an alternative to the classical current controller for speed and torque regulation of induction motor (IM) drives. However, PCC has drawbacks of large flux and torque ripples, large total harmonic distortions (THDs) in current and voltage and dependency on parameters. This paper proposes current control with artificial neural network (ANN) for a field-oriented controlled induction motor (FOCIM) drive. The ANN has input current error between the reference and the measured stator currents. The output function of neuron is a hyperbolic tan (or tan-sigmoid) function to apply error Levenberg–Marquardt (L–M) back propagation as learning rule because of its fast convergence. The proposed method is based on a new approach in which hysteresis band is replaced by ANN comparator to improve the performance of the FOCIM drive. It minimizes torque ripples, flux ripples, voltage and current THDs over the existing HCC and PCC methods. The superiority of the proposed method compared to existing methods is established by simulation and experimental results.
