Fuzzy Logic based control of the single phase induction motor without start-capacitor

This paper investigates the performance of a single-phase induction motor (SPIM) drive operated as two-phase motor (TPIM) and controlled basing on fuzzy logic (FL). Because of coupling behavior between fluxes in motor, it is still necessary to advance in controller tuning. The applied control strategy proposed in this paper is the vector control based on fuzzy controllers. The application of this control strategy to the single-phase motor operating as two-phase motor increases its dynamic performance and constitutes a contribution to the study of this machine. Indeed, this type of machine has not yet taken its whole share from various works present until now, compared to the three-phase induction machine. The performances of the proposed control; applied to the single-phase induction motor supplied by voltage source inverter; are investigated by simulations under different operating conditions. The obtained results; compared to the traditional control method based on conventional controllers (CC); show the effectiveness and stronger robustness of the control system.
