Comparative study between Sliding mode controller and Fuzzy Sliding mode controller in a speed control for doubly fed induction motor

Abstract

This paper presents a comparison between a Sliding mode controller and Fuzzy Sliding mode controller in a speed control for doubly fed induction motor, The fuzzy sliding mode controller is designed in order to improve the control performances and to reduce the chattering phenomenon. In this technique the saturation function is replaced by a fuzzy inference system to smooth the control action. The proposed scheme gives fast dynamic response with no overshoot and zero static error. To show the validity and the effectiveness of the control method, Simulation results showed that improvement made by our approach compared to conventional sliding mode control (SMC) with the presence of variations of the parameters of the motor, in particular the face of variation of moment of inertia and disturbances of load torque. The results show that the FSMC and SMC are robust against internal and external perturbations, but the FSMC is superior to SMC in eliminating chattering phenomena and response time.
