Description

This paper describes the use of fuzzy logic techniques to control the speed of a three-phase induction motor. The use of Matlab/Simulink and fuzzyTECH MCU96 as software development tools for system design is emphasised. Hardware implementation is based on a standard 16/32-bit microcontroller, without the need of any additional components for the fuzzy logic controller. The system performance is evaluated in comparison with a traditional PI control scheme. Both simulation and experimental results are presented.
