Study of Indirect Vector Control Induction Motor Based on Takagi Sugeno Type Fuzzy Logic on Rotational Speed Control Primary Surveillance Radar

Abstract

During the rainy season and bad weather, strong winds blowing at an airport can cause dynamic changes in performance of the primary surveillance radar (PSR) antenna which is driven by an induction motor (IM). Changes in dynamic performance that occur in this IM can be in the form of changes in PSR rotation speed, changes in torque values, and changes in stator current values. In this article, we propose the application of the Takagi Sugeno method to fuzzy logic indirect vector control of IM as a solution that can reduce changes in the dynamic performance of motor as PSR drivers during bad weather. The contribution of this research is the application of the Takagi Sugeno method in a fuzzy inference system (FIS), where this fuzzy logic control system replaces the conventional proportional integral (PI) controller for indirect vector control IM. Takagi Sugeno method is computationally efficient and works well with optimization and adaptive techniques, which makes it very attractive in control problems, particularly for dynamic nonlinear systems. Takagi Sugeno type FIS uses weighted average to compute the crisp output, so the Sugeno’s output membership functions are either linear or constant. Furthermore, Takagi Sugeno method has better processing time since the weighted average replace the time consuming defuzzification process. The results obtained after simulation in MATLAB Simulink environment showed that fuzzy logic using the Takagi Sugeno method which is used as a substitute controller for indirect vector control can provide better performance when compared to conventional PI controllers. These results can be seen from the response values of rotor rotation speed, electromagnetic torque, and stator current. Overall, this research provides discourse on improving the dynamic performance of IM through the application of the Takagi Sugeno fuzzy logic indirect vector control method.
