This paper presents the speed performance analysis of indirect Field Oriented Control (FOC) induction motor drive by applying Proportional Integral (PI) controller, PI with Anti-Windup (PIAW) and Pre- Filter (PF). The objective of this experiment is to have quantitative comparison between the controller strategies towards the performance of the motor in term of speed tracking and load rejection capability in low, medium and rated speed operation. In the first part, PI controller is applied to the FOC induction motor drive which the gain is obtained based on determined Induction Motor (IM) motor parameters. Secondly an AWPI strategy is added to the outer loop and finally, PF is added to the system. The Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) technique is used to control the voltage source inverter and complete vector control scheme of the IM drive is tested by using a DSpace 1103 controller board. The analysis of the results shows that, the PI and AWPI controller schemes produce similar performance at low speed operation. However, for the medium and rated speed operation the AWPI scheme shown significant improvement in reducing the overshoot problem and improving the setting time. The PF scheme on the other hand, produces a slower speed and torque response for all tested speed operation. All schemes show similar performance for load disturbance rejection capability.
Speed controller design for three-phase induction motor based on dynamic ad...IJECEIAES
Three-phase induction motor (TIM) is widely used in industrial application like paper mills, water treatment and sewage plants in the urban area. In these applications, the speed of TIM is very important that should be not varying with applied load torque. In this study, direct on line (DOL) motor starting without controller is modelled to evaluate the motor response when connected directly to main supply. Conventional PI controller for stator direct current and stator quadrature current of induction motor are designed as an inner loop controller as well as a second conventional PI controller is designed in the outer loop for controlling the TIM speed. Proposed combined PI-lead (CPIL) controllers for inner and outer loops are designed to improve the overall performance of the TIM as compared with the conventional controller. In this paper, dynamic adjustment grasshopper optimization algorithm (DAGOA) is proposed for tuning the proposed controller of the system. Numerical results based on well-selected test function demonstrate that DAGOA has a better performance in terms of speed of convergence, solution accuracy and reliability than SGOA. The study results revealed that the currents and speed of TIM system using CPIL-DAGOA are faster than system using conventional PI and CPIL controllers tuned by SGOA. Moreover, the speed controller of TIM system with CPIL controlling scheme based on DAGOA reached the steady state faster than others when applied load torque.
This document compares the switching behaviors of field oriented control (FOC) and direct torque control (DTC) for induction motors. Experimental tests using a dSpace 1103 controller board show that under no load conditions, FOC produces less torque ripple than DTC. However, the switching frequency of the inverter for a FOC controlled motor is about 75% higher than for a DTC controlled motor. Therefore, DTC may be preferable when fast dynamic performance is critical, while FOC provides better torque quality.

The speed estimation technique of induction machines has become a non-trivial task. For estimating the speed of an induction motor precisely and accurately an optimum state estimator is necessary. This paper deals with the performance analysis of induction motor drives using a recursive, optimum state estimator. This technique uses a full order state space Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) model where the rotor flux, rotor speed and stator currents are estimated. A major challenge with induction motor occurs at very low and at near zero speed. In such cases, information about the rotor parameters with respect to stator side become unobservable while using the synchronously rotating reference frame. To overcome this lost coupling effect, EKF observer linearizes the non-linear parameter in every sampling period and estimates the states and machine parameters simultaneously. The proposed algorithm is tuned to obtain least error in estimated speed. Any error found is further optimized using a non-linear fuzzy controller to obtain improved performance of the drive.

This paper presents the design of the modified sliding mode controller (MSMC) for the purpose of tracking the nonlinear system with mismatched disturbance. Provided that the performance of the designed controller depends on the value of control parameters, gravitational search algorithm (GSA), and particle swarm optimization (PSO) techniques are used to optimize these parameters in order to achieve a predefined system’s performance. In respect of system’s performance, it is evaluated based on the tracking error present between reference inputs transferred to the system and the system output. This is followed by verification of the efficiency of the designed controller in simulation environment under various values, with and without the inclusion of external disturbance. It can be seen from the simulation results that the MSMC with PSO exhibits a better performance in comparison to the performance of the similar controller with GSA in terms of output response and tracking error.
Estimation of motor inertia and friction components is a complex and challenging task in motion control applications where small size DC motors (<100W) are used for precise control. It is essential to estimate the accurate friction components and motor inertia, because the parameters provided by the manufacturer are not always accurate. This research proposes a Sensorless method of determining DC motor parameters, including moment of inertia, torque coefficient and frictional components using the Disturbance Observer (DOB) as a torque sensor. The constant velocity motion test and a novel Reverse Motion Acceleration test were conducted to estimate frictional components and moment of inertia of the motor. The validity of the proposed novel method was verified by experimental results and compared with conventional acceleration and deceleration motion tests. Experiments have been carried out to show the effectiveness and viability of the estimated parameters using a Reaction Torque Observer (RTOB) based friction compensation method.

PI controller design for indirect vector controlled induction motorISA Interchange
Decoupling of the stator currents is important for smoother torque response of indirect vector controlled induction motors. Typically, feedforward decoupling is used to take care of current coupling that requires exact knowledge of motor parameters, additional circuitry and signal processing. In this paper, a method is proposed to design the regulating proportional-integral gains that minimize coupling without any requirement of the additional decoupler. The variation of the coupling terms for change in load torque is considered as the performance measure. An iterative linear matrix inequality based H∞ control design approach is used to obtain the controller gains. A comparison between the feedforward and the proposed decoupling schemes is presented through simulation and experimental results. The results show that the proposed scheme is simple yet effective even without additional block or burden on signal processing.

This paper presents the design of the modified sliding mode controller (MSMC) for the purpose of tracking the nonlinear system with mismatched disturbance. Provided that the performance of the designed controller depends on the value of control parameters, gravitational search algorithm (GSA), and particle swarm optimization (PSO) techniques are used to optimize these parameters in order to achieve a predefined system’s performance. In respect of system’s performance, it is evaluated based on the tracking error present between reference inputs transferred to the system and the system output. This is followed by verification of the efficiency of the designed controller in simulation environment under various values, with and without the inclusion of external disturbance. It can be seen from the simulation results that the MSMC with PSO exhibits a better performance in comparison to the performance of the similar controller with GSA in terms of output response and tracking error.
Estimation of motor inertia and friction components is a complex and challenging task in motion control applications where small size DC motors (<100W) are used for precise control. It is essential to estimate the accurate friction components and motor inertia, because the parameters provided by the manufacturer are not always accurate. This research proposes a Sensorless method of determining DC motor parameters, including moment of inertia, torque coefficient and frictional components using the Disturbance Observer (DOB) as a torque sensor. The constant velocity motion test and a novel Reverse Motion Acceleration test were conducted to estimate frictional components and moment of inertia of the motor. The validity of the proposed novel method was verified by experimental results and compared with conventional acceleration and deceleration motion tests. Experiments have been carried out to show the effectiveness and viability of the estimated parameters using a Reaction Torque Observer (RTOB) based friction compensation method.

PI controller design for indirect vector controlled induction motorISA Interchange
Decoupling of the stator currents is important for smoother torque response of indirect vector controlled induction motors. Typically, feedforward decoupling is used to take care of current coupling that requires exact knowledge of motor parameters, additional circuitry and signal processing. In this paper, a method is proposed to design the regulating proportional-integral gains that minimize coupling without any requirement of the additional decoupler. The variation of the coupling terms for change in load torque is considered as the performance measure. An iterative linear matrix inequality based H∞ control design approach is used to obtain the controller gains. A comparison between the feedforward and the proposed decoupling schemes is presented through simulation and experimental results. The results show that the proposed scheme is simple yet effective even without additional block or burden on signal processing.

This paper presents a new Piecewise Affine Proportional-Integral (PA-PI) controller for angular velocity tracking of a buck converter generated dc motor. A Safe Experimentation Dynamics (SED) algorithm is employed as a data-driven optimization tool to find the optimal PA-PI controller parameters such that the integral square of error and input are reduced.

Moreover, the proposed PA function is expected to provide better control accuracy than the other existing variable structure PID controller. In order to verify the effectiveness of the PA-PI controller, a widely known buck converter generated dc motor is considered. The performances of the proposed controller are observed in terms of the integral square of error and input, and the responses of the angular velocity and duty ration input. The simulation results verify that the proposed PA-PI controller yields higher control accuracy than the other existing controllers of buck converter generated dc motor.

Wind Energy has received great attention in this century. It influences the new power systems, adding new challenges to the power system expansion problem. Nowadays, double feed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbines are used majorly in wind farms, due to their advantages over other types. Therefore, the analysis of the system using this type has become very important.

Modified Distribution Transformer for Enhancing Power Quality in Distribution...IAES-IJPEDS
The percentage of non-linear loads in the power distribution sector is increasing
day by day. Harmonics injected by these non-linear loads circulate in the delta
windings of the conventional distribution transformer thereby increasing the
temperature and losses. This reduces the efficiency and life of the transformers.
In a modified distribution transformer configuration proposed recently, called
star-star-delta_utilized configuration (YYD_utilized), the harmonics circulating
in the delta winding was utilized and the drainage power thus recovered was
used to power auxiliary loads. This paper presents the experimental studies
conducted on YYD_utilized distribution transformer. When compared to
conventional star-star, delta-star and star-star-delta transformers, the new
configuration of YYD_utilized transformer has shown considerable
improvement in transformer efficiency. The results obtained show that when
the power from the circulating harmonics is recovered and utilized, it not only
improves transformer efficiency but also improves the power factor
and reduces the harmonic distortions at the primary side of the transformer.
The results obtained also suggest the existence of maximum power point or an
optimum loading for the recovered harmonic power.

Enhanced Crowbar Protection for Fault Ride through Capability of Wind Generat...IAES-IJPEDS
Due to increasing demand in power, the integration of renewable sources like
wind generation into power system is gaining much importance nowadays.
The heavy penetration of wind power into the power system leads to many
integration issues mainly due to the intermittent nature of the wind and the
desirability for variable speed operation of the generators. As the wind power
generation depends on the wind speed, its integration into the grid has
noticeable influence on the system stability and becomes an important issue
especially when a fault occurs on the grid. The protective disconnection of a
large amount of wind power during a fault will be an unacceptable
consequence and threatens the power system stability. With the increasing
use of wind turbines employing Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG)
technology, it becomes a necessity to investigate their behavior during grid
faults and support them with fault ride through capability. This paper
presents the modeling and simulation of a doubly fed induction generator
according to grid code compatibility driven by a wind turbine connected to
the grid. This paper analyses the voltage sag due to a three-phase fault in the
wind connected grid. A control strategy including a crowbar circuit has been
developed in MATLAB/SIMULINK to bypass the rotor over currents during
grid fault to enhance the fault ride through capability and to maintain system
stability. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed control
strategies in DFIG based grid connected wind turbine system.

An Adaptive Virtual Impedance Based Droop Control Scheme for Parallel Inverte...IAES-IJPEDS
This document presents an adaptive virtual impedance based droop control scheme for parallel inverters in a microgrid. The scheme uses an impedance estimator to monitor changes in line impedances between inverters and the point of common coupling. It estimates the line impedance in real time using output voltages and currents of the inverters as well as voltages at the point of common coupling. The estimated line impedance is then fed into a virtual impedance loop to adjust the virtual impedance value and compensate for reactive power mismatches due to changing line impedances, improving power sharing performance. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive scheme compared to conventional control methods.
Open-Switch Fault-Tolerant Control of Power Converters in a Grid-Connected Ph...IAES-IJPEDS
This paper presents the study of an open switch fault tolerant control of a
grid-connected photovoltaic system. The studied system is based on the
classical DC-DC boost converter and a bidirectional 6-pulse DC-AC
converter. The objective is to provide an open-switch fault detection method
and fault-tolerant control for both of boost converter and grid-side converter
(GSC) in a grid-connected photovoltaic system. A fast fault detection method
and a reliable fault-tolerant topology are required to ensure continuity of
service, and achieve a faster corrective maintenance. In this work, the mean
value of the error voltages is used as fault indicator for the GSC, while, for
the boost converter the inductor current form is used as fault indicator. The
fault-tolerant topology was achieved by adding one redundant switch to the
boost converter, and by adding one redundant leg to the GSC. The results of
the fault tolerant control are presented and discussed to validate the proposed
approach under different scenarios and different solar irradiances.

Single-Phase Multilevel Inverter with Simpler Basic Unit Cells for Photovolta...IAES-IJPEDS
This paper presents a single-phase multilevel inverter (MLI) with simpler
basic unit cells. The proposed MLI is able to operate in two modes, i.e.
charge mode to charge the batteries, and inverter mode to supply AC power
to load, and therefore, it is inherently suitable for photovoltaic (PV) power
generation applications. The proposed MLI requires lower number of power
MOSFETs and gate driver units, which will translate into higher cost saving
and better system reliability. The power MOSFETs in the basic unit cells
and H-bridge module are switched at near fundamental frequency, i.e. 100
Hz and 50 Hz, respectively, resulting in lower switching losses. For low total
harmonic distortion (THD) operation, a deep scanning method is employed
to calculate the switching angles of the MLI. The lowest THD obtained is
8.91% at modulation index of 0.82. The performance of the proposed MLI
(9-level) has been simulated and evaluated experimentally. The simulation
and experimental results are in good agreement and this confirms that the
proposed MLI is able to produce an AC output voltage with low THD.

This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages.

The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

of process control is required and even that will not ensure the best control performance [2], [3], [8]-[10]. On
the other hand, the general second order method offers simpler technique and more mathematical formulation
approached method. Thus, this method had been applied in getting all the PI values for the analysis in this
paper.
Indirect FOC method itself faced a problem with parameter variation caused by the motor heating
phenomenon and saturation [11]. This variation causes detuning problem in the decoupling operation and
produce errors in the motor output values. Thus, a robust controller designed is necessary to adapt with the
parameter variations and decoupling operation. In addition, it able to produce robust solution by applying the
integral of time multiplied by the absolute of the error (ITAE) criterion method [2], [10]. Conventional or
linear PI controller does not have output magnitude limiters, which could cause damage to the real system
due to relatively large output value. Introducing integrator limiter and saturation limiter provide some
protection to the system. However, this saturation limiter accumulates error, thus producing large overshoot,
slow settling time and sometimes instability to the system [3], [4], [12]-[15]. Thus, PI controller with anti
wind up was introduced. There are several Anti-Windup PI controllers to solve this wind up phenomenon
such as AWPI with dead zone, AWPI condition, AWPI with tracking and many more. Most of the papers
discuss on the anti wind up scheme in solving wind up phenomenon issue and its improvement. Based on the
comparative study on the anti windup strategies, the AWPI condition technique found to be the most suitable
for usual application due to the performance results, simple structure and less parameter controlled[3]-[4],
[12]-[13], [16]. Most of the papers discussed only on the PI and Anti-windup performance at rated speed
range. In this paper, the PF analysis is added in the analysis in various speed range demands. The pre filter
scheme is able to get rid the unwanted zero in the closed loop system [3], [10].
In this project, the PI controller design is adopted based on the second order system design which
has a simpler technique and direct mathematical formulation in comparison to the classical gain tuning
method or symmetric optimum criterion[3], [9]-[10], [17]. The performance results of motor behaviors under
wide speed range operation and load disturbance are analyzed based on the PI, Anti-Windup and Pre-Filter
techniques. As far as the authors' knowledge, no work has been reported on analyzing the speed control
motor performance based on this three control techniques together in different speed demand ranged
quantitatively.

The FOC is composed of two inner current loops for flux and torque control. The outer speed loop is
cascaded with the torque current loop. The output of this current loop regulate are transformed into stationary
reference frame voltage by dq to αβ transformation. Then, these reference voltages are fed to SVPWM
modulation process to generate pulse with modulation signal for inverter.
3. CONTROLLER DESIGN
Based on the mathematical model of the three phase IM, all the current loop and speed of PI
controller are calculated by using a second order system for a step input. All the values for proportional (Kp)

system with the close loop block diagram transfer function.

3.2. PI Controller with Anti-Wind Up Scheme
The main objective of the AW scheme is to avoid the over value or saturation value in integrator
which causes high overshoot and long settling time. Large step change or large external load disturbance
applied causes the PI controller saturate. This windup phenomenon results in inconsistency between the real
plant input and the controller output. In order to overcome the wind up problem, the integral state is
separately controlled [4], [15], [18]. Thus, additional integral control in added to justified on the PI controller
output is saturated or not based on the anti-windup structure in Figure 5.

is used to measure the shaft speed which has 500 pulses per revolution. For this test, the motor is required to
operate at three different conditions which are standstill, forward direction and reverse direction at 500rpm,
1000rpm and 1400rpm operating speed. Every test is repeated for three times with different controllers'
schemes. The first test is conducted using conventional proportional controller (PI) controller with limiters.
Proportional controller with anti windup (AWPI) scheme for speed controller is applied for the second test
condition. Then, the pre filter (PF) is added in cascade with the speed loop for the final experimental test.
Figure 7 shows the speed responses at 500rpm, 1000rpm and 1400rpm. The motor is required to
operate from standstill to forward direction at 0.975s and reverse it direction at 4.226s. Based on the results,
the motor tracks the command speed with almost zero speed error during steady state condition for all
controllers. However, different transcient behaviours are notified such as rise time, percent overshoot and
settling time. The details performance results from zero speed to forward direction are shown in Table 3

Based on the results, the AWPI and PI controller produced almost similar time rise response, Tr.
Meanwhile, PF controller produces slower rise time response as well as the settling time. For the forward and
reverse operations at 1400rpm demand, PI controller scheme recorded the highest percent overshoot with
18.3% and 35.64% respectively. No overshoot results from the pre filter controller for the demands changed.
Meanwhile, the AWPI produce lower overshoot for those conditions at 5.0% and 3.71% respectively. The
best characteristic of AWPI controller is it capabilities to produce lower percent overshoot while maintaining
the rise time and improving the setting time. From the AWPI controller performance results, by increasing
the speed range demand, the percent overshoot parameter is reduced compared to the conventional PI
controller. In PI controller, a large step speed demand reference cause the output of the speed controller
reaches the saturate limit of current, Iq. This anti-wind up phenomenon can be controlled by the AWPI
scheme. The AWPI scheme control the integral parts from keep up integrating the error and the controller
output from increased. The details analysis of the integral stage behaviors in PI and AWPI are explained
based on the simulation results below.
Figure 8. Simulation result comparing torque current response using PI and AWPI
Figure 8 shows the simulation results of current torque components response which compares
between conventional PI and AWPI when a step function demand is applied from zero speed to 1400rpm in
forward and reverse direction. Similar parameters, controllers and speed demand are used in this simulation
and experiment. In the conventional PI scheme, the integral state becomes large at the start of linear region
because it accumulates the speed error, even in saturation region. Thus, it produces excessive integral state
results in a large overshoot. Meanwhile in the AWPI the integral state work only when the input and output
saturation different is varnished. Therefore, it is able to reduce overshoot significantly and also maintains the
rise time response, Tr results as PI controller. The speed control performance is much improved by AWPI
scheme with regards to the large speed change.

Figure 9. (a) Simulation result comparing torque current response using PI at 1000rpm and 1400rpm
demand; (b) Reference step input demand and pre filter output demand
Figure 9(a) show the simulation results comparing torque current components for PI controller at
1000rpm and 1400rpm demand. During forward operation, the integral state output is 2.85A and 5A for
1000rpm and 1400rpm respectively. These results 14.3% and 18.3% of speed percent overshoot respectively.
It means that, the higher changed of speed demand produce higher overshoot. However, during reverse
operation, the percent of overshoot became 43.4% and 35.64% for 2000rpm and 2800rpm speed changed

respectively. This result was affected by integral limiter integral limiter which is set at 10A. The integral state
output is clamp at 10A for negative 1400rpm speed from 4.3s until 4.55s. This action, control the Iq reference
demand from producing higher overshoot compared to negative 1000rpm demand change. As a result, lower
percent overshoot with higher speed demand changes happened. The interesting part of the pre filter
controller is it capabilities to maintain zero overshoot for all the speed demand range. Figure 9(b) shows the
simulation comparison between step input reference and speed reference after the pre-filter process used as
the reference signal in PF scheme. Due to the negative exponential speed reference demand by adding the PF,
slower speed response results for PF scheme. This situation happened to all the step reference range demand
and results no overshoot results but slower speed response.
Figure 10 show the torque current component, Iq and phase A current, Ia experiment results of the
step response demands. From the stand still condition, the motor operated at 1400rpm in forward direction to
1400rpm reverse operation. Based on the result, almost similar torque current, Iq performance can be notify
for PI and AWPI scheme. The torque current reach limited 10A set at the speed controller tremendously. PF
scheme produce slower torque current response and only reach 4A amplitude during forward speed
command. This also results in slower speed response of PF scheme. The similar results effect can be seen for
the phase a stator current, Ia.

4.2. Operation under Load Condition
The load rejection capabilities of the design were investigated with the nominal load disturbance
applied during rated speed operation as shown in Figure 11. The load disturbance operation is accomplished
by using a DC machine attached with the load bank. The armature terminals of the permanent magnet DC
machine are connected to the resistor bank. The external resistor of the DC machines is set to produce rated
current load of IM. The motor is operated at 1400rpm and sudden rated load disturbance is applied at 2.5s.
From the results, the speed dropped about 180rpm and recover from the undershoot situation within 1s for the
entire schemes. It proven that, all the schemes has same capability of load disturbance rejection during rated
load. However, the speed change is not large enough to turn-on the saturation condition of the anti-windup
system.

5. CONCLUSION
This paper presents the speed performance analysis of IFOC performance results between PI, AWPI
and PF scheme control at low, medium and rated speed demand. All the three PI controller design are using
second order system design approach. From the analysis, the AWPI is able to reduce overshoot problem by
controlling the integral parts from keep up integrating the error at a set predetermine limiter. The result is
more significant especially in term of percent overshoot reduction at the higher speed range demand. In
addition, this great scheme is able to maintain the rise time and improving the setting time compared to the PI
scheme. Meanwhile, PF scheme results slower speed and torque response performances. However, the PF is
able to produce pure second order system in all speed range demands. It is able to get zero overshoot
response with reasonable settling time response. Finally, for the load disturbance rejection ability, all
schemes show similar performance capability to withstand the rated load disturbance.
