Abstract

This study addresses the limitations of traditional Model Reference Adaptive Systems (MRAS) in sensorless induction motor (IM) control, particularly the degraded performance at low speeds and under dynamic load conditions. The main objective is to enhance speed and torque estimation accuracy by replacing the classical proportional-integral (PI) adaptation mechanism with an adaptive neuro-fuzzy architecture. The research contribution lies in developing and experimentally validating two intelligent adaptation schemes: one based on fuzzy logic and another combining fuzzy inference with a recurrent neural network (RNN) within a sensorless field-oriented control (FOC) framework. The proposed system integrates a fuzzy logic-based estimator and an RNN-driven torque predictor to improve tracking precision and robustness. Real-time implementation was carried out on a 1.1 kilowatt, 1430 revolutions per minute induction motor using a dSPACE DS1104 platform. Comparative experiments were conducted under two challenging benchmark profiles that include load disturbances, parameter mismatches, and full-speed reversals. Results showed that the hybrid neuro-fuzzy controller reduced the steady-state speed error by 91 %, from 0.65 rad/s to 0.08 rad/s, and improved torque estimation accuracy by 42%, reducing SMAPE from 45.2 % to 26.3 %, compared to the PI-based MRAS. It also outperformed the standalone fuzzy and neural MRAS controllers in rise time, tracking error, overshoot suppression, and adaptation quality. These findings confirm that the proposed method provides improved estimation fidelity, enhanced control robustness, and reliable sensorless operation suitable for real-time industrial applications. The study concludes that the integration of neuro-fuzzy intelligence into MRAS-based control structures offers a technically effective and scalable solution for advanced IM drives.

Abstract

Unlike conventional field oriented control methods, this paper presents a mathematically novel control strategy for induction motor drives, formulated using a two-loop nonlinear dynamic inversion (NDI) framework inspired by aeronautical control architectures. Sensorless operation is realized with a conventional rotor flux observer, while several additional enhancements are introduced to raise overall performance. In particular, a real time radial basis function (RBF) neural network is systematically embedded in a model reference adaptive system (MRAS), replacing the traditional PI adaptation loop with an online training mechanism that improves speed estimation accuracy under parameter variations and load disturbances. The single layer RBF network is trained by gradient descent and incorporated into the nonlinear observer without compromising closed loop stability. The complete controller was implemented on a 1.1 kW, 1430 rpm induction motor using a dSPACE DS1104 real time platform. Experimental results show clear superiority over classical FOC as well as DTSFC and DTRFC schemes, achieving the lowest measured flux ripple (0.002 Wb), minimal torque ripple (0.043 N·m), and the fastest torque response time (0.65 ms). The steady state speed error was reduced by 91 % (from 0.65 to 0.08 rad/s), settling times remained below 60 ms, and both RMSE and ISE metrics decreased appreciably across all tested conditions. Although the proposed design incurs moderate computational overhead, it is fully compatible with real time execution. Future work will examine scalability to high power drives, improved resilience to temperature induced parameter drift, and adaptation of the NDI based framework to permanent magnet machines.
