This study presents a genetic algorithm-based method for optimizing control parameters in fluid power systems. Genetic algorithms are general-purpose optimization methods based on natural evolution and genetics. A genetic algorithm seeks control parameters maximizing a measure that evaluates system performance. Five control gains of the PID-PD cascade controller fr an electrohydraulic speed control system with a variable displacement hydraulic motor are optimized using a genetic algorithm in the experiment. Optimized gains are confirmed by inspecting the fitness distribution which represents system performance in gain spaces. It is shown that optimization of the five gains by manual tuning should be a task of great difficulty and that a genetic algorithm is an efficient scheme giving economy of time and in labor in optimizing control parameters of fluid power systems.

The idea of expert control is to incoporate a rule based expert system in a feedback control system. In this paper, we present some heuristic rules about input requlation and supervision and turning for D.C servo motor speed control in variable. The expert auto-turning PID controller which heuristic rules are used as an element of the feedback control system is implemented with the numerical algorithms and heuristic logics. The accurate control function is confirmed by computer simulation.

In this paper, an advanced PWM modulation strategy for driving a variable-speed induction motor is introduced. According to this method, the technique of efficiently eliminating harmonics component is achived. A switching pattern was computed making use of the near-proportionality of voltage and frequency in AC machines operating with constant flux. At low magnitudes and low frequencies of the foundamental, many more harmonics are eliminated than at high magnitudes and frequencies. In order to keep the inverter switching frequency constant over the output frequency range, chopping times diminishes as the frequency of the fundamental increases.

According to the operating characteristics of pump applications, they should exhibit high efficiency and energy saving capabilities throughout the whole operating process. A novel efficiency optimization control strategy is presented here to meet the high efficiency demand of a variable speed Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM). The core of this strategy is the excellent integration of mended maximum torque to the current control algorithm, based on the losses model during the dynamic and the grade search method with changed step by fuzzy logic during the steady. The performance experiments for the control system of a variable speed high efficiency PMSM have been completed. The test results verified that the system can reliably operate with a different control strategy during dynamic and steady operation, and the system exhibits better performance when using the efficiency-optimization control.

A Switched Reluctance Motor(SRM) has been widely studied for practical use due to recent development on technology of power electronics. Because of its advantage that are high speed driving, simple structure and easy variable-speed control, it is expected for applications to automo biles and others. However, it has some problems that are, for examples, relatively high torque ripples and electromagnetic noise. In this paper, a simple theory is presented to represent characteristic of a SRM and theoretical results are compared with experimental ones. In the theory, the inductance variations of a SRM are approximated as linear and winding resistances and the magnetic saturation are ignored. With these approximations, we derived some equations expressing load characteristics of a SRM. Also, the torque ripple was removed by applying a variable hysteresis band control.

Switched reluctance motor drives have been finding their applications in the variable speed drives due to their relatively low cost, simple and robust structure, controllability and high efficiency. Fuzzy control does not need any model of plant. It is based on plant operator experience and heuristics. Fuzzy control is basically adaptive and gives robust performance for plant parameter variation. This paper deals with the sped control of switched reluctance motor using fuzzy controller with 7-rule based fuzzy logic. The proposed fuzzy controller is superior to the control performance of the conventional PI controller. The fuzzy controller is implemented by 80C196KC, 16 bit one-chip microcontroller.

It is suggested that the PWM inverter is controlled by Digital Software Programming. VVVF(Variable Voltage Variable Frequency) inverter control being used by PWM control for driving the motor with speed-varying, makes the PWM pattern with calculating the output voltage and frequency, and with controlling the carrier and signal, so actually this method is difficult to correspond with driving the motor by using voltage-varying and frequency-varying. Therefore this research suggested the new algorithm controlled by micro processor which is already stored by various PWM form of output voltage by using fundamental data of the carrier and signal. The PWM wave can be controlled with real time by using extra hardware and digital software and to speed up program processing, the control signals to switch the power semi-conductor of three phase PWM inverter, simultaneously use the output signal by microprocessor and extra hardware, and control signal by software. In the end, this method was proved by applying to Three Phase Voltage-type Inverter.

In this paper, we implemented the variable speed controller of an induction motor by the Fuzzy control algorithms, which recently is invoking the remarkable interest. As the fuzzy controller is designed on the base of expert's knowlede and experience, it is difficult to expect the perfect control performance of fuzzy controller. Therefore, the adjustment techniques for optimization of scale factors were presented to design the robust fuzzy controller comparing with conventional PI control the usefullness of proposed fuzzy controller was showed by the experimental results.

This paper presents a new velocity estimation strategy for a non-salient permanent magnet synchronous motor drive without high frequency signal injection or special PWM pattern. This approach is based on the d-axis current regulator output voltage of the drive system, which contains the rotor position error information. The rotor velocity can be estimated through a rotor position tracking PI controller that controls the position error at zero. For zero and low speed operation, the PI gain of the rotor position tracking controller has a variable structure according to the estimated rotor velocity. Then, at zero speed, the rotor position and velocity have sluggish dynamics because the varying gains are very low in this region. In order to boost the bandwidth of the PI controller during zero speed, the loop recovery technique is applied to the control system. The PI tuning formulas are also derived by analyzing this control system by frequency domain specifications such as phase margin and bandwidth assignment.
