This paper analyzes control strategies for induction motors in railway applications. The paper will focus on drives operating with a low switching to fundamental frequency ratio and in the overmodulation region or six-step operation, as these are the most challenging cases. Modulation methods, efficient modes of operation of the drive and the implications for its dynamic performance, and machine design will also be discussed. Extensive simulation results, as well as experimental results, obtained from a railway traction drive, are provided.

Independent modal control technique allows to change the eigenvalues of a system, without changing its eigenvectors. From a mechanical point of view, it means it is possible to modify the natural frequencies and the damping of a n-DoF system, letting modal shapes unchanged. Independent modal control can be profitably used in active vibration control increasing the damping of the system without changing its natural frequencies and vibration modes. A control of this type can improve the dynamic performance, reduce the vibratory phenomenon (and the resulting acoustic noise) and increase the fatigue strength of the system. This work demonstrates how the performance of the control depends on the number and position of sensors and actuators used besides, obviously, on the reduced model used to synthesize the control itself. Finally the paper suggests a simple optimum function to minimize the spillover effects due to unmodeled modes. Theoretical aspects are supported by numerical simulations.

The control of nonlinear decoupling between the electromagnetic torque and radial levitation force is the key of the stable suspend operation of bearingless induction motor. An optimized algorithm for stator flux oriented control with direct solution of d-axis current is proposed. This method overcomes the problems that the conventional stator flux oriented control which must work with decouple regulator and is influenced by time-delay of decouple regulator. The control of suspend model imports the feedback control of unilateral magnetic-force to reduce the errors about the delay and interference of system. The simulation results show that the motor has excellent dynamic performance and stability.


At the present scenario, three-phase induction motors (IM) are having wide applications in the industries. So, the need for an effective controlling technique is compulsory. Various techniques are there to control the speed of IM. Soft computing techniques are having in a great improvement in the recent trends. This paper discusses on the scalar control technique of induction motor for conventional PI and fuzzy logic controller. The performance of an induction motor is simulated using MATLAB/Simulink with PI and fuzzy controllers, the results are analyzed and the techno feasibility of both the controllers is presented in detail. Torque-speed (T-N) characteristics of an induction motor for a traditional PI model are considered and compared with rules-based fuzzy logic

The space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM), as a new kind of vector control technique, has the advantages of high voltage utilization, less distorted output, simple control method, etc. In this paper, the control technique is applied to three-phase photovoltaic (PV) grid-connected inverter system. It uses double loop control method combined with PI control technique. The simulation model of PV grid-connected inverter system is established in Matlab/Simulink. The simulation results show that the application of SVPWM technique effectively improves the dynamic performance of PV grid inverter system and the THD of grid-connected current is low.
