Abstract

The 3Φ induction motor is a broadly used electric machine in industrial applications, which plays a vital role in industries because of having plenty of beneficial impacts like low cost and easiness but the problems like decrease in motor speed due to load, high consumption of current and high ripple occurrence of ripples have reduced its preferences. The ultimate objective of this study is to control change in motor speed due to load variations. An improved Trans Z Source Inverter (ΓZSI) with a clamping diode is employed to maintain constant input voltage, reduce ripples and voltage overshoot. To operate induction motor at rated speed, different controllers are used. The conventional Proportional-Integral (PI) controller suffers from high settling time and maximum peak overshoot. To overcome these limitations, Fractional Order Proportional Integral Derivative (FOPID) controller optimized by Gray Wolf Optimization (GWO) technique is employed to provide better performance by eliminating maximum peak overshoot problems. The proposed speed controller provides good dynamic response and controls the induction motor more effectively. The complete setup is implemented in MATLAB Simulation to verify the simulation results. The proposed approach provides optimal performance with high torque and speed along with less steady state error.
