A FUZZY LOGIC CONTROLLER TO LINE STARTING PERFORMANCE SYNCHRONOUS MOTOR FOR A CRANE SYSTEM USING VECTOR CONTROL

This paper presents the design process of a synchronous motor of crane system using vector control of line starting [1]. The preliminary design is d-q model armature rotor line start synchronous motor with vector control for decreasing a starting current and torque. The design allows the synchronous motor to operate at both starting and synchronous speed. The basic equations for park transformation of the rotor-stator for proposed vector control to synchronous motor are presented [2]. The starting performance of synchronous motor, for example in crane application, requires rapid dynamics and precise regulation; hence the need of direct control is becoming an urgent demand. This type of control providesanindependent vector control of torqueand current, whichis similar to a separatelyexcited synchronous motor and offersa number ofattractivefeatures.
