Abstract
•A configuration is proposed for parallel connection of two six-phase Double Star Induction Motors (DSIMs) to a Single Six-phase Inverter Supply.•A Fuzzy Logic Controller is employed for each DSIM. The effectiveness and capability of the proposed controller are studied through simulations.•A comparison of the speed response with two controllers (FLC and PI) is presented and analyzed.
Speed control of two Double Star Induction Motors operating in parallel configuration with Indirect Field Oriented Control using a Fuzzy Logic Controller is investigated. The two motors are connected in parallel at the output of a single six-phase PWM based inverter fed from a DC source. Performance of the proposed method under load disturbances is studied through simulations. A comparison of the speed response with the two controllers is presented and analyzed.
