La. Cabrera et al., LEARNING TECHNIQUES TO TRAIN NEURAL NETWORKS AS A STATE SELECTOR FOR INVERTER-FED INDUCTION MACHINES USING DIRECT TORQUE CONTROL, IEEE transactions on power electronics, 12(5), 1997, pp. 788-799
Neural networks are receiving attention as controllers for many indust
rial applications. Although these networks eliminate the need for math
ematical models, they require a lot of training to understand the mode
l of a plant or a process. Issues such as learning speed, stability, a
nd weight convergence remain as areas of research and comparison of ma
ny training algorithms. This paper discusses the application of neural
networks to control induction machines using direct torque control (D
TC), A neural network is used to emulate the state selector of the DTC
, The training algorithms used in this paper are the backpropagation,
adaptive neuron model, extended Kalman filter, and the parallel recurs
ive prediction error, Computer simulations of the motor and neural-net
work system using the four approaches are presented and compared, Disc
ussions about the parallel recursive prediction error and the extended
Kalman filter algorithms as the most promising training techniques is
presented, giving their advantages and disadvantages.
