Fuzzy Predictive Force Control (FPFC) for Speed Sensorless Control of Single-side Linear Induction Motor

In this paper a model fuzzy predictive force control (FPFC) for the speed sensorless control of a single-side linear induction motor (SLIM) is proposed. The main purpose of of predictive control is minimizing the difference between the future output and reference values. This control method has a lower force ripple and a higher convergence speed in comparison to conventional predictive force control (CPFC). In this paper, CPFC and FPFC are applied to a linear induction motor and their results are compared. The results show that this control method has better performance in comparison to the conventional predictive control method.
