In this paper, a novel Stator Current Based Model Reference Adaptive System (SC_MRAS) speed estimation scheme using neural network (NN) and Sliding Mode (SM) is proposed to improve the performance of the MRAS speed observer for high-performance Six Phases Induction Motor (SPIM) drives, especially at low and zero speed region, where the poor performance of observers is still always a large challenge. In this paper, a twolayer linear NN, which has been trained online by means of the Least Squares (LS) algorithm, is used as an adaptive model to estimate the stator current and this model is employed in prediction mode. These novel proposed can ensure that the whole drive system achieves faster satisfactory torque and speed control and strong robustness, the observer operate better accuracy and stability both in transient and steady-state operation. Especially, in this proposed observer, the rotor flux, which is needed for the stator current estimation of the adaptive model and providing to the controller, is identified based on adaptive SM technique. The improvement of Rotor Flux Estimation for SC_MRAS-Based Sensorless SPIM Drives help to eliminate the disadvantages in SC_MRAS based observer such as stator resistance sensitivity, and flux open loop integration which may cause dc drift and initial condition problems or instability in the regenerating mode of operation, therefore, enhancing the rotor flux estimation, speed estimation and control accuracy at very low and zero stator frequency operation help improve the observer and overall drive system performance. The indirect field oriented control (IFOC) for speed control of a sensorless SPIM drive using the proposed observer is built by MATLAB/ Simulink. The simulation results have proven that the observer give the good dynamic performance, quick convergence, low estimation errors both in transient and steady state operation. The proposed sensorless increase the system's accuracy, reliability and robustness. Parameter sensitivity, computational effort and stability at low and zero speed are significantly improved.
