Prediction of current harmonics in induction motors with Artificial Neural Network

Abstract

In this paper, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) technique has been used for the estimation of voltage THD (Total Harmonic Distortion), and current THD, mainly from input and output measurements of five different chorded induction motors fed from a pulse width modulation inverter voltage supply. A sinusoidal pulsewidth modulation (SPWM) inverter feeding five different chorded three-phase induction motors were tested up to first thirty harmonic voltage component at different loads. The results show that the artificial neural network model produces reliable estimates of voltage THD and current THD . I.INTRODUCTION ANN models have been applied to a large number of problems because of their non-linear system modeling capability by learning ability using collected data. They offer highly parallel, adaptive models that can be trained by the experience. In fact, ANN models have the universal approximation property that means under mild conditions on the data, they can fit any data set with an arbitrary high precision, provided that there are a sufficient number of parameters in the model. However, when there are too many parameters compared to the number of data available, the over fitting phenomenon appears. The known data used for training are well fitted, but the function has no sense between points used for training [1].During the last decade ANN models have been applied widely to prediction of the data. Such a prediction study has been completed in this paper, to compare the effectiveness of artificial intelligence approach. A two layer feed forward neural network trained by the back propagation technique employed in the stator voltage THD estimation. Therefore , a sinusoidal pulse-width modulation (SPWM) inverter feeding five different chorded three-phase induction motors were tested up to first thirty harmonic voltage component at different loads and different switching frequencies up to 15Khz. The number of all measurements results obtained from experiments are 4369. 15% of this data were used for validation, 15% were used for test and 70% were used for training the neural network. Based on experimental results, the artificial neural

“…As seen in many multidisciplinary studies that have done by the researchers [ [46] , [47] , [48] , [49] , [54] , [53] , [52] , [51] , [50] ], artificial neural networks have shown that they can be applied to any problem as a method that can solve complex problems inspired by biological nervous system easily, quickly and with scientific accuracy. The artificial neural network was trained with the data set of the study, the time of the operations of the production of emergency fixtures with 29 operations, the machine types, the priority order of the operations, the weight distributions of the operations and the efficiency values of each station.…”

Üç Fazlı Bir Asenkron Motorun Çeşitli Bobin Adım Biçimi ile Performans ve Harmonik Analizi

“…It has been found that the optimal coil pitch can enhance the winding factor, which in turn enhances the fundamental induced voltage. In (Birbir & Nogay, 2007), harmonic analysis of the voltage and current has been performed for 1100W, 36-slot, three-phase, four-pole squirrel cage induction motors with full-pitch and different under-pitch configurations of the stator windings. The analysis has been carried out experimentally and the motors are supplied both using sinusoidal PWM inverter and sinusoidal voltage excitation.…”

“…ANN is defined as a data processing system consisting of a large number of simple highly interconnected processing elements (artificial neuron) in architecture inspired by the structure of cerebral cortex of the brain [44]. Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) are an abstract simulation of a real nervous system that consists of a set of neural units connected to each other via axon connections which are very similar to the dendrites and the axons in biological nervous systems [45,46] Each layer employs several neurons and each neuron in a layer is connected to a neuron in the adjacent layer with different weights. With the exception of the input layer, each neuron receives signals from the neurons of the previous layer linearly weighted by the interconnect values between neurons.…”
