This work presents the experimental demonstration of a hybrid fuzzy-fuzzy controller speed control of a squirrel-cage induction motor variable speed drive based on the space-vector pulse width modulation technique by means of digital signal processing. In particular, two features of field-oriented control were engaged to design a hybrid fuzzy-fuzzy controller, namely the current and frequency. In order to overcome the limitations of the field-oriented control technique, the principle of the hybrid fuzzy-fuzzy controller is introduced in the course of the acceleration�deceleration stages to regulate the speed of the rotor with the help of a fuzzy frequency controller. Conversely, a fuzzy stator current magnitude controller was involved during the steady-state. The results revealed that the control approach has the ability to deliver a practical control solution in the presence of diverse operating conditions. © 2017, The Natural Computing Applications Forum.
