This research represents a study of the efficiency improvement for the developed hybrid fuzzy-fuzzy controller (HFFC) scheme to gain control over the speed of an induction motor's variable speed drive (VSD). In order to overcome drawback of field oriented control (FOC) method, the principle of HFFC is based on set of rules to control speed of a rotor by utilizing fuzzy frequency controller during the accelerate-decelerate stage. Alternatively, a fuzzy stator current magnitude controller is used during steady-state stage. The two aspects (current and frequency) of FOC are engaged to design a scalar controller. The performance of the controller is observed by conducting a series of tests, and it can be concluded that the controller is efficient, reliable and insensitive towards the parameter variation in the system and motor robustness to load and noise disturbances. © 2015 The Authors.
