Fuzzy logic fuzzy set theory is recently getting increasing emphasis in process control applications. This paper describes application of fuzzy logic in a speed control system that uses a phase controlled bridge converter and a separately excited dc motor. The fuzzy control is used to linearize the transfer characteristics of the converter in discontinuous conduction mod occurring at light load and high speed. The fuzzy control is then extended to the current and speed control loops replacing the conventional PI control method. The control algorithms have been developed in detail and verified by simulation of a DC motor(DM) drive system. The simulation result indicates the superiority of fuzzy control over the conventional control methods. Fuzzy logic seems to have a lot of promise in the applications of power electronics.
