Abstract
This study presents a design and simulation of Neuro-Fuzzy Logic Controlled (NFLC) Single Phase Matrix Converter (SPMC) fed Induction Heating (IH) system. Single phase matrix converter system is an AC-AC converter which eliminates the usage of reactive storage elements and its performance over varying operating frequencies can be controlled by varying the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal fed to the switches of single phase matrix converter. In the existing system a Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) was designed to control the matrix converter which yielded low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) values when compared to previous systems. In this study a Neuro-Fuzzy Logic Controller was designed to control the single phase matrix converter and the results obtained prove its advantage over the existing Fuzzy Logic based control system.
