Sensorless induction motor speed control for electric vehicles using enhanced hybrid flux estimator with ann-ifoc controller

Basically, a speed sensor is used to sense an electric vehicle’s motor speed at the rated value in order to achieve a high tracking accuracy of the speed, but the use of a sensor is costly and it is sensitive to vibrations. Therefore, this project proposed a new mechanism in order to eliminate the s...
