1. Introduction:
Induction motors are the “workhorses” of modern industry. Because they
have no applied field excitation, the rotor windings can be made to be very
simple and rugged. The most common motor type is the squirrel-cage motor,
which has rotor windings consisting of copper or cast-aluminium bars solidly
connected to conducting end rings on each end, forming a structure which
resembles a squirrel cage. Due to the simple rotor construction, the squirrel
cage motor is rugged and durable, and is the most common type. Wound-
rotor motors are also available, usually for special application where external
resistance is applied to the rotor for speed control.
It is often desirable to control the motor speed, usually for reasons process
control for such variables as flow or pressure. Such applications as fans and
pumps often have varying output requirements, and control of the motor
speed is more efficient than mechanically limiting the process output with
such devices as throttling valves or dampers. The reason for this is due to the
fact that for centrifugally-based processes (such as fans and centrifugally-
based pumps), the following relationships exist (1) torque α rpm 2 (2) power α
rpm3.
So, for these types of processes the torque required to turn them is
proportional to the square of the speed. But, the power required to turn them
is proportional to the cube of the speed, and this is what makes motor speed
control economically attractive. To further this argument, consider the energy
wasted when mechanical means such as the throttling valves or dampers are
used to control a process which is being driven from a motor running at full
speed. It is clear that motor speed control can be used to save energy by
reducing wasted energy used to mechanically control the process.
In most commercial and industrial environments these have supplanted

virtually every other motor speed control method. An adjustable-speed drive
works on the principle of varying the frequency to vary the speed of the motor
the synchronous speed of a motor is a function of both the system frequency
and the number of poles of the motor.
By varying the frequency, the motor speed may be varied so long as the
motor is equipped to dissipate the heat at reduced speeds. Unlike soft-
starting, specialized definite-purpose inverter-rated motor designs are
preferred since reduced-speed operation can cause thermal issues and over
speed operation can result in safety issues. Further, pulse-width modulated
(PWM) drive outputs can cause repetitive voltage overshoots referred to as
ringing, which can reduce the life expectancy of a general-purpose motor.
Various designs exist for adjustable-speed drives, however for low voltage
drives the most prevalent is the voltage-source pulse-width modulated design.
As its name implies, the output is pulse-width modulated to reduce the output
harmonic and noise content. The AC input to the drive is typically a diode
rectifier. A conventional simplified circuit topology for a voltage-source PWM
drive is given in fig.1.
Fig.1 conventional simplified circuit topology for a voltage-source PWM drive
In the proposed topology the matrix converters are employed for converting
the frequency in single stage unlike the two stage conventional method. Since
these are microcontroller based drives they can interface with the automation
infrastructure without any difficulty. The block diagram of the proposed topology
is shown in fig.2.

Using wireless technologies in industrial and factory automation is very

attractive for many reasons. The wireless way of communicating makes plant
setup and modification easier, cheaper, and more flexible. It provides a natural
approach towards communication with mobile equipment where wires are in
constant danger of breaking. It enables new applications where wireless
transmission is the only option, e.g., measurements and control of rotating or
highly mobile devices, and provides a novel approach to existing applications,
e.g., localization and tracking of goods. Furthermore, tasks like machine
diagnosis and maintenance can be greatly simplified by equipping the
maintenance personnel with wireless terminals. In many factory and automation
applications, the communication needs are traditionally served by wired
technologies. These communication systems have been specifically designed to
meet the stringent real-time and reliability requirements found in many industrial
applications. Of course, wireless technologies should ideally provide the same
type and quality of services to industrial users as the traditional, wired
technologies do. However, wireless technologies differ in a number of ways from
wired ones. These differences present significant challenges for the design of
network architectures, protocols, and tools for industrial and automation
applications.
2. Objectives:
The primary aims of the proposal are as follows:
a. To replace the conventional two stage converters in adjustable ac

drives by a matrix converter and directly obtain the desired/required
frequency.
b. To employ an Embedded Microcontroller/PIC Microcontroller to vary
the speed of ac motor instantly by a selective actuation of the switching
sequence with a remote button.
c. To minimize the complexity involved in the currently available method
and provide provision for connection to a remote sensor which allows
the appliance to be switched on or controlled automatically at whatever
speed or functional mode the controller has been set to.
d. Also to provide a switch to reverse the motor rotation/ leave the motor
static whilst activating a further device.
Project significance/relevance:
 Since the power of the motor is directly proportional to the cube of the
speed a small change in speed can contribute a significant amount of
energy to be saved.
 The wireless control of motor speed is more efficient and less complex
than any other methods available currently.
 Also by engaging the remote speed control the motor can be controlled
promptly from the monitoring area without facing any difficulty in
hazardous location like nuclear power plant.
3. Methodology:
 To collect and study the required materials relevant to the project work.
 To analyze the drawbacks of the conventional methods and try to
eliminate them with a new technique.
 To design and develop the model of a PIC Micro controlled converter to
vary the speed of ac motor instantly by a selective actuation of the
switching sequence with a remote controller.
4. Work Plan:
The stages of plan have been given below:
Stage1: A three phase matrix converter has to be simulated using MATLAB

for different levels of frequency initially.
Stage2: In addition a Prototype of the simulated model has to be

implemented and checked for the required operation.
Stage3: Finally the desired output has to be derived for better performance
