Abstract

Practical implementation has an important role
in engineering education. Practical implementations, however, may not be
possible in some situations, such as lack of physical possibilities, the
presence of situations that may create risks during implementation, or
place-time dependence. So, package programs are developed for the virtual
practical implementation experience. On the other hand, these tools may not be
flexible and interactive enough for all branches of science. Therefore, in this
study a virtual laboratory tool was developed for the speed control of an
induction motor fed by a three-level inverter. The user can select
proportional-integral, proportional–integral–derivative, fuzzy logic,
artificial neural network, and neuro-fuzzy controllers for the speed
controller. Different working conditions for the induction motor can be
simulated and the outcomes can be observed by the users. The virtual laboratory
had a flexible interface and it was written on Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 IDE
using C# programming language on Windows Presentation Foundation
infrastructure.
