This paper proposes the controlling of Induction motor drives.Because of low maintenance and robustness, induction motors have many applications in industries. Speed control of induction motor is more important to achieve maximum torque and efficiency. Various control techniques such as scalar control, vector control, Sensor-less control are used. These Schemes suffers from parameter sensitivity and limited performance at low speed of operation. Sensor-less control of induction motor drive using model reference adaptive system with PI controller as reference model will limit the performance at low speed of operation. In this thesis, a novel adaptation mechanism is proposed which replaces PI controller in MRAS adaptation mechanism by a fuzzy logic controller. This is applied to a vector controlled drive and experimentally verified. This makes the reference model free from pure integration and less sensitive to stator resistance variations. This improves the performance of MRAS based sensor-less drives at low speed of operation.
