Design of Artificial Neural Network Controller for Power Converters Using MATLAB GUI

he Staff Development Committee of the Engineering Department organised a programme on “Design of Artificial Neural Network Controller for Power Converters Using MATLAB GUI” on 10 May 2021 at 1.30 pm. Dr Muruganandam Masilamani, lecturer, Electrical Section, Department of Engineering, delivered the presentation for the benefit of the staff members. He shared information about the design and simulation of the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) Controller using MATLAB’s graphical user interface (GUI). In his presentation he emphasised the importance of the Artificial Neural Network Controller in different discipline and explained the design procedure of the controller with some practical examples. He also demonstrated the design of of the Artificial Neural Network Controller for controlling the speed of a DC motor using MATLAB simulation. Finally, he gave the advantages of using Artificial Neural Network Controller for different applications. The presentation was well received by the staff with good interaction. A total of 14 staff participated in the event.
