Abstract:
This paper describes a numerical approach to power-loss minimization in a fractional hp induction motor driven by a voltage-source inverter. The motor parameters are obtained from a genetic algorithm search. Optimum voltage and frequency excitations are arranged as a table for an energy-saving controller. The proposed method is useful under variable-torque load conditions. Simulation and experimental results are presented.
