Numerical approach to loss minimization in an induction motor

S. Sujitjorn and K. -L. Areerak

Applied Energy, 2004, vol. 79, issue 1, pages 87-96

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.
