Efficiency Optimization of Induction Motor Drive in Steady- State using Artificial Neural Network ABSTRACT: Induction motors have good efficiency at rated conditions, but at partial loads if operated with rated flux, they show poor efficiency, Motors in such conditions waste a lot of electricity, results in increased operational cost, hence significant loss of revenue, if run for long duration, Because of robustness, good power/mass relation, low cost and easy maintenance throughout its life cycle, induction motors, particularly squirrelcage induction motors are vastly used in industries. Because of the huge number of operational units worldwide, they consume a considerable amount of electrical energy, so even a minute efficiency improvement may lead to significant contributions in global electricity consumption, revenue saving and other environmental aspects. This paper uses key concepts of loss model control (LMC) and search control (SC) together for efficient operation of induction motors used in various industrial applications, where aforesaid load conditions may occur for prolonged durations. Based on the induction motor loss model in d-q frame, and using classical optimization techniques, done earlier, an optimal Ids expression in terms of machine parameters and load parameters is used to estimate optimal Ids values for various load conditions, offline, and finally tabulated. Based on which, an artificial neural network (ANN) controller is designed, taking torque and speed as input and Ids as output. The ANN controller reproduces the optimal Ids * value, as per load conditions, in feed-forward manner, and thus eliminates run-time computations and perturbations for optimal flux. The ANN training is performed in MA TLAB and the results have shown the superb accuracy of the model. Dynamic and steady-state performances are compared for conventional vector control (constant Ids) and proposed optimal control (optimal Ids) operations. Excellent dynamic as well as superior efficiency performance (1-18%) at steady- state, is observed in optimal flux operation, For Simulation Results of the project Contact Us
