Abstract

This paper presents a novel method for efficiency enhancement of indirect field-oriented control of induction motor drive. The efficiency of the electric vehicle is improved by optimization of rotor flux in the facets of load variations. Model reference adaptive system (MRAS)-based estimation of speed and torque is used in loss model to evaluate the loss components corresponding to d-axis and q-axis stator current. The improved efficiency is achieved by making these losses equal. The error between the losses is reduced by PI regulator to obtain the most suitable rotor flux of the drive. Furthermore, particle swarm optimization, grey wolf optimization and salp swarm algorithms are used to tune the parameters of PI controller. The suggested scheme is simulated by considering the operation of induction motor drive under realistic conditions. The results obtained are compared with the standard constant rotor flux operation. The sensitivity of the suggested scheme to variations in induction motor parameters is also carried out to ensure its robustness. It is revealed from the results that salp swarm algorithm (SSA) provides the significant improvement in efficiency of induction motor in comparison to the constant flux operation.
