Abstract

In this paper, applying field orientation based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) controls the speed of two-asymmetrical windings induction motor. The maximum efficiency of the motor is obtained by the evaluation of optimal rotor flux at any operating point. In addition, the electro-magnetic torque is also improved while maintaining a fast dynamic response. In this research, a novel approach is used to evaluate the optimal rotor flux level. This approach is based on particle swarm optimization (PSO). PSO method is a member of the wide category of swarm intelligence methods (SI). This research presents two speed control strategies. These are field-oriented controller (FOC) and FOC based on PSO. The strategies are implemented mathematically and experimental. The simulation and experimental results have demonstrated that the FOC based on PSO method saves more energy than the conventional FOC method
