A New Method of Speed Control for Induction Motor Based On Improved Particle Swarm Optimization

Optimization techniques are becoming more popular for the improvement in control of induction motor. Many intelligent algorithms have been used to improve performance of induction motor so for including particle swarm optimization. However, the improved performance may be limited on account of inertia coefficient in particle swarm optimization, which lead to the unbalance between the searching step and searching precision. In this paper, a variable-step nonlinear dynamic inertia weight of particle swarm optimization speed controller is proposed to improve the performance of an induction motor. The experiment results show that the proposed method has excellent performance.
