Abstract

This paper deals with speed control of induction motors with a gain tuning based on simple Genetic Algorithms, which are search algorithms based on the mechanics of natual selection and genetics. Based on the designed control system structure, the indirect vector control system of induction motors is simulated. The simulation results show that the system has a strong robust to the parameter variation and is insensitive to the load disturbance. Thus, the proposed PI controller based on genetic algorithms is superior to manually tuned classical PI controller in improving the speed control performance of induction motors.
