Abstract

Traditional induction motor control methods typically require feedback from sensors like encoders or resolvers to determine the motor's rotor position and speed accurately. The speed control of a sensorless induction motor is critical, so this study provides a novel method that combines the Model Reference Adaptive System (MRAS) for speed estimate with the Fractional Order PID controller for speed control. This controller's parameters are optimized using the Grey Wolf Optimizer Algorithm. After being implemented in the MATLAB/Simulink environment, the suggested approach's performance is compared to that of a standard PI controller. From the findings, it is clear that the proposed method effectively maintaining the specified speed as compared with PI controller. The proposed controller performance is also validated through experimental results.

Keywords: Model Reference Adaptive System (MRAS), Fractional Order PID Controller (FOPID), Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO).
