Book relates to the speed control of an induction motor introduced intelligent methods such as Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC), Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Adaptive Neural Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Optimization Techniques such as Genetic Algorithm (GA), Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) and Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithms(PSO).The results showed that the PSO-PI controller can perform with an efficient way for searching for the optimal PI controller. Comparison study among fuzzy logic, neural network, Adaptive Neural Fuzzy Inference System, genetic algorithm, sequential quadratic programming and particle swarm optimization controllers are performed. These methods can improve the dynamic performance of the system in a better way.The PI-PSO controller is the best method based on integrated of time weight absolute error (ITAE)criteria which presented satisfactory performances and possesses good robustness (no overshoot, minimal rise time, steady state error almost to zero value). A comparison study has been done between selected methods and some other technique which showed that the proposed controller has setting time less than other methods by 40%.

Induction motors are the most important workhorses in industry. They are mostly used as constant-speed drives when fed from a voltage source of fixed frequency. Advent of advanced power electronic converters and powerful digital signal processors, however, has made possible the development of high performance, adjustable speed AC motor drives. This book aims to explore new areas of induction motor control based on artificial intelligence (AI) techniques in order to make the controller less sensitive to parameter changes. Selected AI techniques are applied for different induction motor control strategies.

Conventional controllers like the proportional integral differential (PID) would have being very effective not just for speed control alone, if not for some complexities with individually controlling its respective controllers and summing up their individual contributions to effectively yield controlled signal output. Also, for its insensitivity to changes made to model parameters which may be as a result of misrepresentation of some control variables. As a result of this, developing an intelligent based fuzzy logic controller (FLC) became eminent, and on this basis, this book is written. By varying the motor speed with input reference speed, an error signal and a feedback loop is generated. The FLC then operates on the principles of mapping with corrective measure of the error signal generated and it is regulated by sets of IF-THEN rules integrating the Mamdani fuzzy inference approach. The rules projected and formed are used to overcome the drawbacks of conventional controllers. Since induction motors are widely used in many industries today, most especially squirrel caged, an intelligent approach to the control of these motors will save cost, increase reliability and efficiency
