Nonintrusive Method for Induction Motor Equivalent Circuit Parameter Estimation using Chicken Swarm Optimization (CSO) Algorithm
Abstract
This paper presents a nonintrusive method for estimating the parameters of an Induction Motor (IM) without the need for the conventional no-load and locked rotor tests. The method is based on a relatively new swarm-based algorithm called the Chicken Swarm Optimization (CSO). Two different equivalent circuits implementations have been considered for the parameter estimation scheme (one with parallel and the other with series magnetization circuit). The proposed parameter estimation method was validated experimentally on a standard 7.5 kW induction motor and the results were compared to those obtained using the IEEE Std. 112 reduced voltage impedance test method 3. The proposed CSO optimization method gave accurate estimates of the IM equivalent circuit parameters with maximum absolute errors of 5.4618% and 0.9285% for the parallel and series equivalent circuits representations respectively when compared to the IEEE Std. 112 results. However, standard deviation results in terms of the magnetization branch parameters, suggest that the series equivalent circuit model gives more repeatable results when compared to the parallel equivalent circuit.
