Received: 26 November 2022 The induction machine (IM) is a nonlinear, multivariable, strongly coupled system.

loss minimization, efficiency machine, present work contributes to improving the efficiency of a flux-oriented indirect control
optimal rotor flux, hysteresis inverter (IFOC) of an induction motor associated with a new hysteresis inverter. The Induction
motors have good efficiencies when operating at full load. However, at lower than rated
loads, which is a condition that many machines experience for significant portion of their
service life, the efficiency is greatly reduced. To improve the efficiency of the existing
motor it is important to regulate the flux of the motor in the desired operating range. This
paper proposes the analytical approach of minimizing copper losses for an induction motor
and energy efficient control strategy based on fuzzy logic using Matlab / Simulink®. This
parameter is used to determine an optimal rotor flux reference it has the goal of maximizing
the efficiency for each given load torque. The proposed fuzzy controller adjusts the
electromagnetic torque, to give the optimized flux by minimizing losses.

If a losses model of the induction motor is available [13-15],
the optimal flux by minimizing the losses can be calculated
analytically. Although this method is characterized by its
simplicity, the engine information must be known precisely.
The efficiency of the machine can be optimized, by finding
the optimal values of the voltage and frequency of the drives
based on the minimization of the induction motor losses. Many
researches algorithms have been used. For induction motor
efficiency optimization include Genetic Algorithm [8, 9], PSO,
used to find the optimum values of the excitation voltage and
frequency [10].
Improving efficiency by optimizing the waveforms
provided by the inverter. Several strategies have been reported
in the literature to reduce MI losses. Some algorithms use
current [11], voltage [9], rotor flux [12] and other parameters.
At this point, we have studied the inverter machine Figure 1. Rotor flux orientation principle

these techniques deliver high switching frequencies and

The flux orientation vector control requires knowledge of
the rotor module of the rotor flux. To do this, we can estimate
the flux using the rotor equation (7) expressed in the stator
reference frame, as shown on Figure 2 [18].
