Loss minimization in scalar-controlled induction motor drives with search controllers

Loss minimization in scalar-controlled induction motor drives (IMD) with search controllers (SC) is investigated. The problems arising when the input power is used as the controlled variable are described. It is proved that better results are achieved if the stator current is used as the controlled variable.
