Parameter estimation of induction motor based on chaotic ant swarm algorithm

Chaotic ant swarm algorithm is a novel optimization method, which has the ability of global optimum search. This paper proposes a new parameter estimation method for induction motor based on chaotic ant swarm algorithm. The problem of induction motor parameter estimation is converted to a problem of parameter optimization which could be solved via chaotic ant swarm algorithm. A numerical simulation on the test motor is conducted. Simulation results show that the proposed method is effective in parameter estimation of the induction motor.
