Neural Network Based New Energy Conservation Scheme for Three Phase Induction Motor Operating under Varying Load Torques

Abstract

Due to robustness, reliability, low price and maintenance free operation, induction motors are used in most of the industrial applications. The need for energy conservation is increasing nowadays due to continuous increase in energy demand. The influence of these motors in energy intensive industries is significant in total operational cost. This paper describes a new energy conservation scheme for three phase induction motor with the help of neural network. In this new energy conservation scheme voltage compensation was employed for the various load conditions. Here neural network is used to control the voltage level for the various load conditions. Matlab simulation is done for 5 Hp, 400V, 50Hz and 7.3A three phase squirrel cage induction motor employing the new energy conservation scheme with the help of neural network.
