Summary:This paper presents a novel method to achieve good performance of
an extended Kalman filter (EKF) for speed estimation of an induction
motor drive. A real-coded genetic algorithm (GA) is used to optimize the
noise covariance and weight matrices of the EKF, thereby ensuring filter
stability and accuracy in speed estimation. Simulation studies on a
constant V/Hz controller and a field-oriented controller (FOC) under
various operating conditions demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed
method. The experimental system consists of a prototype
digital-signal-processor-based FOC induction motor drive with hardware
facilities for acquiring the speed, voltage, and current signals to a
PC. Experiments comprising offline GA training and verification phases
are presented to validate the performance of the optimized EKF
