Comparative Evaluation of PSO, TLBO, and JAYA based Adaptive PI and FOPI Controllers for Vector Controlled Induction Motor Drive

This work aims to tune the PI and Fractional-order PI (FOPI) controllers to get the optimal controller parameter values with the help of modern optimization techniques, such as the JAYA algorithm, PSO, and TLBO. The model of an induction motor is used as the plant and the indirect vector control method is applied to the motor. The controller is here first implemented with PI and then with FOPI controllers. The controllers used in the vector-controlled method are tuned with the help of the above-mentioned approaches. The results obtained by PSO, JAYA, and TLBO algorithms are compared for PI as well as FOPI and a conclusion is drawn based on the superiority of the dynamic responses of the vector-controlled drive.
