Abstract
Induction motors are the workhorse of the industrial sector, consuming a significant portion of the electrical energy. Designing energy-efficient induction motor drives is essential to reduce operational costs and environmental impact. This manuscript discusses various design techniques, control methods, and optimization strategies for improving the energy efficiency of induction motor drives used in industrial applications. The study covers advancements in motor design, power electronic converters, and control algorithms up to the year 2020. Statistical analysis of energy savings is provided to demonstrate the impact of these techniques. The manuscript concludes with recommendations for future industrial motor drive designs emphasizing energy efficiency.
Keywords
