What is it about?

This paper aims to present an optimal variable speed drive of a doubly fed induction motor (DFIM) with minimum losses and reduced inverter capacity. The operation with minimum losses ensures that the DFIM develops the required load torque at desired speed with maximum energy saving. Moreover, the control of rotor voltage ensures the reduced inverter capacity. The water cycle algorithm (WCA) as one of meta-heuristic optimization techniques is used to estimate the optimal rotor voltages to drive the DFIM with minimum losses. The results of WCA are confirmed with other well-known and reliable optimization method such as particle swarm optimization along with classical method.
