There exists a combination of stator voltage and frequency which results in maximum efficiency for a given induction motor under a specified speed and load condition. This optimal operating point is calculated over the complete speed and load torque range using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN). It is shown that maximum efficiency can be achieved compared to the conventional volthertz control method. Theoretical results are presented as well as an experimental confirmation of them.
