Load torque identification in induction motor using neural networks technique

Induction motors are widely used in several industrial sectors. However, the dimensioning of induction motors is often inaccurate because, in most cases, the load behavior in the shaft is completely unknown. The proposal of this paper is to use artificial neural networks as a tool for dimensioning induction motors rather than conventional methods, which use classical identification techniques and mechanical load modeling. Simulation results are also presented to validate the proposed approach.
