This paper presents a nonintrusive method for estimating the parameters of an Induction Motor (IM) without the need for the conventional no-load and locked rotor tests. The method is based on a relatively new swarm-based algorithm called the Chicken Swarm Optimization (CSO). Two different equivalent circuits implementations have been considered for the parameter estimation scheme (one with parallel and the other with series magnetization circuit). The proposed parameter estimation method was validated experimentally on a standard 7.5 kW induction motor and the results were compared to those obtained using the IEEE Std. 112 reduced voltage impedance test method 3. The proposed CSO optimization method gave accurate estimates of the IM equivalent circuit parameters with maximum absolute errors of 5.4618% and 0.9285% for the parallel and series equivalent circuits representations respectively when compared to the IEEE Std. 112 results. However, standard deviation results in terms of the magnetization branch parameters, suggest that the series equivalent circuit model gives more repeatable results when compared to the parallel equivalent circuit. Keywords: Induction motor, Chicken Swarm Optimization, parameter estimation, equivalent circuit, objective function

In this paper, a new nonintrusive efficiency estimation method without using stray loss approximation value was presented, the efficiency of induction motor was computed using estimated value of speed and load torque by AEKF. In AEKF, the speed and load torque as the state of system are estimated, the noise covariance matrices are estimated adaptively while the state of induction motor system are estimated to overcome the defect that estimation results are affected by the selected noise covariance matrices in EKF, then the estimated speed and the load torque are used to achieve noninvasive efficiency estimation. Experimental results demonstrate that the efficiency estimation results of this method has higher accuracy and are not affected by initial value of noises covariance matrices.

Operating quality of automated video control systems depends on optical specifications of video camera and peculiar features of video algorithm. Specified target function performance probability can serve as criterion of automated video control use efficiency. In this work, a new performance efficiency estimation method for automated equipment of target environment video control is suggested: to estimate the probability of target functions’ (object detection, capture, and auto tracking) performance. Theoretical prediction of target functions performance probability was built upon Johnson’s criterion and the use of optimal receiver model. The results of suggested method’s experimental verification have shown that target detection occurred when signal/noise ratio level was above 6. This level can be regarded as low value to ensure that object is detected with probability 0.9.
