Hybrid Approach”
Objective:
The primary objective of this study is to develop and implement
a hybrid system that combines the strengths of fuzzy logic and
the firefly algorithm to optimize the energy-efficient operation of
three-phase induction motor drives.
The goal is to enhance motor drive performance, improve
energy efficiency, and address the challenges associated with
uncertainties and imprecise information.
Problem Analysis:
Three-phase induction motor drives are integral to various
industrial applications, but they face challenges related to energy

The aim of this study is to address these challenges by integrating
fuzzy logic, known for its ability to handle uncertainties, and the
firefly algorithm, recognized for optimization in complex systems.
By combining these two methodologies, we seek to overcome
the limitations of traditional control systems and improve the
overall energy efficiency of three-phase induction motor drives.
