Recently, speed sensorless control of Induction Motor (IM) drives received great attention to avoid the different problems associated with direct speed sensors. Among different rotor speed estimation techniques, Model Reference Adaptive System (MRAS) schemes are the most common strategies employed due to their relative simplicity and low computational effort. In this paper a novel adaptation mechanism is proposed which replaces normally used conventional Proportional-Integral (PI) controller in MRAS adaptation mechanism by a Fractional Order PI (FOPI) controller. The performance of two adaptation mechanism controllers has been verified through simulation results using MATLAB/SIMULINK software. It is seen that the performance of the induction motor has improved when FOPI controller is used in place of classical PI controller.
