description This paper addresses the critical challenge of optimizing the energy efficiency of induction motors, which are pivotal components across diverse industrial sectors due to their substantial energy consumption. Given the non-measurable internal parameters of induction motors, parameter identification becomes a complex, multidimensional optimization problem characterized by highly nonlinear and multimodal error surfaces. Traditional optimization algorithms often weaken, yielding suboptimal results due to an inadequate balance between the exploration and exploitation phases. To overcome these limitations, this study introduces an Adaptive Weight Grey Wolf Optimizer (AWGWO) to enhance the accuracy and reliability of induction motor parameter estimation. The AWGWO incorporates an adaptive weight mechanism that dynamically adjusts the exploration and exploitation balance, effectively mitigating issues such as premature convergence to local optima. Extensive simulation validation was conducted across various induction motor models, including eight commercial motors, and demonstrated that AWGWO consistently outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms in terms of convergence speed, solution accuracy, and robustness in multimodal optimization landscapes. The AWGWO consistently exhibited faster convergence, significantly reducing premature convergence. Moreover, the adaptive weight mechanism enabled a more effective balance between exploration and exploitation, leading to higher accuracy in parameter estimation. Comparative analyses reveal that AWGWO outperforms existing algorithms not only in achieving lower error rates, but also in maintaining stability. This study significantly contributes to progress in the field by providing an effective tool for induction motor parameterization, thereby offering potential improvements in energy efficiency.
