This paper proposes a design of a speed control of three phase induction motor fed from wind turbine using genetic algorithm. The wind turbine acts as a prime-mover for doubly fed induction generator. To make the system stable, proper monitoring is required or sometimes an auxiliary system can also be a good option, which can support the primary system during undesirable conditions. The three phase induction motor has wide applications in industries due to its rugged construction, efficiency and low cost. Genetic algorithm is used for estimation of feedback controller parameters for three phase induction motor fed from wind turbine .Genetic algorithm offers certain advantages such as simple computational steps, derivative free optimization, reduced no. of iteration and assured near global optima. The simulation results show a significant enhancement in shortening development time and improving dynamic performance of the induction machine compared to the conventional speed control of induction motor drive.

INTRODUCTION |
| This study proposes the genetic algorithm for optimal designing of fuzzy controller for speed control of Induction motor fed by wind turbine, which has a simple structure and robust performance in a wide range of operating conditions. The use of induction motors has increased tremendously since the day of its invention. The reason for its day by day increasing popularity can be primarily attributed to its robust construction, simplicity in design and cost effectiveness. These have also proved to be more reliable than DC motors. However, the highly non-linear nature of the induction motor control dynamics demands strenuous control algorithms for the control of speed. The conventional controller types that are used for the aforementioned purpose may be numeric, neural or fuzzy. The controller types that are regularly used are: Proportional Integral (PI), Proportional Derivative (PD), Proportional Integral Derivative (PID), Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) or a blend between them. |
| Intelligent control methodologies are being applied to robotics and automation, communications, manufacturing, traffic control, to mention but a few application areas. The design problem of the proposed controller is formulated as an optimization problem and genetic algorithm is employed to search for optimal controller parameters. By minimizing the time domain objective function, in which the deviations in error between the reference and actual speed is involved, speed control of Induction motor is improved. |
II.INDIRECT FIELD ORIENTED CONTROL (IFOC) |

 |
 |
| Thus, the above analysis shows that the vector control strategy can provide the same performance as is achieved from a separately excited DC machine; this is done by formulating the stator current phasor, in the two axis synchronously rotating reference frame, to have two components: magnetizing current component and torque producing current component; the generated motor torque is the product of two components. By keeping the magnetizing current component at a constant rated value, the motor torque is linearly proportional to the torqueproducing component, which is quite similar to the control of a separately excited DC motor. An indirect field oriented control scheme for a current controlled PWM induction machine motor drive. The command values for the abc stator currents can then be computed as follows: |

III. GENETIC ALGORITHMS |
| Genetic Algorithm (GA) is one of the optimization algorithms, which is invented to mimic some of the processes observed in natural evolution. The Genetic Algorithm is stochastic search techniques based on the mechanism of natural selection and natural genetics. Genetic Algorithm is employed to search for optimal controller parameters by minimizing the time domain objective function. There are three main genetic operators named as reproduction, crossover & mutation. |

| 2. If (error is NL) and (change in error is ZE) then (change in control is A) |
| 3. If (error is NL) and (change in error is PL) then (change in control is B) |
| 4. If (error is ZE) and (change in error is NL) then (change in control is A) |
| 5. If (error is ZE) and (change in error is ZE) then (change in control is B) |
| 6. If (error is ZE) and (change in error is PL) then (change in control is C) |
| 7. If (error is PL) and (change in error is NL) then (change in control is B) |
| 8. If (error is PL) and (change in error is ZE) then (change in control is B) |
| 9. If (error is PL) and (change in error is PL) then (change in control is C) |

VI.WIND TURBINE MODEL |
| Wind energy is the kinetic energy that is of large masses of air moving over the earth’s surface. The blades of the wind turbine receive the kinetic energy, which is then transformed to the mechanical or electrical forms depending on end usage. The efficiency of converting wind energy to useful energy form depends on the efficiency with which rotor interacts with the wind streams (Mihel-Popaet al,2004). The kinetic energy of a stream of air with mass m and moving with velocity V is given as |
 |
| The kinetic energy of an air stream available for wind turbine having cross section area A and mass m that is equal to ρ.ν and moving velocity Vw is given in |
 |
| Where the ρ is the density of air and v is a volume of air portion available to the rotor. The power from the wind is the kinetic energy on which the air is interacting with rotor per unit time has a cross section area A, can be expressed as |

VI. GA-MULTI OBJECTIVE OPTIMAL CONTROL WITH DFIG |
| The problem of adjusting the controller’s gains of the rotor-side DFIG converter, considering a specific operating point, may be formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem .The objectives to be optimized are the absolute errors between the rotor reference currents, which are established by the GA-fuzzy controllers, and the rotor measured currents along the q and d axis respectively and the magnitude of the rotor voltage. By considering the DFIG vector control formulation, it can be shown that the q and d components of the rotor current are very effective in controlling both the DFIG stator active power and the terminal voltage respectively. This way, improving the rotor current dynamic response (which may be obtained by minimizing the error between the rotor reference and measured currents) may reflect also in a better dynamic performance for the DFIG stator active power and terminal voltage. Besides that, the minimization of an additional term in the objective function that will be responsible for obtaining optimized responses for the magnitude of the rotor voltage may improve the dynamic behavior of other variables which are controlled by the grid side converter, as for example the rotor active power which is a function of the rotor voltage, as well as the dc-link voltage, and the current and reactive power of the grid-side converter. |
 |
| This way the global objective is to improve the DFIG dynamic behavior after the occurrence of faults in the electrical network enhancing the ride-through capability, voltage control, and also increasing the small-signal and transient stability margins of the power system. A measure that indicates if a good adjustment for the parameters of the rotor side converter has been achieved is given by the fitness function which is composed by the weighted sum of three objectives which will be minimized by the genetic algorithm optimization procedure: |
 |
| Where ω1,ω2 and ω3are weight factors. The gains obtained by the pole placement technique as described in [14], form one of the individuals of the GA initial population which may improve the convergence of the GAonce the evolutionary process is started with a good initial solution. |

Simulation results emphasis that the designed GA tuning fuzzy- PI controller is robust in its operation and gives a superb performance for the change in load. |
| In this paper, the advantages of the GA-Fuzzy-PI Controller with wind turbine used in the simulation are as follows: |
| 1. The Rise Time is reduced by 98% |
| 2. The Settling Time is reduced by 78.5% |
| 3. The Maximum Overshoot was reduced by 68.5% |
| The above results clearly indicates that a three phase induction motor fed from wind turbine using Genetic Algorithm based tuning of the Fuzzy-PI controller gives improved electromagnetic torque, rotor current & better speed performance which results a robust controlled system. The controller helps the induction motor to track speeds both above and below its base speed. |
