Abstract

This article addresses the problem of increasing the energy efficiency of electromechanical systems driven by asynchronous electric drives. In this context, one of the promising areas is the application of a predictive control strategy that allows for reducing energy losses in dynamic modes of electric drives. This paper proposes a computerised method for the multiparameter optimisation of predictive control algorithms for asynchronous electric drives. A computer model was designed in MATLAB and Simulink R2024a based on the gradient-based model predictive control strategy. A series of simulation experiments were carried out by varying the sampling step, number of iterations, prediction horizon, loss function parameters, and maximum linear search step to identify their impact on the control quality indicators. A taxonomic approach was used for multi-criteria optimisation. The study results show that the optimal setting of the algorithmic parameters improves the accuracy of task processing, reduces energy consumption, and reduces computation time. The results obtained can be used to design and operate energy-efficient control systems for asynchronous electric drives in industrial and transport applications. Prospects for further research will focus on hybrid intelligent architectures to enhance adaptability and integration into automated systems.
