The operation of an AC induction motor 24 is controlled in response to the actual slip exhibited by the motor during operation. The slip of the motor 24 may be determined by determining the actual running speed, n, of the motor shaft 25A, measuring the line frequency, ns, of the electricity supplied to the motor, and calculating the slip, S, of the motor using the relationship: S=((ns−n) / ns)*100. If the slip is too high when compared to a predetermined maximum acceptable slip, corrective action is taken to decrease the loading on the motor. If the slip is too low when compared to a predetermined minimum acceptable slip, corrective action is taken to increase the loading on the motor. By adjusting the operation of the system by appropriately changing the load on the motor, or changing the electrical supply parameters, the actual slip exhibited by the motor 24 is returned to a value within the range between the minimum acceptable slip and the maximum acceptable slip, thereby protecting the motor and improving overall reliability.

A simple and robust discrete-time induction motor control technique employs a control algorithm that estimates load torque and rotor resistance from the measured rotor velocity of the motor to be controlled. The estimates of load torque and rotor resistance are employed to generate periodic estimates of parameters that are employed to control first and second harmonic signal generators.

In an adaptive version, it provides identification and global exponential stabilization of the system.
