Most of the manufacturing machines employ an induction motor in their driving system. A number of induction motors must be controlled during machine operation. The more accurately these motors are controlled the higher is the quality of the finished product. Approach: This study focuses on using the Bee Colony Optimization (BCO) to find optimal fuzzy rules and membership functions of a fuzzy speed controller for an indirect field-orientated Induction Motor (IM). The BCO optimizes those quantities so that the controller can control the motor to a desired speed with the minimum rise time and speed error. The fitness function of BCO is defined as rise time and Integral Time Absolute Error (ITAE). An indirect field-orientation method for an IM drive and a description of the BCO are introduced briefly. Results: The speed tracking capability of the Proportional-Integral (PI), fuzzy and BCO optimized fuzzy controllers are compared under no-load and various load conditions with different reference speeds. Conclusion: The designed controller could track to the set point with a relatively minimum rise time and low overshoot compared to the other conventional controllers.}, journal = {American Journal of Applied Sciences}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
