  Optimal control of magnetizing current for minimizing induction motor power
losses during load torque step change was developed. Obtained strategy has
feedback form and is exactly optimal of ideal speed controller performance and
absence of saturation in motor. The impact of limited bandwidth of real speed
controller is analyzed. For case of main induction saturation the sub-optimal
optimal control is suggested. Relative accuracy of sub-optimality is studied.
Hardware implementation of optimal strategy and experimentation conducted with
induction motors under vector control.
