Abstract: 
This paper exhibits performance enhancement of PWM AC chopper fed capacitor run induction motor by using optimization algorithm. The PWM AC chopper utilizes enhanced asymmetrical pulse width modulation technique by incorporating four pulses in quarter cycle. The switching instants are obtained optimally by bacteria foraging optimization, particle swarm optimization and cuckoo search optimization algorithm. The power quality parameters considered in this paper are total harmonic distortion of current, total harmonic distortion of voltage, power factor and efficiency. The simulation result shows that proposed algorithm shows better performance compared to other optimization techniques.
