• AC Kinetics

    AC Kinetics developed proprietary motor drive software that increases AC induction motor performance and energy efficiency simultaneously, overcoming a major industry roadblock. The algorithms run in real time on standard hardware for consumer, industrial, and transportation motorized equipment.

Your concept makes the final step to simultaneously achieve fast torque response and ensure optimal efficiency operation at each time instant of the switched PWM frequency. Since this innovation merely adds steps to the computer code, it promises to be a low cost addition which could achieve appreciable energy savings for the user. Clearly, I believe this is what the industry has been waiting for.–Dr. Thomas A. Lipo

After reviewing the AC Kinetics runtime algorithms and observing the performance that these algorithms produce, I can say with confidence that the AC Kinetics induction machine controller produces very substantial energy savings as well as excellent tracking performance. Their approach is entirely different from anything that I'd seen before. I was very impressed.
