        Today, most energy consumption in industry is related to induction motors. Evaluation of induction motor’s efficiency is an important issue for life estimation, extend the life and energy saving managements. Using the estimated efficiency of the induction motor, its performance can be judged and replacing the existing low efficiency motor by a high efficiency motor could be decided. In this paper, a novel and efficient method based on Modified Artificial Bee Colony (MABC) Algorithm is presented for efficiency estimation in the induction motors. The main advantage of the proposed method is efficiency evaluation of induction motor without any intrusive test. In order to demonstrate the capabilities of the proposed method, a comparison with other intelligent optimization algorithms is performed. Then, one of the important applications of efficiency estimation, which replaces the high efficiency induction motors instead of conventional motors, is discussed. The results of the calculation of energy savings show that if a standard motor is replaced with a high efficiency motor, energy savings will be significant. Manuscript profile
