The development and implementation of scientifically substantiated solutions for the improvement and modernization of electromechanical devices, systems, and complexes, including electric drives, is an urgent theoretical and applied task for energetics, industry, transport, and other key areas, both in global and national contexts. The aim of this paper is to identify a rational model of an induction motor that balances computational simplicity and control system performance based on predictive approaches while ensuring maximum energy efficiency and reference tracking during the operation in dynamic modes. Five main mathematical models of an induction machine with different levels of detail have been selected. Three predictive control models have been implemented using GRAMPC (v 2.2), Matlab MPC Toolbox (v 24.1), and fmincon (R2024a) (from Matlab Optimization Toolbox). It has been established that in the dynamic mode of operation, the equivalent induction motor circuit with parameters ,Rfe = const, Lμ = f(I1d), and TF = f(ωRm)  is the most appropriate in terms of the following criteria: accuracy of control action generation, computation speed, and calculation of energy consumption.
