Asynchronous Electric Motor

In the modern oil industry, the vast majority of oil production units are represented by sucker rod pumping units, driven mainly by asynchronous electric motors without using any monitoring, control and regulation means. Studies carried out on such installations show their low energy efficiency and reliability. Therefore, the issue of developing complex electric drives of a new generation based on the use of synchronous valve electric motors is relevant allowing to significantly increase the energy efficiency and reliability of both individual installations and to ensure the creation of "smart" oil field control systems. The paper discusses new technical solutions of the experimental stand which makes it possible to study the energy characteristics of electric drives based on asynchronous and synchronous valve electric motors, as well as allowing to create conditions as close as possible to real field conditions with imitation of the operation of an oil pumping unit of a sucker rod pumping unit. In modern test equipment systems, devices are often used to create a mechanical load on the shaft of the electric motor under study. The system proposed and implemented as such a device is "a frequency converter - load asynchronous electric motor", which has been tested on a stand and has proven to be the best in comparison with traditional circuits using DC motors. But using of a load asynchronous electric motor as part of the test stand has revealed a number of disadvantages: overheating of the electric motor operating in the opposing mode, low accuracy of creating the load torque and the speed of the system's response. The problem of overheating of the load electric motor has been solved by transferring the frequency converter to the direct torque control mode, while a significant decrease in the motor current and stabilization of the temperature regime have been detected. The low accuracy and response speed of the system have been increased by introducing feedback and a PID controller into the stand control system.

Mine drainage systems, which are used at the main drainage of mining enterprises, have a drive capacity of up to 1600kW. To reduce non-productive energy losses, as well as for the continuous operation of the mining company, mine pumps must be energy efficient and reliable. Analysis of downtime of drainage systems shows that the weak point is the unloading device. This fact can lead not only to the failure of the pumping unit, but also to possible prolonged downtime of the mine. The main disadvantage of the existing disk unloading devices of mine pumps is their low reliability and low service life, due to the rapid wear of the components of the unloading unit. The most vulnerable elements of the unloading device are the unloading rings. The need for frequent replacement and adjustment of the elements of the discharge unit is associated with disassembly and assembly of the pump directly in the pump chamber. Such actions require significant costs of unproductive manual labor of service personnel, and rapid wear of parts of the unloading device necessitates their constant replenishment. Malfunctions in the unloading device can cause significant pump failures. To increase the reliability and energy efficiency of mine drainage systems, the method of control of the unloading device was used. During the experimental studies it was found that cavitation phenomena during the operation of pumping units are absent and, accordingly, can not be the cause of wear of the elements of the unloading unit. When the pumps are operating in steady state, the displacement of the rotors was monitored for 3-4 hours on each pump unit. After data processing, it was obtained that the wear of the surface of the unloading rings occurs at a rate of 0.05-0.15mm in one hour. To determine the wear of the rings of unloading during start-up - stop of the pump, at first the indicators of measuring devices at the established mode of operation of the pump unit were fixed. Then the pump was turned off and on again. After starting the pump unit, we made sure that the operating mode of the unloading device did not change and compared the readings of the shaft position indicator before stopping and after starting the pump. From the measurements made it followed that stopping and starting the pump does not lead to noticeable wear of the unloading device. Therefore, it can be assumed that mainly the wear of the discharge rings occurs during the steady operation of the pump unit.

This paper gives the results of the investigation of the operation of a pumping unit equipped with a frequency converter. As a rule, it is widely assumed that when changing the speed up to 50 %, the pump efficiency almost does not change, and the possibility of decrease of its efficiency is not taken into consideration when calculating the economic efficiency of the operation of the pumping unit equipped with a frequency converter. However, failure to take account the efficiency decrease may cause inaccurate assessment of the economic efficiency of the use of the frequency converter and, consequently, improper selection of the method of control of the operation of the pumping units. This is particularly important for irrigation pumping plants the operation of which is characterized by large volume of the pumpable volume and less severe requirements for provision of the water pressure required for the consumer. The purpose of this paper is to carry out experiments on a test-bed equipped with a pumping unit, parameter measuring instrument, and a frequency converter, and detection of the pattern of efficiency variation with speed. The paper presents the results of the carried out experiments, the obtained characteristic curves of the variation of different types of the efficiency at variation of the pump shaft speed, as well as their analysis.

Due to its low fat and calorie content, chicken meat is popular among non-vegetarians all over the world. The design, fabrication, and performance evaluation of a chicken de-feathering machine using locally available materials are described in this paper. The design calculations were done correctly to guarantee the right shaft diameter, as this might impact the machine's efficiency. The machine uses rubber fingers to do the actual removal of the feathers. The rubber fingers are attached to a rotating plate against a stationary plucking basin carrying protruding rubber fingers. From the analysis, a 1.0 H.P electric motor is required to drive the machine and this was used to drive the machine. Following the design and fabrication of the machine, three different types of chickens were used to test its performance. The chickens were immersed in hot water between 60 and 90 degrees Celsius and held between the 40s and 60s. The machine removed feathers without any major damage to the chickens. At each trial, the efficiency was calculated. In conclusion, the machine performed efficiently and effectively, leaving behind products that are readily marketable.

According to the research results, the target functions of the task of optimizing the functioning of the units according to the criteria of the regime reliability, depending on the flow of the working fluid were synthesized, which made it possible to research the influence of the regime on the reliability of operation of electric and hydraulic subsystems of the pump unit. The extreme weight of local target functions of regime reliability of electric motor and the centrifugal pump in various (especially low-flow rate) operating modes are determined. It is proposed to optimize the operating modes of  pumping units of oil pumping station with the simultaneous use of the reliability criteria of electric drive and centrifugal pump. . It was established that the maximum values of reliability of electric drive and centrifugal pump are achieved at different values of the load, which requires the involvement of multi-criteria optimization methods. The problem of optimization of the established modes of the pump unit in the multicriteria setting, taking into account the technological limitations of its subsystems was formalized. The analysis of modern methods of solving the problem of multicriteria optimization of the steady modes of operation of pump units is carried out. The method of solving the multicriterion optimization problem is substantiated, which fully takes into account the influence of operation mode on the reliability of electric and hydraulic subsystems of pumping unit. It is revealed that the most appropriate method for solving this problem is the method of approaching an ideal (utopian) point in the criteria space. With this method, the desired ratio of criteria at the optimum point is the best. The value of the "agreed optimum" of liquid flow has been determined in order to choose the optimum for the reliability of operation mode of the pumping unit of oil pumping station.

Одним из значимых принципов для обеспечения гидравлической эффективности проточной части безвального совмещенного насоса-электродвигателя, а также технологичности производства рабочих колес с подобной проточной частью является применение при ее проектировании линейчатых поверхностей. С использованием линейчатых поверхностей построена цифровая модель проточной части, для нее определен эффективный диапазон основных геометрических параметров. На основе принципов построения линейчатых поверхностей и задания критериев гидравлической эффективности разработаны граничные условия, позволяющие проводить натурные испытания на более поздних этапах создания безвального насосного агрегата. С учетом вариативности отдельных геометрических параметров проточной части проведена оценка их влияния на гидравлические характеристики проточной части. Комбинации гидравлических параметров цифровой модели, обеспечивающие максимальную эффективность безвального насосного агрегата, позволяют наиболее точно создавать опытные образцы для натурных испытаний. One of the significant principles for ensuring the hydraulic efficiency of the flow section of a shaftless combined pump-electric motor, as well as the manufacturability of impellers with such flow section is the use of linear surfaces in its design. A digital model of the flow section was developed using linear surfaces, and the effective range of the main geometrical parameters was determined for it. Based on the principles of building linear surfaces and setting hydraulic efficiency criteria, boundary conditions have been developed to allow full-scale tests at later stages of creating a shaftless pumping unit. Taking into account the variability of some geometrical parameters of the flow section, their influence on the hydraulic characteristics of the flow section was evaluated. Combinations of hydraulic parameters of the digital model that ensure maximum efficiency of the shaftless pumping unit allow the most accurate creation of prototypes for subsequent full-scale tests.

High Switching Frequency

The use of static frequency converters, which have a high switching frequency, generates voltage pulses with a high rate of change over time. In combination with cable and motor impedance, this generates repetitive overvoltage at the motor terminals, influencing the occurrence of partial discharges between conductors, causing degradation of the insulation of electric motors. Understanding the effects resulting from the frequency converter–electric motor interaction is essential for developing and implementing insulation systems with characteristics that support the most diverse applications, have an operating life under economically viable conditions, and promote energy efficiency. With this objective, a search was carried out in three recognized databases. Duplicate articles were eliminated, resulting in 1069 articles, which were systematically categorized and reviewed, resulting in 481 articles discussing the causes of degradation in the insulation of electric motors powered by frequency converters. A bibliographic portfolio was built and evaluated, with 230 articles that present results on the factors that can be used in estimating the life span of electric motor insulation. In this structure, the historical evolution of the collected information, the authors who conducted the most research on the theme, and the relevance of the knowledge presented in the works were considered.
