When designing an automated electric drive, it is required to provide the necessary quality indicators of speed control as much as possible with the lowest energy losses in it. Assessment of dynamic losses in power semiconductor switches of autonomous voltage inverters (AVI) is due to the need to select optimal control algorithms for them in order to increase energy efficiency in frequency-controlled asynchronous electric drive systems. To solve the set tasks, the method of mathematical modeling has been used. With the help of the developed program, an assessment of the dynamic losses in a high-speed electric drive during its operation in a steady state has been made. At a typical modulation frequency f = 6,000 Hz, which with scalar control algorithms provides a sufficient degree of approximation of the generated phase voltage envelopes to a sinusoidal form, and the use of pulse-width control (WIR) algorithms, significant dynamic losses are observed in the switches of an autonomous voltage inverter. In the course of using the WID algorithms, an accurate approximation of the sinusoidal shape is not required, which makes it possible to reduce the modulation frequency and, as a consequence, reduce the amount of dynamic losses in the AVI keys. Therefore, a comparative assessment of dynamic losses has been carried out for the scheme of a classic three-phased AVI using the algorithms of unipolar and bipolar pulse-width control. The obtained simulation results have shown that the unipolar WID algorithm is more energy-saving compared to the bipolar WID algorithm when used in high-speed electric drives.

To stabilize the phase position of the working body of the robotics complex a single-circuit precision electric drive system was developed based on the principle of phase-locked loop. The direct-driven electric drive is made on the basis of brushless direct current motor, which is switched to synchronous mode with minimal discrepancy between the phases of the reference signals and the pulse speed sensor. The phase error signal is fed to the input of the PID controller, which controls the pulse width modulation of the impulses controlling the operation of the power transistors of the autonomous voltage inverter. In a static mode, the control system of the autonomous voltage inverter implements a sinusoidal law of the pulse width modulation of the output pulses. The PID controller and the control system of the autonomous voltage inverter are programmatically implemented on the basis of the controller. In the process of analysing of the stabilization accuracy, the synchronous motor is represented by a second-order linear link, which establishes a relation between the phase deviations of the motor rotor and the stator magnetic field. The autonomous voltage inverter is represented by a zero-order hold whose coefficient of amplification on amplitude is found by the results of the approximation of its output voltage using the Walsh-Fourier series. The analysis of the phase stabilization process is performed on the basis of the state variables method taking into account the perturbations at the moment of load using the program which implements the recurrent procedure. The settings of the PID controller are determined by the variation results when the moment of load changes. Their initial values ​​are determined as a result of optimizing the system in terms of operation speed considering the condition of finite duration processes. It is assumed that there is no moment of load perturbation. The procedure for setting the PID controller parameters to the optimal operation speed mode can also be performed on the basis of neural networks. As a result of the calculations, it was found that with an increase of the load moment by 5%, the maximum deviation of the rotor phase was 0.22 us and 0.03 us of minimum deviation respectively.

An integrated high-speed valve switching and pump output control scheme are developed for precision maneuvering of underwater vehicles. High-speed Coanda-effect valves combined with a centrifugal pump allow for precise control of thrust force using a unique pulse width modulation (PWM) control scheme, where both pulse width and pulse height are controlled in a coordinated manner. Dead zones and other complex nonlinear dynamics of traditional propeller thrusters and water jet pumps are avoided with use of the integrated pump-valve control. Three control algorithms for coordinating valve switching and pump output are presented. A simplified nonlinear hydrodynamic model of underwater vehicles is constructed, and design trade-offs between PWM frequency and pulse height, with regard to steady state oscillations, are addressed. The control algorithms are implemented on a prototype underwater vehicle and the theoretical results are verified through experiments.

The specific features relating to voltage control of power transformers at distribution network transformer substations are considered. An approach to implementing high-speed on-load voltage control of serially produced 10/0.4 kV power transformers by using a solid-state on-load tap changer (SOLTC) is presented. An example of the SOLTC circuit solution on the basis of thyristor switches is given. On-load voltage control algorithms for power transformers equipped with SOLTC that ensure high reliability and high-speed operation are proposed. The SOLTC performance and the operability of the suggested voltage control algorithms were studied by simulation in the Matlab/Simulink environment and by experiments on the SOLTC physical model. The structure and peculiarities of the used simulation Matlab model are described. The SOLTC physical model design and its parameters are presented. The results obtained from the simulating the SOLTC operation on the Matlab model and from the experiments on the SOLTS physical model jointly with a power transformer under different loads and with using different control algorithms are given. An analysis of the experimental study results has shown the soundness of the adopted technical solutions. It has been demonstrated that the use of an SOLTC ensures high-speed voltage control, high efficiency and reliability of its operation, and arcless switching of the power transformer regulating taps without load voltage and current interruption. By using the SOLTC operation algorithms it is possible to perform individual phase voltage regulation in a three-phase 0.4 kV distribution network. The possibility of integrating SOLTC control and diagnostic facilities into the structure of modern digital substations based on the digital interface according to the IEC 61850 standard is noted.
