The author showed that it was possible to reduce the exhaust gases toxicity and increase tractors effi ciency using an electric power unit to implement traction. The effi ciency of modern electric motors was at its peak of 96 percent, compared to 45 for a diesel engine. He emphasized that this parameter for modern sources of electrical energy was 85-90 percent, which opened up opportunities for the implementation of an electric tractor.(Research purpose) To present the general concept of an electric drive power unit for a tractor of a small traction class and to evaluate its parameters as a fi rst approximation.(Materials and methods) For the tractor’s electric drive lithium-ion batteries were chosen as a source of electrical energy, showing the best characteristics of energy intensity – 432-864 kilojoule per kilogram with a unit cost of 4200-17400 rubles per kilogram. During the analyses of the power unit drive types, a D-120 diesel engine with a power of 20 kilowatt, a DC electric motor and an asynchronous motor with similar parameters were studied. The VTZ-2032 tractor with a nominal tractive eff ort of 600 Newtons when working on stubble was taken as the basis for the calculation.(Results and discussion) The author determined the best indicators of the electric drive by the power characteristics fullness in the gears with a decrease in unit costs per kWh from 24 to 15-16 rubles.(Conclusions) The most effi cient engine was determined – a brushless DC electric motor. The author calculated that the specifi c cost of its energy was 1.5-1.8 times less than that of a diesel engine, and amounted to 15-27 rubles per kilowatt-hour with a maximum effi ciency of 95 percent. It was found that lithium-ion batteries would be the optimal solution for powering the electric drive. They were distinguished by a high specifi c energy consumption – 432-864 kilojoule per kilogram – and a low price per energy unit, amounting to 5-45 rubles per kilojoule.

Slip Detection

This article illustrates a technique for tracking longitudinal wheel slips in real time using an embedded microcontroller to map current consumption against real-time current consumed by the engine. This system can be used and operated separately of each other on more than one wheel. To detect wheel slippage, a predefined slip curve mapped to a specific DC electric motor is mapped against the current consumed by the same operational motors. This paper also recommends a convenient control algorithm to calculate its slippage of the wheel in real time. This approach is implemented using distinct load and terrain on a planetary exploration robot.

Purpose. The paper analyzes the system and methods of starting synchronous electric motors of fans of the main ventilation of iron ore mines. It is concluded that it is necessary to modernize the method of starting a synchronous electric motor, despite the fact that the installed direct start-up system has a number of disadvantages, and negatively affects the energy indicators of the electromechanical complex of the main ventilation fan of mines. The priority direction in solving the complex of the above problems is the use of modern achievements in the field of semiconductor conversion technology, in terms of the development of effective circuits and methods for starting and controlling a synchronous electric drive. Originality. The method of separate regulation of size and frequency of output voltage of the multilevel converter of a clock at quasi-frequency start of the synchronous electric drive is offered, limits admissible values of starting currents to admissible values. Methodology. Simulation of transient processes of starting a synchronous electric motor with step-by-step changes in voltage and frequency of supply, which made it possible to determine the energy efficiency of this method. Result. A new method of starting with a step-by-step change in the voltage and frequency of a synchronous motor is proposed. The modeling of the proposed starting method for a synchronous electric motor with a fan torque on the motor shaft was carried out, while it allowed to get rid of the main drawback, namely, a large starting current and made it possible to increase the energy efficiency of the electromechanical complex of the main ventilation fans due to the fact that the consumed active energy during start-up will decrease approximately 50% compared to a direct starting system. Practical value. The proposed method and the obtained results of the study made it possible to prove that the effectiveness of the proposed method is very high and this will save most of the electrical energy when starting the fans of the main ventilation of iron ore mines.

The Cost

It is impossible to imagine any modern mechanism in any field of technology that has not been driven by an automated electric drive. In the electric drive, the main element that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy is an electric motor, which is controlled by converters and control devices in order to form static and dynamic characteristics of the electric drive that meet the requirements of the production mechanism. Equipment for the production and use of compressed air is universal and safe, it is widely used in modern industry. Compressed air is used as a source of energy, a medium for cleaning (purging), a means of transportation and even as a source of cold. Air compressors make up more than 80% of the total compressor fleet. Compressed air production and distribution systems in industry consume up to 10% of electricity. Unfortunately, there is an opinion that compressed air is cheap, although only 5-10% of the consumed electricity is spent on useful mechanical work. The cost of producing compressed air is 5-15% of the cost of production, and for some industries reach 30% or more. Reciprocating, centrifugal, and in recent years screw compressors have been widely used as air compression machines. In agricultural production, compressors are used to supply air and gases of the main or by-products of the technological cycle. These machines are common in gas supply systems. Compressors are also widely used in gas turbines. The laboratory stand for research of the piston compressor is modernized. On the basis of technical and economic indicators the electric drive system is selected, the electric motor is calculated and selected, it is checked with heating, overload capacity and start-up conditions, characteristics in statistical and dynamic modes are investigated, and also electric schemes of SAEP of the main lifting mechanism are developed. To verify the correctness of the adopted design methods, modeling was performed in Matlab.

Lithium-ion batteries are widely used as basic power supplies and storage units for large-scale electric drive products such as electric vehicles. Their reliability is directly related to the life and safe operation of the electric drive products. In fact, the cells have a dependent relationship with the degradation process and they affect the degradation rate of the entire battery pack, thereby affecting its reliability. At present, most research focuses on the reliability of battery packs and assumes that their cells are independent of each other, which may cause the reliability of the evaluation to deviate greatly from the actual level. In order to accurately assess the reliability of lithium-ion batteries, it is necessary to build a reliability model considering the dependency among cells for the overall degradation of lithium-ion battery packs. Therefore, in this study, based on a lithium-ion battery degradation test, the Wiener process is used to analyze the reliability of four basic configurations of lithium-ion battery packs. According to the degradation data of the battery packs, the Copula function is used to quantitatively describe the dependent relationship in the degradation process of a single battery, and the quantitative dependent relationship is combined with the reliability model to form a new reliability model. Finally, taking the battery system of Tesla S as an example, a feasible optimization method for battery pack design is provided based on the model constructed in this work.
