The article presents a method of generating key performance indicators related to electric motor energy efficiency on the basis of Big Data gathered and processed in a frequency converter. The authors proved that using the proposed solution, it is possible to specify the relation between the control mode of an electric drive and the control quality-energy consumption ratio in the start-up phase as well as in the steady operation with various mechanical loads. The tests were carried out on a stand equipped with two electric motors (one driving, the other used to apply the load by adjusting the parameters of the built-in brake). The measurements were made in two load cases, for motor control modes available in industrially applied frequency converters (scalar V/f, vector Voltage flux control without encoder, vector voltage flux control with encoder, vector current flux control, and vector current flux control with torque control). During the experiments, values of the current intensities (active and output), the actual frequency value, IxT utilization factor, relative torque, and the current rotational speed were measured and processed. Based on the data, the level of energy efficiency was determined for various control modes.

The article deals with the problems of increasing the multi-engine electric drive energy efficiency on the example of the cropped cord production line in manufacture of tires. There are requirements for line electric drives that can have an impact both each other and the overall power grid in the mode of technological braking, as well as the requirements for the availability of protection functions and mutual coordination with the mains supply. To solve this problem, options have been developed to build reversible frequency converters on fully controlled (locked) keys as part of frequency-regulated technological electric drives in the production of cord for car tires with energy recovery. The construction of the reversible frequency converter with the use of autonomous voltage inverters, as well as the results of computer simulations in the reactor and non-reactor circuits of reversible frequency converters in the composition of multi-motor electric drives with a total DC bus are shown.

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.

This paper introduces a novel sensorless model-predictive torque-flux control (MPTFC) for two-level inverter-fed induction motor (IM) drives to overcome the high torque ripples issue, which is evidently presented in model-predictive torque control (MPTC). The suggested control approach will be based on a novel modification for the adaptive full-order-observer (AFOO). Moreover, the motor is modeled considering core losses and a compensation term of core loss applied to the suggested observer. In order to mitigate the machine losses, particularly at low speed and light load operations, the loss minimization criterion (LMC) is suggested. A comprehensive comparative analysis between the performance of IM drive under conventional MPTC, and those of the proposed MPTFC approaches (without and with consideration of the LMC) has been carried out to confirm the efficiency of the proposed MPTFC drive. Based on MATLAB® and Simulink® from MathWorks® (2018a, Natick, MA 01760-2098 USA) simulation results, the suggested sensorless system can operate at very low speeds and has the better dynamic and steady-state performance. Moreover, a comparison in detail of MPTC and the proposed MPTFC techniques regarding torque, current, and fluxes ripples is performed. The stability of the modified adaptive closed-loop observer for speed, flux and parameters estimation methodology is proven for a wide range of speeds via Lyapunov’s theorem.

The variation of wind speed causes the electric power generated by the turbine also varies. To obtain maximum power, the rotor speed of wind turbines must be optimally rated. The rotor speed can be controlled by manipulating the torque from the generator; this method is called Torque Control. In that case, a DC-DC converter is needed as the control actuator. In this study, a buck converter-based supervisory control design was performed on the Horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT). Supervisory control is composed of two control loops arranged in cascade, and there is a formula algorithm as the supervisory level. The primary loop uses proportional control mode with a proportional gain of 0.3, whereas in the secondary loop using proportional-integral control mode with a proportional gain of 5.2 and an integral gain of 0.1. The Supervisory control has been implemented successfully and resulted in an average increase in turbine power of 4.1 % at 5 m s–1 and 10.58 % at 6 m s–1 and 11.65 % at 7 m s–1, compared to wind turbine systems without speed control.

В статье выполнен анализ способов компенсации высших гармоник в судовой сети единой электроэнергетической системы (ЕЭЭС), в составе которой, основным потребителей электроэнергии является система электродвижения (СЭД). Рассмотрены три схемы компенсации высших гармоник, создаваемых неуправляемыми выпрямителями, входящими в состав преобразователей частоты (ПЧ). Проведено компьютерное моделирование фрагмента структуры ЕЭЭС, запатентованной фирмой Siemens , схемы 18-пульсного выпрямителя, а также схемы с двумя 12-пульсными выпрямителями. Результаты моделирования показали, что в структуре ЕЭЭС фирмы Siemens , пропульсивный трансформатор обеспечивает компенсацию только части высших гармоник, из-за чего, искажения формы напряжения в судовой сети могут быть значительными. Схема, содержащая два 12-пульсных выпрямителя, а также трехфазный трансформатор с четырьмя трехфазными обмотками, имеющими сдвиг фаз на 15 электрических градусов, показала наилучшие показатели по качеству тока, обеспечивая эффективную компенсацию 5, 7, 11, 13 гармонических составляющих тока. Предложенная схема с двумя 12-пульсными выпрямителями позволяет в составе ПЧ применить трехуровневые автономные инверторы напряжения, характеризующиеся высоким качеством тока в обмотках гребного электродвигателя.The article analyzes the methods for compensating for higher harmonics in the ship network of the unified electric power system (UEPS), in which the main electric power consumers are electric propulsion systems (EPS). Three compensation schemes for higher harmonics created by uncontrolled rectifiers that are part of frequency converters are considered. Computer simulation of a fragment of the UEPS structure patented by Siemens, an 18-pulse rectifier circuit, and also circuits with two 12-pulse rectifiers were carried out. The simulation results showed that in the Siemens UEPS structure, a propulsive transformer provides compensation for only a part of the higher harmonics, due to which, voltage waveform distortions in the ship network can be significant. The circuit, containing two 12-pulse rectifiers, as well as a three-phase transformer with four three-phase windings having a phase shift of 15 electrical degrees, showed the best current quality indicators, providing effective compensation for 5, 7, 11, 13 harmonic components of the current. The proposed circuit with two 12-pulse rectifiers allows the use of three-level autonomous voltage inverters, which are characterized by high quality current in the windings of the propeller motor, as part of the frequency converter.
