This paper proposes a power electronic module that uses a switched capacitor for retaining the integrity of the dc-link voltage of a variable speed drive (VSD) during a 0.2 s short-term power interruption (STPI). Ride-through was achieved through switched capacitor onto the dc bus. However, this technique presents a challenge of the high inrush currents during a ride through compensation. In this work both analytical and experimental investigations were conducted in order to reduce the in-rush currents and its impact on the performance of the VSD during the STPI. Inrush peak currents were reduced by approximately 90%. Experimental results showed torque pulsations of 12.8% and 14.3% at the start and end of dc-link voltage compensation, respectively. A method for sizing the switched capacitor and the inrush limiting resistors is proposed. This methodology is based on the use of readily available nameplate information of the VSD and the electric motor. The proposed module can be retrofitted to existing VSDs that are based on v/f control.

The present paper investigates the system behavior of a rectifier and a DC boost converter used in a wind generator with variable speed. In many cases a combination of diode rectifier and a DC boost converter is used as interface between the generator and the inverter in order to match the requirements for the DC bus voltage. Different models of the converters have been developed in Malab/Simulink and PSPICE environments. Comparison between the simulations and experiments is shown. The power losses are also discussed. .

This study implements the auto start control system on an electric motor 3 phase C4Feeding pump when the discharge pressure is low-low (4.3 kg /cm²). The C4 feeding pumpmotor was initially manually operated from the local control station, this was very ineffectiveand inefficient because it still relied on the field operator to operate the pump motor and whenthe plant was in normal operating it is very risk if the field operator late to operate motor then itwill impact to quality of the product, and if the delay time to operate motor is too long then planthave to shut down, therefore improvement is needed in the C4 feeding pump motor controlsystem. In this paper, various types of 3-phase motor control are explained which allow it to beapplied to the C4 feeding pump motor that are on-off, inverter, and variable speed drive andefficient selection of the three systems control of the motor. Software and hardware used in thisthesis work are DCS CENTUM VP Yokogawa.
