The paper compares the economic effect of using capacitors in fixed speed drives of a pumping station when using energy-efficient motors of various types. Induction motors of IE2 and IE3 energy efficiency classes, a direct-on-line synchronous motor with a permanent magnet in the rotor, and a direct-on-line synchronous reluctance motor are considered. The comparison takes into account not only the efficiency of the motors, but also their power factor, on which the losses in the cable and transformer depend. The possibility of using static capacitors to compensate for the reactive power of motors and reduce the losses is also considered. The feasibility analysis takes into account that the motors have different initial costs. The cost of capacitors is also taken into consideration. The analysis shows that the use of static capacitors can have a significant impact on the comparison between different motors in this application. Without considering capacitors, the permanent magnet motor has the shortest payback period, otherwise the synchronous reluctance motor has the shortest payback period.

Im Rahmen des vom Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Energie (BMWi) geförderten Projekts „ETA-Fabrik“ am Institut für Produktionsmanagement, Technologie und Werkzeugmaschinen (PTW) der Technischen Universität Darmstadt konnte die Energieeffizienz von Motorspindeln als Hauptenergieverbraucher von Werkzeugmaschinen durch Einsatz der Synchronreluktanztechnologie gesteigert werden. In der Konsequenz ergeben sich weitere Energieeinsparpotenziale und produktionstechnische Vorteile durch eine gesamtenergetische Betrachtung der Werkzeugmaschine mit Kühlsystem und intelligentem Spindelthermomanagement.   As part of the ‘ETA-Fabrik’ project funded by the BMWi, the Institute of Production Management, Technology and Machine Tools (PTW) of the TU Darmstadt has used synchronous reluctance drives to increase the energy efficiency of motor spindles as main energy consumers of machine tools. Subsequently, new opportunities for energy savings and advantages for the manufacturing process arise by taking a holistic view on machine tools including the cooling system, proposing an intelligent spindle thermal management.

In this paper, a simplified efficient method for sensorless finite set current predictive control (FSCPC) for synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) based on extended Kalman filter (EKF) is proposed. The proposed FSCPC is based on reducing the computation burden of the conventional FSCPC by using the commanded reference currents to directly calculate the reference voltage vector (RVV). Therefore, the cost function is calculated for only three times and the necessity to test all possible voltage vectors will be avoided. For sensorless control, EKF is composed to estimate the position and speed of the rotor. Whereas the performance of the proposed FSCPC essentially necessitates the full knowledge of SynRM parameters and provides an insufficient response under the parameter mismatch between the controller and the motor, online parameter estimation based on EKF is combined in the proposed control strategy to estimate all parameters of the machine. Furthermore, for simplicity, the parameters of PI speed controller and initial values of EKF covariance matrices are tuned offline using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). To demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed control, it is implemented in MATLAB/Simulink and tested under different operating conditions. Simulation results show high robustness and reliability of the proposed drive.
