This study carried out a comparative analysis of indicators of electricity consumption and CO2 emissions for four-pole induction motors (IMs) of efficiency classes IE3 and IE4 with a rated power of 2.2–200 kW in a variable speed pump unit. In addition, innovative IE4 converter-fed synchronous reluctance motors (SynRMs) were evaluated. The comparison was derived from the manufacturer’s specifications for the power drive systems (PDSs) at various rotational speeds and loads. The results showed that the emission indicators for IE3 class motors were significantly worse compared with IE4 class motors for low power ratings, which make up the vast majority of electric motors in service. This justifies expanding the mandatory power range for IE4 motors to at least 7.5–200 kW or even 0.75–200 kW, as it will dramatically contribute to the achievement of the new ambitious goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the operational advantages of IE4 SynRMs over IE4 IMs were demonstrated, such as their simpler design and manufacturing technology at a price comparable to that of IE3 IMs.

The analysis of torque-speed characteristics of induction motors has been carried out in order to choose the base design for variable speed traction electric drives of underground mine electric locomotives. For constant dimensions of active part of series-produced electric motors the influence of the diverse conductivity’s materials for manufacturing the squirrel-cage rotor on speed-torque and speed-current characteristics. The designs are compared according to speed-up dynamics, power indexes and key design features of the studied electric motors.

The paper presents a comparative analysis of energy consumption by 2.2 kW electric motors of various types and energy efficiency classes in the electric drive of a pump unit with throttle control in a water supply system. Line-start permanent-magnet synchronous motors of the IE4 energy efficiency class and induction motors of the IE4 and IE3 energy efficiency classes of various manufacturers were considered (IE4 and IE3 are labels of energy efficiency classes of electric motors according to IEC 60034-30-1 standard). Energy consumption at a hydraulic load changing under a typical duty cycle was calculated based on the nameplate data of the pump and electric motors. The developed method shows that selecting an electric motor based on the IE energy efficiency class under the IEC 60034-30-1 standard (i.e., based on efficiency at a rated load) may not provide the minimum energy consumption of a variable flow pump unit over a typical duty cycle. In particular, the considered IE4 class line-start permanent-magnet synchronous motors do not provide significant advantages over IE4 class induction motors, and sometimes even over IE3 class induction motors when they are used in variable flow pump units.

Almost 70% of the energy produced by the generator is consumed by electric motors. The use of induction motors in industry and factories is more profitable than DC or synchronous motors, one of the advantages is easy maintenance and high efficiency. On machines in the industry speed regulation is absolutely necessary. Along with the development of power electronics, this has become very easy to do, namely by supplying a motor with a variable speed drive (VSD) inverter. With the supply of a variable speed drive inverter, it is possible to adjust the motor speed by adjusting the voltage frequency.This study was conducted to determine the effect of decreasing the frequency using a variable speed drive inverter on the performance of a five-phase induction motor. Tests are carried out at a frequency of 50 Hz (grid frequency), 35, 40, 45, 50 Hz (inverter frequency) and the motor is loaded at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5Nm. From the research, it was concluded that, among others, the use of a variable speed drive inverter resulted in greater motor losses and the motor produced a louder sound. At the same frequency (50 Hz) the efficiency of the motor is better when supplied directly from the grid.

The authors present the study of synthesis methods for simulating the models of semiconductor rectifiers. Simulation of semiconductor rectifiers is quite studied today, but many authors carry out synthesis in their own unique way. The need to apply high technologies in variable speed drives with the development of mechanisms and working machines is growing, the automated variable speed drive is being introduced increasingly, making the energy substrate for aggregates and working machines. The relevance of this work is explained by the fact that currently developing technologies make it possible to manufacture more advanced semiconductor elements. The more relevant and significant is the study of refined digital models of electric drives containing semiconductor converters. This paper will summarize known approaches to the development of rectifiers’ digital models, as well as it will offer the authors’ own vision of this issue – taking into account as many individual features of semiconductor elements and the entire electric drive system as a whole as possible. The option proposed for consideration differs in that when developing in Matlab environment the parameters of real existing power elements and their digital analogues are consistent. The article also examines the issue of creating a digital model of the electric drive reverse system including a thyristor transducer and an engine; the transition characteristics of the refined model are illustrated. The result of this study is the analysis of different approaches to modeling semiconductor converters in electric drive systems. In this regard, a refined approach to modeling semiconductor rectifiers was considered, consisting of maximizing approximation of the model structure to real implementation, taking into account all elements, included in the structure of the ventilated electric drive. The study suggests that the developed simulation models can be used for the design of a real power converter in the conditions of a production enterprise.

Selecting, buying and installing an electric variable speed drive system (EVSDS) for a high power drive application is an activity with project character. It is not a product business. In order to bring the audience to the same level of understanding, there is a chapter with an overview of different VSDS technologies. This overview also gives our opinion of what a large AC drive should be capable of. In the main part of the paper we will review the project handling process. The stages of this process cover project planning, all phases of the drive order, operation, maintenance, servicing and upgrading if needed, up to dismantlement. Focus is set on those issues that have the greatest impact on the reliability of the drive. Besides state-of-the-art technology, two important preconditions are required for a successful application of variable speed drive systems. These are proper drive integration into the drive environment and standardization based on modular structures. By means of a case history we will report on a large AC drive project and the experience gained in this context. This paper is in particular addressed to application engineers and persons who are involved in selection and operation of large VSDSs (from a few megawatt to hundreds of megawatt).
