Method of Selecting Energy-Efficient Parameters of an Electric Asynchronous Traction Motor for Diesel Shunting Locomotives—Case Study on the Example of a Locomotive Series ChME3 (ЧMЭ3, ČME3, ČKD S200)

One of the assumptions made during the modernization process of diesel shunting locomotives is the replacement of a diesel traction motor with a DC generator with an electric asynchronous traction motor. The article aimed to develop a method of selecting energy-efficient parameters of an asynchronous electric traction motor for diesel shunting locomotives, which will ensure that its operating energy efficiency will be as high as possible. The method was verified on the example of a locomotive series ChME3 (ЧMЭ3, ČME3, ČKD S200). It has been found that using a traction asynchronous electric drive on a ChME3 locomotive, its efficiency increases in comparison with DC electric motors by 3–5% under the long-term operation modes and by 7–10% during locomotive operation with traction at the adhesion limit. Using a new traction gearbox with a higher gear ratio expands the speed range in which the asynchronous traction drive operates with a high-efficiency factor. It is effective to use a traction asynchronous electric drive to modernize ChME3 diesel locomotives in case of their use under the modes requiring the implementation of maximum traction forces at low speeds. A further increase in the efficiency of the traction asynchronous electric drive is possible based on the optimal design of the wheel-motor unit and the asynchronous traction electric drive.

Modeling the system of a dovetailless asynchronous electric drive for conveyor mechanisms

The article considers a vector control system for asynchronous electric drive of belt conveyors, which uses an adaptive observer to control the speed of the electric drive. This allows you to increase the reliability and inter-interval maintenance of the electric drive. The requirements for the observer are determined, its mathematical description is made, and the law of adaptation is determined. In the Matlab Simulink package, a computer simulation of the proposed sensor-free control system is performed. A study of the robustness of the actuator in terms of the drift of the parameters of the motor when powered from the inverter, expressed by the integral criterion for parametric robustness. Based on the results obtained, a comparison is made and conclusions are drawn about the advantages and disadvantages of using an adaptive observer in comparison with other types of observers.

CALCULATION OF TRACTION AND ENERGY CHARACTERISTICS ELECTRIC ROLLING STOCK WITH ASYNCHRONOUS TRACTION ELECTRIC DRIVE

The issue of determining the traction and energy characteristics of electric rolling stock with asynchronous traction drive is considered. It is noted that such rolling stock can work at any point of the traction area, resulting in the need to determine the characteristics of the rolling stock for the entire traction area. The calculation of the characteristics of the traction induction motor, which are the basis for determining the traction and energy characteristics of the electric rolling stock, is considered in detail. A procedure based on the calculation of the replacement circuit of an induction motor is proposed. The calculation of power losses due to higher harmonic voltages and currents is considered. An example of calculation of traction and energy characteristics of an DC electric shunting locomotive with a traction asynchronous electric drive is given.

METHOD OF VECTOR PRIVATE CONTROL OF ASYNCHRONOUS ELECTRIC DRIVE

Анализируется проблематика векторного частотного управления асинхронным электроприводом, широко применяемым в качестве исполнительного элемента в рамках современных средств построения обрабатывающих комплексов, разрабатываемых в машиностроительной отрасли. Предлагается вариант частотно-регулируемого асинхронного электропривода, управляемыми величинами которого являются полярные координаты вектора тока в обмотке статора. В данном варианте применяется закон управления, согласно которому угол между векторами тока в обмотке статора и потокосцеплением обмотки ротора не меняется. Управление скоростью вращения электропривода и электромагнитным моментом реализуется заданием модуля тока обмотки статора. При этом формирование угла поворота вектора тока обмотки статора, зависящего от модуля величины потокосцепления роторной обмотки и значения скольжения асинхронного двигателя, дает возможность сохранять постоянным угол между векторами тока обмотки статора и потокосцеплением обмотки ротора, что, в свою очередь, реализует направленное формирование переходных процессов в асинхронном двигателе. Рассматриваемый вариант частотно-регулируемого асинхронного электропривода может найти применение в производственных механизмах, в которых быстродействие не является определяющим критерием функционирования привода, а важно плавное регулирование электромагнитного момента и возможность его ограничения во всех режимах работы. Данный способ управления характеризуется тем, что электромагнитный момент определяется исключительно модулем тока обмотки статора, а контур регулирования скольжения используется для реализации закона поддерживания постоянства угла между током обмотки статора и потокосцеплением обмотки ротора The article analyzes the problems of vector frequency control of asynchronous electric drive, widely used as an executive element in the framework of modern means of constructing processing complexes developed in the machine-building industry. Here we propose a variant of a frequency-controlled asynchronous electric drive, in which the polar coordinates of the current vector in the stator winding are the controlled quantities. In this variant, the control law is applied, according to which the angle between the current vectors in the stator winding and the flow coupling of the rotor winding does not change. The control of the speed of rotation of the electric drive and the electromagnetic torque is realized by setting the current module of the stator winding. At the same time, the formation of the angle of rotation of the current vector of the stator winding, depending on the modulus of the magnitude of the flow coupling of the rotor coil and the sliding value of the asynchronous motor, makes it possible to keep the angle between the current vectors of the stator winding and the flow coupling of the rotor winding constant, which in turn implements the directional formation of transients in the asynchronous motor. The considered variant of a frequency-controlled asynchronous electric drive can be used in production mechanisms in which speed is not a determining criterion for the operation of the drive, but smooth regulation of the electromagnetic torque and the possibility of its limitation in all operating modes is important. This control method is characterized by the fact that the electromagnetic moment is determined exclusively by the current module of the stator winding, and the slip control circuit is used to implement the law of maintaining the constancy of the angle between the current of the stator winding by the flow coupling of the rotor winding

Dependence of the spectral components of the stator current on damage in the electric motor

Safety and fail-safety of production processes largely depend on the technical condition of machine assemblies that play a key role in production. The main drive mechanism of machine assemblies is an asynchronous electric drive with a squirrel-cage rotor. Damage to any part of the electric motor reduces the performance and service life of the machine. Malfunctions resulting from normal wear and tear, errors in maintenance and design, harmful environmental influences and other factors must be identified and eliminated in a timely manner. In this regard, the analysis of the condition of the electric motor and the prediction of damage plays a major role in increasing the reliability and increasing the service life of the equipment. This article will consider the regularities of the spectral components of the stator current of an electric motor from the mode of failure.

Energy-efficient variable frequency asynchronous electric drive

Currently, there are quite a large number of various scientific papers on the creation of a controlled asynchronous engine and the optimization of its modes, and the availability of acceptable results for practical implementation, but there is still no single generally accepted approach to solving the problem. In this regard, the issue of synthesis of scalar control systems that provide the minimum value of one or another criterion of energy efficiency is relevant. In this paper, we consider the obtained mathematical model of an asynchronous engine (AE), which differs from the known ones in that the parameters of the substitution scheme are expressed in terms of the stator and rotor conductivities. The energy characteristics of the AE in the sliding function are obtained, which make it possible to determine the dependences of the active and reactive components of the AE current and the possibility of their redistribution within the nominal value of the AE phase current. The principle of optimal frequency-current control of AE is formulated, which differs from the known ones in that, as an energy efficiency indicator, the value of the maximum energy efficiency of AE is used, expressed as the ratio of the active resistance of the rotor circuit to the total conductivity of the AE phase.
