Features of calculation of characteristics of the compensated induction motor in the matlab simulink software environment

An asynchronous electric motor with a short-circuited rotor is the most common means of converting electrical energy into mechanical energy in the electric drive of working machines in industry and agriculture. Modern methods of increasing the energy efficiency of induction motors with short-circuited rotor are aimed at finding with the help of computer technology the optimal solutions in the processes of their design, production and operation using new high-performance materials in machines. Such methods do not change the physical processes occurring in the induction motor, ie are passive. However, despite numerous improvements and scientific achievements, technical and economic indicators of induction motors still do not meet modern energy requirements. It is necessary to use ways to increase the energy efficiency of induction motors while maintaining their simplicity and reliability. It is proposed to use internal capacitive compensation of reactive power of induction motors. The aim of the research is to develop a mathematical model of an induction motor with internal capacitive reactive power compensation in the MathLab Simulink software environment for the calculation of operating and mechanical characteristics. A mathematical model of an induction motor with internal capacitive reactive power compensation in the MathLab Simulink software environment using the theory of electric circuits has been developed. The developed mathematical model allows to study the working and mechanical characteristics of an induction motor with internal capacitive compensation of reactive power. Numerical researches of characteristics of the induction motor with internal capacitive compensation of reactive power are carried out and their comparison with corresponding characteristics of the basic induction motor is carried out.
