Abstract:
ABSTRACT: Induction machines are the most commonly used industrial drives for variety of applications. In this paper, it has been demonstrated that the star-delta switching of stator winding of three-phase induction machine (motor / generator operations) reconnected in star at suitable reduced loads with a switching arrangement, can result in improved efficiency and power factor, as compared to a fixed delta or star connection. In such star-delta stator switching scheme, only two voltage settings are possible for the operation of the three-phase induction machine i.e. line voltage for normal operation (delta-connection) and (line voltage / 3) for reduced load conditions (star-connection). Hence, a Sinusoidal Pulse-Width-Modulated (SPWM) inverter is proposed to employ for feeding a variable voltage applied to the three-phase induction machine. In this context, a method has been evolved to find the optimum voltage fed to the induction machine for the improved performance. A case study on a 250 kW, 400 V, 4-pole, three-phase induction machine, operated with different load cycles, reveals the significant real and reactive power savings that could be obtained in the present proposal. In addition, for feeding the variable voltage to the induction machine, power and control circuit have been designed and fabricated in the laboratory. Experiments have been conducted and the results are presented. A MATLAB program has been developed for the predetermination of performance of the three-phase induction machine using exact equivalent circuit.
