CONCLUSION:
In
this article, it is demonstrated that conventional techniques for speed control
of SPIMs are inefficient because they cause the formation of elliptical
magnetic fields inside them at non-rated starting and operating conditions.
After a detailed analysis of SPIM energy-efficiency, a novel sensor-less con- trol
strategy was devised to improve the performance at non-rated conditions by
enabling the symmetrical and balanced operation of SPIM. Formation of circular
magnetic field inside SPIMs over the entire speed range is achieved by
dynamically and optimally controlling the auxiliary volt- age and
phase-difference between the windings voltages simultaneously with constant V=f
control using the developed phase-shift algorithm. Simulation-based
evaluation of the optimal control strategy demonstrates an improvement of more
than 400% in energy-efficiency as compared to maximum 18% reported in case of
conventional SPIM energy-efficiency optimization techniques. The developed control
algorithm also enables the soft-starting of SPIM with substantial starting
torque at low-frequencies, resulting in a significant reduction in inrush
current. Simulation-based results of the proposed sensor-less optimal control
strategy confirm an inrush current reduction of more than 84%. This efficient
soft-starting results in further energy-savings.
