(BHAWANI SHANKER) ABSTRACT

The Principle of slip power recovery has been employed over years in very large power drives to achieve variable speed operation at high efficiency. A static Kramer drive is essentially a constant torque type of slip power recovery drive in which the motor is of wound type. Slip power, which is available at the rotor slip rings, is made to flow in a slip recovery loop consisting of a three phase bridge converter which is connected to slip rings on its ac side and another three phase bridge converter which is connected to supply mains on its ac side, the, two converters being connected to each other in cascade on their dc sides through suitable filtering inductor.

Both converters are of line commutated type.

If motor side converter is operated with zero firing delay, as a bridge diode recifier, and the motor side converter is operated with firing angle varied in a range 900 to 1800, the drive can be operated at varying speeds in sub-synchronous region.

With the same arrangement of firing, it can also be operated as line excited generator at super-synchronous speeds. On the other hand, super-synchronous motoring and sub-synchronous generating modes are possible to be realized if the motor side converter is operated as a fully ON inverter (a = 1800), and the line side converter is operated as a controlled recifier in a firing angle range of 00 to 900.

In present work, a general mathematical model of the static

Kramer drive has been developed which is suitable for investigating steady-state and transient performance' of the drive in any of the four modes of operation mentioned above. The technique of d-q transformation of variables is employed with associated assumptions. Performance curves of the drive are obtained through digital simulation for all the four modes of operation to investigate the steady state behaviour. It is concluded that for large power applications static Kramer drive offers a robust arrangement which can be operated over a wide speed range in both motoring and regenerating mode.

NTRODUCTION

The technology of solid state adjustable speed ac drives was launched in the 1960s. Since then many innovations in devices, circuits control theory, and signal electronics. have made a considerable contribution to this technology. The heritage of past experience, and projection of present trends, convey the belief that ac drives will find wide acceptance in near future.

In Induction motor drives, where the power is controlled in the stator circuit only, converters are to be designed to handle the full power flowing to the machine. Between the two classes of induction machines - squirrel cage and wound rotor, the former is almost always preferred, because the wound rotor machine is more

bulky and expensive and has a fragile slip rings brushes arrangement. However, the wound rotor machine has long been used for inexpensive speed control by mechanically varyiniz the rheostats in rotor circuit. For limited range speed-control applications below synchronous speed, where the slip power is only a fraction of the total power of the machine, the power loss in rheostats is low. This advantage offsets the demerits of the wound rotor machine to some extent, and the drive system becomes viable for large horsepower pump and compressor - type applications, where the speed does not usually deviate more than 50% from the

1 synchronous speed and the higher cost of wound rotor motor is justified as it enables superior starting characteristics too. The slip power can be controlled to flow either out of the rotor or into the rotor, allowing speed to be controlled in both sub-synchronous and super-synchronous regions with motoring and regeneration.

1.1 SLIP POWER RECOVERY DRIVES

Slip power recovey drives employ the principle of recovering slip power of the rotor, which is otherwise wasted in rotor resistance based speed control schemes. Due to recovery of slip power the overall efficiency of the system improves. The slip energy recovery drives may be either constant power type or constant torque type. In the former, the recovered slip energy is returned to shaft of main motor with the help of an auxiliary

motor whereas in the latter, it is returned to supply after

modifying its frequency to be equal to supply frequency. The former owes its introduction to Von Ch. Kramer, who presented it

in 1908 and is popularly known after his name. Before advent of semiconductor devices, the cascade connection of speed control was

made with two rotary machines. Two systems were popular

(1) The Kramer System

(2) The Scherbius System

1.1.1 ORIGINAL KRAMER DRIVE

The original Kramer drive, shown schematically in figure

2 (1.1) had three basic components a wound rotor induction motor, a d.c. motor mechanically coupled to the Induction motor and a converter which converts three-phase slip power to d.c. power.

Slip power is recovered through the converter and fed to the d.c. motor which converts it into mechanical power and returns it to the shaft. The shaft speed is controlled by adjusting the excitation and hence the back ernf of the . As the back emf changes, the current in the d.c. link alters. As a consequence, the torque developed by the induction motor changes and its speed varies until its slip voltage is again in equilibrium with the d.c. motor back emf.

The most striking feature of this drive is its high operating efficiency and power factor over the entire operating speed range.

In its original form, however the drive could not become a commercial success. This was due to the fact that the rotating converter needed a tight maintenance schedule besides being a costly equipment in itself. Irrespective of the operating speed, the power output of motor remains more or less constant so it is called the constant power cascade.

1.1.2 MODIFIED KRAMER SYSTEM

With progress in technology, rotary converter was replaced by first mercury arc rectifier and then by solid state rectifier made up of six power diodes which are cheap, maintenance free and can be built almost in any size.

3 Fig. 1:1 Schematic diagram of original Kramer drive. The drive called modified Kramer drive now served as a highly favoured proposition where large amount of power was to be handled and the speed-range requirement was limited, such as in

large pumps, and wind tunnel drives.

1.1.3 MODERN STATIC KRAMER SYSTEM

In this system, the d.c. motor is also replaced by a three-phase SCR bridge as shown in Fig. (1.2). This is constant torque type of slip energy recovery drive. In this arrangement slip power is rectified by three-phase diode bridge whose output

is smoothed by a filter choke L and fed to a line commutated

inverter bridge. The inverter returns the slip power to the.a.c. supply through a suitable transformer. To avoid inrush of current at the time of starting, the machine is started with the aid of a resistor connected in the rotor circuit.

The torque v/s speed characteristics are shown in Fig. (1.3) for different firing angles. As a = 900 the average voltage at

d.c. side of the inverter is zero and hence the drive offers

characteristics of plain induction motor.

A typical starting method with resistance switching is shown

in figure (1.4). The motor is started with switch 1 on and switch

2 &' 3 off. As the speed builds up the resistance R1 and R2 are

shorted sequentially and at the designed S value, switch 1 is max opened and the controller is brought into operation. ]-PHASE SUPPLY

(l) This system is popular in large power pump and compressor type

drive where the range of speed variation is usually limited.

The drive system is not only efficient but the converter power

rating is low because it has to handle only the slip power.

This power rating becomes lower for a more restricted speed

range near the synchronous speed.

(2) The additional advantages are that the drive system has d.c.

machine like characteristics and the control circuit is

simple.

1.1.3.2 DISADVANTAGES

Poor input p.f. due to (i) lagging reactive power drawn by

machine to maintain the air gap flux, and (ii) the inverter also draws reactive power for line commutation. The reactive power drawn by inverter increases as a advances from 1800 to 90o. At a

goo the inverter KVA is almost wholly reactive. Total reactive

power drawn from the supply is the sum of the reactive power to

machine and the inverter. So pf becomes very poor at low speed

when the magnitude of active power is comparatively low. At full

load and rated speed, p.f. of the system is about 0.6 and

decreases as speed decreases.

Power factor of the system can be improved if the reactive

power drawn by the inverter can be low, at the lowest value of the

controllable speed range. At minimum speed Vd will be maximum and f

0 this should be matched with that of the inverter voltage with a =

1800. Hence a suitable transformer is required between inverter and supply line.

1.1.4 ORIGINAL SCHERBIUS CASCADE SYSTEM

The original Scherbius cascade system using rotary machine

is shown in Fig. (1.5). In this system the feedback power is

electrical, whereas in original Kramer system is mechanical.

Instead of coupling the d.c. motor directly to the main motor, it

is mechancially coupled to a synchronous generator which converts

the mechanical power to electrical power and returns it to the

supply line.

1.1.5 STATIC SCHERBIUS DRIVE SYSTEM

In this sytem, all rotary machines in recovery loop have

been replaced by SCR converter and inverter, as shown in

Fig. (1.6). The system is quite similar to static Kramer system.

Only diode bridge is replaced by SCR bridge. So power can flow in

either direction. Motor can be operated in sub-synchronous and

super-synchronous regions.

1.1.5.1 ADVANTAGES

Machine speed can be controlled continuously about 50%

above and below the synchronous speed with a converter rating of

about 50% of machine capacity.

12 1.1.5.2 DISADVANTAGES

(1)Line commutation of the machine side converter is difficult

near synchronous speed when ac voltage is very small. This

can be solved by using a force commutated ASCI-type converter.

(2)Speed reversal is not possible, it is possible by installing a

phase sequence reversing con€actor on'stator side. This of

course, requires the drive system to go through zero speed,

where the converters are not designed to operate.

(3)Rotor voltage is high at low speed and low at high speed. So,

the KVA rating of the converter for a given load is much

larger than the actual slip power under high speed condition.

1.1.6 STATIC SCHERBIUS DRIVE USING

Dual converter in static Scherbius drive system can be

replaced by a phase controlled line commutated cycloconverter, as shown in Fig. (1.7).

The cycloconverter permits the slip power to flow in either

direction, and therefore the machine speed can be controlled in

both sub-synchronous and super-synchronous ranges, with motoring

and regeneration features.

1.1.6.1 ADVANTAGES

(1) A cycloconverter in rotor circuit can regulate slip power flow

in both direction without a d.c. link.

(2) Current is nearly sinusoidal and hence torque pulsation

effects are minimum.

(3) Difficulty of commutation near the synchronous speed is

completely absent.

1.1.6.2 DISADVANTAGES

(1) System is complex and costly. So applications is restricted

to extremely large motor as driving rolling mill, mine fans,

blowers, centrifugal pumps etc.

1.2. PRINCIPLE OF SUB-SYNCHRONOUS AND SUPER-SYNCHRONOUS OPERATION

WITH INJECTION OF VOLTAGE IN THE ROTOR CIRCUIT

Fig. (1.8(a)) shows the equivalent circuit of a wound rotor

induction motor with an injected voltage of V L~ volts per phase. r r Consider the ideal no-load operation for which I must be zero. r In the absence of injected voltage, I is zero when the motor r speed is equal to the synchronous speed. When V is in phase with

E, Ir is zero when sE/a Ti = Vr

16 According to equation (1.2) the no-load speed can be changed from synchronous to standstill by varying V from 0 to r (E/aTl ). Further if V is reversed, s will be negative and the

motor no-load speed will be higher than the synchronous speed. The

relative speed between the stator field and the rotor will now be

the opposite of that for speed less than the synchronous speed.

Hence, the phase sequence and direction of the rotor induced

voltages will also be opposite . Thus, for operation above

synchronous speed, both the polarity and the phase sequence of

the injected voltage will have to be changed. Further, as the

speed changes, the frequency of the rotor induced voltage changes.

For the injected voltage to balance the induced voltage, the

frequency of the injected voltage must track the frequency of the

induced voltage.

Let us now consider the operation with a fixed V of positive

polarity and phase sequence. The no-load speed of the motor will

be less than the synchronous speed. An application of a positive

load torque will reduce the motor speed from its no-load speed,

causing the slip and the rotor induced emf to increase. A positive

rotor current will flow and motoring torque will be produced. As

the load torque is increased, the motor speed falls to compensate

for the increase in the machine impedance drop due to the increase

in the rotor current. The higher the load torque, the greater the

drop in speed from no-load speed. This is the motor's

subsynchronous motoring mode of operation. Let P denote the r

17 power absorbed by the source Vr. In this mode of operation, both

Pr and Pm are positive and Vr has a positive polarity and

positive phase sequence. (Fig. 1.9(a)).

Let the load torque be removed. This will restore the

operation to the no-load speed. Now let a negative load torque be

applied. A negative load torque will increase the motor speed.

Consequently, the rotor induced emf will decrease (because the

motors is running at a speed less than the synchronous speed)

and a negative rotor current will flow. Because of the negative

rotor. current, the machine will develop a negative torque and

operate under regenerative braking. The motor will run at a speed

higher than the no-load speed but less than the synchronous

speed. In this mode of operation, known as subsynchronous

regenerative braking, both P and P are negative and V, which

acted as a sink of power for subsynchronous motoring, acts as a

source of power now (Fig. 1.9(b)).

Let us now consider the operation of the drive when the

polarity and phase sequence of V are reversed. The no-load r speed is obtained from equation (1.2). It will be higher than

the synchronous speed. The induced voltage will have negative

polarity and negative phase sequence. Let a positive load torque

be applied. The motor will slow down. The induced voltage

magnitude will decrease and a positive rotor current will flow,

producing motoring torque. The motor will run. at a speed less yr

19 than the no-load speed but greater than the synchronous speed.

The speed will fall with an increase in the load torque. This mode of operation is known as super-synchronous motoring. Here P is m positive and P is negative. The voltage Vr has negative polarity

and negative phase sequence (Fig. 1.9(c)).

Let the load torque be removed. This will restore the

operation to the no-load speed which is higher than the

synchronous speed. Now let a negative load torque be applied.

This will increase the motor speed and the induced voltage

magnitude will increase. A negative rotor current will flow

producing a negative torque and regenerative braking. The higher

the load torque, the greater will the increase be of motor speed

beyond the no-load speed. In this mode of operation, known as

super-synchronous regenerative braking, P is negative and P is m r positive. The voltage V has negative polarity and negative phase r sequence (Fig. 1. 9(d) ). V, which acted as a source of power for r super synchronous motoring now acts as a sink of power.

1.2.1 DRIVE CONFIGURATION FOR SUB- AND SUPER-SYNCHRONOUS OPERATION

A static slip energy recovery drive is schematically shown

in Fig. (1.10). The slip recovery loop of this drive consists of

a motor side converter and a line side converter, both being line

commutated type. The dc link current can only flow from the upper

terminal of the motor side converter to the upper terminal of the

line side converter, as shown in the Fig. (1.10). Current flow in

2]_ the opposite direction is not allowed by the converters. Under ideal no-load conditions the dc link current is zero, resulting in zero developed torque.

1.2.1.1 SUB-SYNCHRONOUS MOTORING

The power flow diagram, ignoring ohmic losses, for sub-synchronous motoring operation is given in Fig. (1.11(a)).

Under this operation slip is positive. Air gap power, P, is partly converted into mechanical power, Pm = (1-s)P and the balance power, called slip power, P = sP is returned to supply s mains. Thus, net power drawn from the supply mains is P. = in (1-s)P and is equal to mechanical power output Pm for all positive values of slip.

In order to implement this mode of operation the converters of the slip power recovery loop are so triggered that motor side converter behaves as an uncontrolled rectifier (a =0) and line m side converter behaves as inverter with adjustable firing angle.

This is schematically shown in Fig. (1.11(b)). At inverter firing angle al equal to 900, average value of voltage Vl is zero. This causes the motor to operate at synchronous speed under no-load, since at synchronous speed slip is zero hence V m will be zero and as a result id will also be zero. When firing angle is adjusted at an increased value between 900 to 180°, the voltage V1

increases. This results in the motor no-load speed to reduce to

allow vm to become equal to Vl. At a given firing angle of the

23 inverter, when motor is loaded, its speed falls, slip increases,

V increases and hence id increases to produce required torque.

1.2.2.2 SUPER-SYNCHRONOUS GENERATING

The power flow diagram, ignoring ohmic losses, for super-synchronous generating operation is given in Fig. (1.12(a)).

Under this operation the motor is driven by a prime mover at

super-synchronous speed causing slip to be negative. The input

mechanical power, P m = (1+s)P is partly converted in electrical

power, P, and the balance power, Ps = sP is returned to supply

mains through recovery loop. Thus, net power given to supply

mains is Pin = (1+s)P and is equal to mechanical input power P

for all negative values of slip.

In order to implement this mode of operation the converters

of the slip power recovery loop are so triggered that motor side

converter behaves as an uncontrolled rectifier and line side

converter behaves as inverter with adjustable firing angle. This

is schematically shown in Fig. (1.12(b)). At inverter firing

angle aI equal to 90°, average value of voltage VI is zero. This

causes the motor to operate at synchronous speed under no-load,

since at synchronous speed v shall b'zero and hence id will also

be zero. If the operation is considered at higher than

synchronous speed, al remaining equal to 900, the slip increases

causing v to increase. Current id increase representing an

increase in torque. This implementation is also in accordance

24 with Fig. 1.9(d). The slip power flows out of rotor. However, since the direction of d.c. link current can not be reversed, the polarity of vI and id are both opposite in Fig. 1.12(b) with respect to those of Vr and Ir in I'ig. 1.9(d) to keep the direction of slip power unchanged.

0 For aI > 90 , the no-load speed in generating mode will be higher than synchronous speed.

This mode can also be identified as supersynchronous regenerative braking mode of the drive.

1.2.1.3 SUPER-SYNCHRONOUS MOTORING_

The power flow diagram, ignoring ohmic losses, for super-synchronous motoring operation is given in Fig. (1.13(a)).

Under this operation slip is negative. Air gap power, P is converted into mechanical power and the slip power,Ps = sP drawn from supply mains is also converted into mechanical power. Thus, net power drawn from supply mains is P. = (1+s)P and is equal to in mechanical power output Pm = (1+s)P.

Since the direction of slip power has now reversed, and since direction of id can not change, the polarity of v and vl must change with respect to the previous two cases, as shown in Fig.

(1.13(b)). In order to implement this, the converters of the slip power side converter behaves as a fully ON inverter (a =180°) and m

26 line side converter behaves as a controlled rectifier with adjustable firing angle. This is schematically shown in Fig:

(1.13(b)). At rectifier firing angle al equal to 90°, average value of voltage vl is zero. This causes the motor to operate at synchronous speed under no-load, since at synchronous speed v m shall be zero and hence id will also be zero. When firing angle, al, set a lower value between 900 and 00 , the voltage vl

increases. This results in the motor no-load speed increasing allowing vm to become equal to v1. At a given firing angle, al,

when motor is loaded, its speed falls, slip reduces, v decreases m and hence id increases to produce required torque.

This implementation is also in accordance with Fig. 1.9(c).

1.2.1.4 SUB-SYNCHRONOUS GENERATING

The power flow diagram, ignoring ohmic losses, for sub-synchronous generating operation is given is Fig. (1.14(a)).

Under this operation slip is positive. Mechanical power P =

(1-s)P is converted into air-gap power, and also slip power, P = s sP drawn from supply mains is added to air-gap power. Thus net

power given to supply mains is P. = (1-s)P. zn .

In order to 'implement this mode of operation the converters

of the slip power recovery loop are so triggered that motor side

converter behaves as a fully ON inverter (a =1800) and line 'side m converter behaves as a controlled rectifier with adjustable firing

27 angle, exactly similar to the case of super-synchronous motoring.

This is schematically shown in Fig. (1.14(b)). At rectifier firing angle al equal to 90°, average value of voltage v1 is zero.

This causes the motor to operate at synchronous speed under no load, since at synchronous speed vm shall be zero and hence id will also be zero. When firing angle al, is set at a reduce value between 90° and 00, the voltage V1 increases. This results in the motor no-load speed to reduce allowing V to become equal to V1.

At a given firing angle of the rectifier, when operation is considered at a speed higher than the no-load speed, slip reduces,

V decreases and hence 1d increases which represents availability of generating torque.

This mode can also be identified as sub-synchoronous regenerative braking mode of the drive. r

The power flow diagram in static slip power recovery drive is shown in Fig. (1.15). This diagram is applicable for all four modes operation of present work.

1.3 LITERATURE SURVEY

The main draw back of the slip power recovery scheme is that

the power factor of the drive system is poor, particularly in the

low-speed range. Shephard and Khalil [1] investigated the

improvement of the power factor using a capacitor in the rotor

circuit. Lavi Polge [21 presented a method of analysis for

determining power factor, speed-torque characteristics.

Sheshgiri R. Doradla et. al. [3] have proposed a new slip

power recovery scheme with a PWM converter in rotor circuit. The

steady-state performance characteristics such as speed torque

characteristics and the overall power factor of the drive system

are determined using simple DC and AC equivalent circuits. Also,

the performance characteristics are verified experimentally. A

good agreement exists between theoretical and experimental

results. The power factor of the drive system is improved

significantly over the entire range of speed control. The drive

provides speed-torque characteristics which are similar to those

of a separately excited dc motor. Oscillograms of typical

30 waveforms from the experimental set up are illustrated to demonstrate the satisfactory working of the new slip power scheme.

1.3.2 EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENT TECHNIQUE

W. Shephard and J. Stanway [4] have studied that the low speed efficiency of induction motor can be improved by rectifying slip frequency power, inverting this to line frequency, iri,jecting it back into the supply directly (line feedback) or through auxiliarly stator winding (stator feedback). The low power factor and nonsinusoidal supply current of the line feedback connection are improved by use of stator feedback method but the improvement of efficiency is then much less. Line feedback with a two-phase induction motor eliminates the need for a variable control voltage source.

1.3.3 STEADY STATE ANALYSIS OF DRIVE

V.N. Mittle et. al. [5,6,7] provided an analytical approach

based on synchronously rotating reference frame transformation of

phase variables, through which the steady-state performance of such a drive was predicted and compared with the one obtained

experimentally. Although the analysis neglected saturation,

hysteresis and eddy current effects in the machine, voltage drop

in the rectifier and induction motor rotor current harmonics, good

correlation was observed between analytical and experimental

results. P.C. Krause et al. [8] have pointed out fallacy in this

31 work, which is due to wrong interpretation of the relationship between the reference frame and phase axis.

The paper presented by M.S. Takkher and S.P. Gupta [9] is concerned with steady state analysis of a constant torque type static slip energy recovery drive. The drive is analysed in synchronously rotating d-q reference frame employing a correction in a previously published approach. The steady state perform iic" curves are obtained and discussed.

E. Akpinar and P. Pillay [10] have stated that the operati:r: of slip energy recovery induction motor (IM) drives is complicatf-d by the fact that the region of interest is centered on the or and not on the stator as in most other IM drives. A detailed study of the rotor phenomena including the rectifier commutation overlap and inverter harmonics are facilitated by the use of the actual rotor state variable instead of transformed variables that are used in most other induction systems. The use of

"natural" equations however, has the serious drawbacks of having a 6 x 6 inductance matrix that depends on the rotor angle and which must be inverted at each step of integration. The computer

program developed can be used to examine the transient performance of slip energy recovery drives, for the proper rating of semiconductor devices or to examine the effects of faults on the associated power system on the drive performance. Current. and

32 speed controllers designed using linear techniques can be evaluated using this program as well.

1.3.4 TRANSIENT PERFORMANCE OF KRAMER DRIVE

Rao et. al. [11] have studied the improvement of performance characteristics by using a fully controlled converter with half controlled characteristics. Smith [12] investigated the drive system which provided sub- and super-synchronous speed of* operation, the scheme employed a current source inverter and line commutated converter in the rotor circuit.

J.E. Brown et al. [ 13] have taken account of the different

rotor states which arises from the switching of DC link current

between the rotor phases by the action of diode bridge. They further describe that the performance of a static Kramer drive is substantially affected by DC voltage waveform of the thyristor

recovery bridge and the inductance of the DC link smoothing

reactor. The paper describes a novel method of analysis of the

periodic transient performance of such a drive. In which full

account is taken of these practical aspects of the recovery

system. The analytical model obtained has been verified by

comparison of calculated and measured performance of four

different types of recovery bridge. The computed results have

allowed a more comprehensive examination of drive performance

than is possible from the results of practical tests.

33 Herbert W. Weiss [14) has described in his paper that the application and performance of' a cycloconverter type frequency converter and a doubly fed wound rotor as applicable to adjustable speed drive systems for pump and compressor loads. The paper covers the subject by discussion of the following: (i) basic theory and operation of a cycloconverter and a doubly fed wound rotor motor; (ii) motor and converter rating to meet the performance requirements of typical pump and compressor applications, (iii) control scheme for starting, running and process control, (iv) efficiency and power factor.

E. Akpina.r, P. Pillay and A. Ersak [151 presented a closed- form expression to estimate the overlap angle in the slip energy recovery system. A closed-form expression is derived using a hybrid model of the induction motor and a dynamic model of the rotor rectifier. The ripple content of the dc link current and the

inverter input, voltage are neglected. The predicted results

obtained using the closed form expression are verified

experimentally.

34 CHAPTER - 2

MATHEMATICAL MODELLING

Generalized method for predicting steady state characteristic of slip energy recovery system is described using reference frame theory. With the help of d-q transformation of variables, the basic instantaneous equations for the idealized induction motor are developed. The model is developed in p.u. system. The model is general and is suitable for studying system performance for any settings of firing angles of motor side and line side converters.

2.1 INTRODUCTION

The suitability of any drive to a given application is characterized by its steady-state and dynamic behaviour. In order to study the complete performance, it is essential to develop a mathematical model of the drive, using reasonable assumption, if any.

The drive configuration considered for development of mathematical model has been presented in the previous chapter in

Fig. (1.10). The procedure followed is to write voltage current equation for the various components of the drive namely the motor, the motor side converter, the dc link filter and the line side

35 converter and combine them to obtain the mo r. In developing the model, the following assumptions have been made.

(i) The induction machine has been considered to be symmetrical.

(ii) Supply voltage and current are considered to be sinusoidal.

(iii) Rotor current harmonics due to the motor side converter are

not taken into account.

(iv) The commutation overlap phenomenon in the converters is not

accounted for.

(v) The do link current is considered to be ripple free and only

average values of voltages are considered on do side of the

converters.

(vi) Iron losses in the machine and effect of magnetic saturation

are neglected.

The model is developed to be suitable for dynamic as well as steady-state performance estimation of the drive.

2.2 DEVELOPMENT OF MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF THE SYSTEM

('i) Induction Machine

The per-unit voltage-current equations of symmetrical

induction machine, as represented in Equation (2.1), in

synchronously rotating reference frame are given by [171

The electromagnetic torque in per unit is given by

Te = X ids iqr) ... (2.2) M (i qs ldr ' The equations for motor side and line side converters will

now be written, first in actual units and later in per units.

(ii) Motor Side Bridge Converter

For an ideal three phase thyristor bridge the input/output

relationships of voltages and currents are given by

v = 3~ v Cosa ... (2.3) m it rp m

irp = 2 i d ... (2.4)

where vm, id are the average values of the bridge output voltage

and current and vrp, irp are the peak values of the fundamental

37 phase input voltage and current. The effect of harmonics in rotor current and voltage is ignored, in present work.

In ideal converter, the power input to the bridge is equal to the power output. Thus,

v i 3 rp . rp . Cos 0r= - v id where 0r is phase angle between fundamental rotor phase voltage and fundamental rotor phase current and -ve sign is due to opposite sign conventions adopted for rotor phase current and the do link current,

Substituting for v and id from equations (2.3) and (2.4), it is found that

Cos 0 = -Cos a r m Cos 0r = Cos (am + 1800 ) ... (2.5)

This shows that (A = a + 180° r m

Thus for a =0 i.e uncontrolled rectifier, rotor fundamentals m currents are in antiphase with rotor voltages, whereas for a =1800 m (fully ON inverter) they are in phase.

(iii) Filter

The voltage-current equation of the filter is written as

vj_n (Rt, + Lf p) id- vI X 1 or vm = Rf+ Wf p i d -v1 ... (2.6) [ J where Xf is d.c. link reactance measured at line frequency.

(iv) Line Side Converter

For the phase controlled line side converter, neglecting

commutation delay, the input/output voltages are related as :

vl = 3 vsp Cos al ... (2.7)

where vsp is the peak stator phase voltage.

Combining equations (2.6) and (2.7) and substituting for v m and id from equations (2.3) and (2.4),

X it 3 vrp Cos am = r Rf + fW p 1 i rp - 3i vsp Cos al l J 2~

The angular relationship of phase axes with the d- and q-axes

is shown in Fig. (2.2).

If d-axis of reference frame is considered to be coincident

with phase a-axes of stator and rotor at t=0, the stator and rotor

terminal voltages can be defined as Stator

vbr = vrp . Cos ((3 + 8r -2/3) ... (2.10)

v = v . Cos ((3 + 9 + 2/3) cr rp r

where (3 is the angle of advancement of the d-axis with respect to rotor phase a-axis, as shown in Fig. (2.2) and is the phase 9r

angle between stator and rotor voltages of phase a at t=0.

If phase voltages of equations (2.9) and (2.10) are

transformed into d, q variables, following relations are readily

established :

vqs =0 . (2.12)

vdr = yr . Cos 0r ... (2.13) P v =v . Sin 0 ... (2.14) qr rp r

Also, since the fundamental rotor phase currents are at an

angle 0r = am + 1800 with respect to rotor phase voltages, they

can be expressed as

In all further developments, only the above equations expressed in per-unit system have been used. These equations can easily be handled for studying the steady-state performance of the system.

2.3 CONCLUSION

Equations (2.33) have four unknown variables' i ds, i q s , it p and 0 whose values may be determined for given values of supply r voltage vsp, operating slip s and al by simultaneously solving these equations.

The idealized model developed on the concept of coupled circuit approach is well suited for simulating the drive for most of the practical purposes. The parameters involved in the model are such that they can be easily measured at the terminal of the machine. The model is extremely useful for carrying out steady state and transient studies of the static slip energy recovery drive. CHAPTER - 3

STEADY STATE ANALYSIS

This chapter deals with the steady state analysis of slip

power recovery drive. Using the mathematical model, developed in

previous chapter, performance characteristics, like torque, supply current, power factor, losses and efficiency are determined. The effects of firing angle control has been investigated and discussed.

3.1 INTRODUCTION

Prediction of steady state performance of a drive system is

usually done before manufacturing it, to enable proper selection

of drive parameters for meeting the requirements of load. The

drive system is simulated on a computer and its performance under

varying operating condition is studied.

Under steady state, the different voltages and current attain a steady value. When transformed into dq voltages and currents, they appear to be dc quantities. This has been shown for the case of voltages through equations (2. 11) to (2.14). Consequenty dq currents will also become d.c. in similar manner. Hence their time derivative will be equal to zero. To represent the balanced steady state operation with harmonics neglected, the time rate of change of all currents should be equated to zero (i.e. p=d/dt=0).

54 3.4 COMPUTED PERFORMANCE RESULTS

Performance of the drive under steady-state has been computed

for the following modes of operation.

(a)Sub-synchronous Motoring.

(b)Super-synchronous Generating.

(c)Super-synchronous Motoring, and

(d)Sub-synchronous Generating.

As discussed in Chapter 1 the implementation of the above

four modes of operation requires that the firing angles of the two

converters be set as in Table 3.1.

Performance curve for each of the four modes of operation

shall now be presented.

3.4.1 Sub-synchronous Motoring

The steady state performance of the drive in this mode of

55 operation has been computed for line side converter fixing angle 0 setting as 90°, 100°, 110°, 120°, 130 and 140°. For a given angle setting the drive's performance is obtained in the full range of speed applicable to the given setting.

The torque/speed characteristics are presented in Fig. (3.1).

At a1=90°, slip power in the recovery loop is zero and normal

induction motor behaviour is obtained with no-load speed of 1.0

p.u. As al is increased characteristics which maintain

parallelism with respect to each other from no load to full load are obtained. The locus of full :Load operating point is marked on

the figure by broken line. Full load condition is identified when

the stator current becomes equal to rated current, the rms value

of which is 0.707 p.u. It is seen that for all firing angles a

full load torque of 0.826 p.u. is obtained.

The nature of dc link current for different setting of aI is

shown in Fig. (3.2). Here again the locus of full load operating

point is seen to correspond to a fixed value of dc link current

equal to 0.833 p.u. From no-load to full load the dc link current

is seen to vary linearly with speed. Since in this region torque

also varies linearly with speed Fig. (3.1), torque is directly

proportional to the dc link current.

3.4.2 Super-synchronous Generating

The steady-state performance of the drive in this mode of operation has been computed for line side converter firing angle settings as 90°, 1000 , 110°, 120°, 130° and 140°. For a given firing angle setting the drive's performance is obtained in the full range of speed (above synchronous speed) applicable to the given setting.

63 The torque-speed characteristics are presented in Fig. (3.6).

At a1 =90°, slip power in recovery loop is zero and system behaves as a normal induction motor with no-,load speed of 1.0 p.u. As al is increased no-load speed is increased and modified torque-speed characteristics maintaining parallelism with respect to each other from no load to full load are obtained.

The locus of full load operating point is marked on the figure by broken line. Full load condition is identified when the stator current becomes equal to rated current, the rms value of

which is 0.707 p.u. It is seen that for all firing angles a full

load torque of -0.907 p.u. is obtained.

The nature of dc link current for different settings of a1 is shown in Fig. (3.7). Here again the locus of full load operating

points is shown by broken line to correspond to a fixed value of

dc link current of 0.823 p.u. From no-load to full load the dc

link current is seen to vary linearly with speed. Since in this

region torque also varies linearly with speed Fig. (3.6), torque

is directly proportional to the dc link current.

The stator current (rms p.u.)/slip characteristics are

presented in Fig. (3.8). Under no-load condition the stator

current is equal to the magnetising current which is independent

of a1 setting. Full load current is marked at 0.707 p.u. The

3.4.3 Super-synchronous Motoring

The steady state performance of the drive in this mode of operation has been computed for motor side converter firing angle set. at 180° and line side converter firing angle setting as 80°,

70°, 60° and 50°.

The torque/speed characteristics are presented in Fig.(3.11).

At al=90°, no load speed in synchronous speed. So, the

torque/speed characteristics is just a point at synchronous speed.

As al is reduced, no-load speed increases and modified

torque-speed characteristics which maintain parallelism with respect to each other from no load to full load are obtained. The

locus of full load operating point is marked on the figure by broken line. Full load operating point is identified when the

71 stator current becomes equal to rated current, the rms value of which is 0.707 p.u.. It is seen that for all firing angles a full load torque of 0.826 p.u. is obtained.

The nature of dc link current for different setting of al is shown in Fig. (3.12).

Here again the locus of full load operating points is seen to correspond to a fix value of dc link current of 0.833 p.u. From no-load to full load the dc link current is seen to vary almost linearly with speed. Since in this region torque also varies linearly with speed Fig. (3.11), torque is directly proportional to the dc link current.

The stator current/slip characteristics are presented in

Fig. (3.13). Under no-load condition the stator current is equal to the magnetising current which is independent of al setting.

Full load current is marked as 0.707 p.u.

The system power factor/slip characteristics are presented in

Fig. (3.14). In this mode, since the line side converter is operating at an angle less than 900, the real power component drawn from supply increases incontrast to the situation when firing angle was more than 900 (sub-synchronous motoring). This leads to include power factor as firing angle is reduced. Due to

iLI 3.4.4 Sub-synchronous Generating

The steady state performance of the drive in this mode of operation has been computed for motor side converter firing angle set at 1800 and line side converter firing angle setting as 80°,

70°, 60 and 50 as shown in Table 3.1.

The torque/speed characteristics are presented in Fig.(3.16).

At a1=900, slip power in the recovery loop is zero, and motor side converter is act as fully ON inverter. So in torque/speed characteristics, we will find a point at synchronous speed. As al is reduced, no-load speed reduces and modified torque-speed characteristics which maintain parallelism with respect to each other are obtained. The locus of full load operating point is marked on the figure by broken line. Full load operating point is identified when the stator current becomes equal to rated current, the rms value of which is 0.707 p.u.. It is seen that for all firing angles a full load torque of -0.907 is obtained.

The nature of dc link current for different setting of aI is shown in Fig. (3.17). Here again the locus of full load operating points is seen to corresponds to a fix value of do link current of

0.823. From no-load to full load the dc link current is seen to vary linearly with speed. Since in this region torque also varies linearly with speed Fig. (3.16), torque is directly proportional to the do link current.

The system power factor or supply power factor/slip characteristics are presented in Fig. (3.19). In this mode of operation the reactive power drawn from supply has two components of opposite nature, whereas the generator reactive power is leading, the line side converter draws a lagging reactive power, whose magnitude reduces as the firing angle is the reduce. This results in overall increase in reactive power as firing angle is reduced. Hence the supply power factor drops at reduced firing angle. So when al reduces power factor of the system poorer. Due to recovery of slip power, system efficiency is greatly improved- in the whole range of speed as shown in Fig. (3.20).

3.5 CONCLUSIONS

In this Chapter computed steady state performance of the

static slip power recovery drive has been presented in the four

identified modes of operation. In each mode curves for torque, dc

link current, stator current, supply power factor and system

efficiency are presented for different settings of the firing

angles of the line and motor side converters. The performance is

found to be fairly satisfactory. CHAPTER - 4

CONCLUSION

The main contribution of present work is investigation of performance of static Kramer drive in (a) super-synchronous motoring mode and (b) regenerating mode both under sub- and super-synchronous speed range.

A general model of the drive has been developed which allows performance investigation for any combination of the firing angles settings of motor and line side converters. The model ignores saturation effect and effect of rotor current harmonics. Only copper losses in the machine and dc link filter are considered.

The effect of commutation overlap in the converters has also been ignored. These assumptions are commonly made in the analysis of the static Kramer drive [8].

For investigating steady-state performance through digital simulation, A 5 H.P. wound rotor induction motor has been considered. The simulation results for torque/speed characteristics under sub-synchronous motoring mode are found to exactly match with those published earlier for the same motoring by Krause, Wasynczuk and Hilderbrandity [8]. Performance of the drive is computed under sub- and super-synchronous speed range for both motoring as well as generating mode. Curves depicting variations of torque, dc link current, stator current, supply power factor and system efficiency are systematically presented and discussed for each case. The

performance under full load condition is tabulated in detail for each case. The full load condition is identified when the stator

is carrying rated current whose rms value is 0.707 p.u. The full

load performance is summarized in Fig. (4.1) for motoring mode operation in both sub- and super-synchronous speed range. The top curve presents variation in supply current over a speed range 0 -

1.75 p.u. This current varies from about 0.75 p.u. at zero speed

to about 1.2 p.u. at 1.7 p.u. speed. Since the stator current is always 0.707 p.u. (full load value), the additional component is

the feedback current present in the slip power recovery loop. The

middle curve represents system efficiency which is seen to be more

than 0.75 p.u. in good part of the considered speed range.

Efficiency drops significantly as speed approaches zero. The

bot-tom curve represents system power factor. The static Kramer drive is known to suffer from poor power factor. It is noted that

power factor steadily improves from about 0.2 t 0.6 as speed is

increased from 0 to 1.7 p. u.

The full load performance under generating mode is summarized

in Fig. (4.2). The supply current is found to vary in a manner U C N 0 U I W r W- E cc N D GO C) CO W N Ia T U II z Q 0

92 almost similar to the motoring mode, discussed above. The system efficiency remains high in sub-synchronous and super-synchronous mode. The power factor variation is similar as in the motoring mode.

It is thus noted the static Kramer drive is capable of operating in a wide speed range with reasonably good efficiency both under motoring and regenerating modes.

FURTHER SCOPE OF WORK

The mathematical model developed in present work can be further improved to incorporate

1. Effect of magnetic saturation.

2. Effect of rotor current harmonics.

3. Effect of commutation overlap.
