This article considers work stability of a system with two-channel regulation of an autonomous electric drive’s speed, where the first channel is a high-torque drive, where the engine is connected through a gear unit with reducing transfer factor; and the second – high-speed with the similar motor is directly connected. The power summation is realized by using the differential gear unit. It is shown that the stable work can be achieved by a fixation of a speed setting through one channel, and the regulation through the other channel at the same time; control algorithms are shown. Optimal values of transmission ratio of high-torque drive gear unit j = 4 are defined, as well as a turn-on factor (rate of participation in transient process) of high-torque motor with its transient process time minimum.
This paper considers issues related to increasing energy efficiency in electric drives of pilger rolling mills, presenting kinematics of such mills, provides justification for the general load chart, presents the detailed review of reference materials on technical energy saving solutions, and suggests a math model of an electric drive with a field regulated reluctance machine. The paper suggests key methods of saving energy in electric drives of pilger mills, namely: kinematic scheme improvement; main energy drainers and ways of energy loss reduction in electric drives with direct- and alternate-current motors, energy-saving electric drive control profiles. The article compares energy-saving resources in electric drives with various-type motors (direct-current motors, synchronous motors, and field regulated reluctance machine), clarifies the scheme of energy-saving resource implementation, provides the qualitative evaluation of electric drive control method efficiency. The accent is made on high energy efficiency of the proportionate control of armature and excitation circuits and across the range of torque in electric drives of abruptly-variable-load mills. The highest economic effect is reached in the electric drive with a field regulated reluctance machine – by means of implementing the energy-efficient electromechanical converter and applying energy-saving control profiles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
