SYNTHESIS OF AN ELECTRIC COMPRESSOR DRIVE OF AN ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
The study objective is to improve the reliability and energy efficiency of the electric locomotive compressor drive. To achieve this, the required power of the electric motor was calculated the performance of the compressor unit, the volume of the main tanks and the selected electric motor were checked to start and adjust the capacity at low supply voltage. The task to which the paper is devoted is to design an electric drive for a compressor motor. A vector model of an asynchronous motor was made. The process of direct start-up and starting an asynchronous electric motor with the use of a scalar control system and IR compensation were modeled. Research methods: systematic approach; provisions of the theory of automatic control and electrical engineering; numerical PC simulation using Matlab software package. The novelty of the work is in the use of a frequency-controlled electric drive to start the asynchronous electric motor of the compressor unit instead of the normally installed starting capacitors. This design solution will significantly reduce the amplitude of the starting currents, which in turn will reduce the wear of the winding insulation. The study results are presented, based on the results of the constructed models, as graphs of the dependencies of speed and current during direct start of the electric motor and with the control system. Conclusions: the scalar control system, thanks to the introduction of an intensity setter, as well as IR compensation diagram, allow extending the transition time and controlling the value of the inrush current in acceptable values. Such an approach to make an electric drive compressor motor is able to significantly increase its reliability and service life, as well as to increase the overall energy efficiency of the system.
