New Opportunities in Real-Time Diagnostics of Induction Machines

Abstract

This manuscript addresses the critical challenges in achieving high-accuracy remote control of electromechanical systems, given their inherent nonlinearities and dynamic complexities. Traditional diagnostics often suffer from data inaccuracies and limitations in analytical techniques. The focus is on enhancing the dynamic model accuracy for remote induction motor control in both closed- and open-loop speed control systems, which is essential for real-time process monitoring. The proposed solution includes real-time measurements of input and output physical quantities to mitigate inaccuracies in traditional diagnostic methods. The manuscript discusses theoretical aspects of nonlinear torque formation in induction drives and introduces a dynamic model employing vector control and speed control schemes alongside standard frequency control methods. These approaches optimize frequency converter settings to enhance system performance under varying nonlinear conditions. Additionally, the manuscript explores methods to analyze dynamic, systematic errors arising from frequency converter inertial properties, thereby improving electromechanical equipment condition diagnostics. By addressing these challenges, the manuscript significantly advances the field, offering a promising future with enhanced dynamic model accuracy, real-time monitoring techniques, and advanced control methods to optimize system reliability and performance.
