Abstract

<p>The paper offers the obtained quantitative assessment of the performance and energy parameters of a process system composed of an asynchronous motor, a fluid-handling machine and a pipeline when using two methods of performance control, in particular, throttling and speed control methods. Taking into account nonlinearity of mathematical representation of fluid-handling machines and asynchronous drive motors, the starting conditions were analysed using nonlinear differential calculus. The calculations for the models were performed using the MATLAB software package. Transient profiles of flow and head, stator current, angular frequency and torque of an asynchronous motor were obtained at pump startup and control of pump capacity. It has been found that the developed mathematical model of a process system composed of an asynchronous motor, a fluid-handling machine and a pipeline allows obtaining quantitative estimation of the performance and energy parameters of the unit when using two methods of the pump capacity control. The use of frequency method allows to decrease the pump rotation speed and significantly reduce the power consumed by the unit and provide energy-saving mode of operation, the economic efficiency of which depends on the range of feed control.</p>
