Energy-Efficient Ceiling Fan with Single-Phase Induction Motors

The ceiling fans are the essential commodity in residential and commercial infrastructure. The conventional ceiling fans are neglected for ages for improvement in efficiency. Presently, there is a thrust for energy efficiency from Indian and all the governments around the world. In this paper, the design for improvement in the efficiency of ceiling fan single-phase induction motor (SPIM) is presented for pacing up with the revised Indian Standard (374) and star ratings by BEE, India. The transient mechanical finite element simulation-based validation of the 5 star rated commercial fans, is conducted, and the design is improved in several stages considering the manufacturability and Indian market acceptability. The improved designs are prototyped, and the feedback from the prototypes is used for further design improvement. The challenges and the manufacturing issues are presented for the energy-efficient design of the ceiling fan motor. The experimental performance of the prototypes is investigated and compared with the existing ceiling fan. An energy-efficient design of SPIM motor for a ceiling fan is presented, which qualifies the 5 star rating by the updated BEE regulations. Major challenges in the design of SPIM ceiling fan motors are elaborated. The overall experience of the design methodology is shared as the guidelines for further design work.

Performance analysis of single-phase induction motor based on voltage source complex finite-element analysis

In this paper, to make a compromise between accuracy and efficiency in the design of single-phase induction motors, voltage source complex finite-element model, which is combined with the equivalent circuit method to carry out the performance analysis, is presented. The voltage source complex finite-element method is used to determine equivalent circuit parameters by simulating the no-load tests and locked-rotor tests, while the conventional method is adopted to calculate the performances. Good agreement is achieved between the calculated results and test results, which verifies the effectiveness of the presented method
