PRACTICAL STUDY OF A CURRENT CONVERTER FOR REACTIVE POWER CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT OF AN INDUCTION MOTOR

Abstract

This research shares the findings from experiments and the study of a
current converter made for controlling and regulating reactive power in three-
phase synchronous motors. Asynchronous motors are among the most widespread
and efficient electrical machines in the rapidly developing energy sector.
Optimizing their efficiency and operational characteristics, as well as minimizing
reactive power, is one of the key tasks. This research focuses on the development
of reactive power regulation systems and control of asynchronous motors, along
with their practical testing using a current switch. The main goal of the study is to
create new systems that improve the ef�iciency of electrical systems by effectively
managing and controlling reactive power while asynchronous motors are
running. Based on this, novel methods and algorithms for controlling and reducing
reactive power in asynchronous motors are tested in practice using the current
switch. The study collected extensive data on the electronic systems and modules,
along with the operational characteristics of asynchronous motors. We discuss
the working principles of current relays, their role in reactive power control,
and practical results. The focus is primarily on reducing reactive power and
improving the overall efficiency of the power system. Based on practical results, the
effectiveness of the developed system and its potential for real-world applications
are evaluated. This research allows for the identification of the components of
innovative solutions related to asynchronous motors and current switches, as well
as their expected impact on electrical systems. The research results also suggest
new technologies and solutions aimed at reforming, optimizing, and enhancing
production efficiency.
