  2. Vector control (motor) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_control_(motor)

    In vector control, an AC induction or synchronous motor is controlled under all operating conditions like a separately excited DC motor. [21] That is, the AC motor behaves like a DC motor in which the field flux linkage and armature flux linkage created by the respective field and armature (or torque component) currents are orthogonally aligned such that, when torque is controlled, the field ...

  3. Direct torque control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_torque_control

    Direct torque control (DTC) is one method used in variable-frequency drives to control the torque (and thus finally the speed) of three-phase AC electric motors.This involves calculating an estimate of the motor's magnetic flux and torque based on the measured voltage and current of the motor.

  4. Variable-frequency drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-frequency_drive

    Small variable-frequency drive Chassis of above VFD (cover removed). A variable-frequency drive (VFD, or adjustable-frequency drive, adjustable-speed drive, variable-speed drive, AC drive, micro drive, inverter drive, variable voltage variable frequency drive, or drive) is a type of AC motor drive (system incorporating a motor) that controls speed and torque by varying the frequency of the ...

  5. Synchronous motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_motor

    A permanent magnet synchronous motor and reluctance motor requires a control system for operating (VFD or servo drive). There is a large number of control methods for synchronous machines, selected depending on the construction of the electric motor and the scope. Control methods can be divided into: [21] [22] Scalar control. V/f control ...

    For the same application, the program would select a 125 kW gen-set when using a variable frequency drive and a primary reactor bypass with a 30% starting voltage drop, cutting the gen-set in half (Slides 36–39). [5] Energy Savings – "Most motors turn at nearly constant speed. However, much of the time the devices they drive operate at less ...

  7. Braking chopper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braking_chopper

    This arises, for example, when a magnetized motor is being rotated by an overhauling load and so functions as a generator feeding power to the DC voltage intermediate circuit. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] They are an application of the chopper principle , using the on-off control of a switching device.

  8. Space vector modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_vector_modulation

    Space vector modulation (SVM) is an algorithm for the control of pulse-width modulation (PWM), invented by Gerhard Pfaff, Alois Weschta, and Albert Wick in 1982. [1] [2] It is used for the creation of alternating current (AC) waveforms; most commonly to drive 3 phase AC powered motors at varying speeds from DC using multiple class-D amplifiers.

    Piping and instrumentation diagram of pump with storage tank. Symbols according to EN ISO 10628 and EN 62424. A more complex example of a P&ID. A piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) is defined as follows: A diagram which shows the interconnection of process equipment and the instrumentation used to control the process.
