Abstract

The problems of simplified synthesis of scalar energy efficient systems of frequency control induction motor are discussed. The method of special frequency control laws calculated for a given load range is considered as a method to provide energy efficiency.

The calculation procedure of the frequency control law of induction motor is performed by iterative optimization, where the number of iterations can reach several thousand. So some more appropriate simplified procedure for the method of control law forming is needed. This procedure should be suitable for engineering calculations. The hypothesis of "similarity" of control laws is introduced for motors with similar parameters of the equivalent circuit. It is assumed that the control law (quasi-optimal law) is obtained for one motor and applied to other ones with similar parameters of the equivalent circuit with a certain error. Identification of motors with similar parameters is performed via self-organizing artificial neural networks (Kohonen map). The number of clusters is chosen according to the desired dispersion of the motor parameters, which is determined by the deviation from the values of the optimization criterion extremum. The result is presented as hexagonal Kohonen map of 64 clusters where each cluster has its own set of quasi-optimal laws. Thus, it is enough to match the motor with a certain cluster (or classify). As a result the motor gets the suitable quasi-optimal control law automatically.

The paper describes the procedure of the network forming and training. The examples of optimized control laws are given.
