Electromechanical Coupling Dynamic Characteristics of Differential Speed Regulation System Considering Inverter Harmonics Under Variable Operating Conditions
Abstract
The differential speed regulation system driven by inverters, motors and differential gear trains is a complex electromechanical system that achieves speed regulation and energy savings efficiently and economically. In this paper, the complete drive trains dynamic model of the differential speed regulation system with the inverter power supply-motor-differential gearbox-load is established. The inverter power supply considers constant voltage to frequency ratio control, sinusoidal pulse width modulation and inverter, the motors are modeled based on the equivalent circuit method, and the differential gear trains consider a lateral-torsional model with time-varying meshing stiffness and damping. The dynamic properties of the system are analyzed and compared with the variable frequency drive model considering inverter power supply and the direct drive model using ideal power supply under variable operation conditions. The results show that the variable frequency drive model varies more smoothly in the time domain and contains additional harmonic components in the frequency domain resulting from the coupling of the inverter triangle carrier frequency to the fundamental frequency of the power supply than the direct drive model. It also shows that the variable frequency drive model is a more realistic and rational model than the direct drive model. The complex coupling relationship can be seen in the inverter power supply-motor-differential gearbox-load system, where both inverter harmonics and mechanical meshing force harmonics are found in the dynamic response of the motor’s electromagnetic torque, rotor speed; the inverter harmonics are also reflected in the mechanical meshing force harmonics.
