The abstract on a theme of master's work

Our goal is to improve the accuracy of experimental determination of the frequency characteristics of the conductivity of the stator windings of synchronous machines (SM) according to the measurement of the transient at sudden three phase short circuit on the findings of the electric machine.

The urgency of this work lies in the fact that the accuracy of experimental determination of the parameters of the SM experiments a sudden three-phase short-circuit current (VKZ) by the method recommended by force in Ukraine and CIS countries, the industry standard GOST 10169-77 "Three-phase synchronous electric machines. Test methods "[2], in some cases may be inadequate. In this context requires the development of a new experimental method for determining the set of electromagnetic parameters of the SM according to the experiments VKZ, which will reduce the error due to the exclusion of systematic errors inherent in the standard procedure.

Expected practical results: the application of this method will receive the combined electromagnetic parameters in real operating conditions of CM with different degrees of saturation at a relatively small investment of time to stage experience, and without changing the working patterns of the unit.

Experimentation sudden three phase short circuit (SSC) is recommended for the experimental determination of synchronous, transient and subtransient inductances on the longitudinal axis of the rotor synchronous machines (SM), as well as the corresponding time constants. The procedure for finding the values of these parameters is regulated by a number of documents: the recommendations of the International Electrotechnical Commission IEC 34-4 [1], the U.S. standard IEEE 115 and in force in Ukraine and CIS countries, the industry standard GOST 10169-77 "Three-phase synchronous electric machines. Test methods "[2].

It is known that methods for determining the electromagnetic parameters of electric machines based on measurements of currents and voltages recorded during the experiment, have the error. These errors manifest themselves as variations of the calculated parameters and make it difficult to answer the question: attests whether it is incorrect theoretical assumptions in the development of computational algorithms, or the possibility of non-registration in the experiments required the profile with a specified accuracy. Therefore, he questions the accuracy of experimental determination of the parameters of the SM experiments SSC the subject of many studies [37].

The basis of the standard [1, 2] techniques a simplified model, which in addition to the winding excitation (WE) accounts for only one damper circuit in each of the axes of magnetic symmetry of the rotor SM. It is assumed that the damped periodic component of the stator current at sudden three phase short circuit is not more than two electromagnetic time constants. Also accepted assumption is to neglect the second harmonic in the current circuit, and neglecting the slow rotation of the magnetic flux of cos-aperiodic component of the stator current. Theoretically, the existence of these components in the stator current at SSC was shown in [8].

The authors of [3–5] by analyzing a standard methodology, ascertain the spread even when the automated determination of electromagnetic parameters (EMP) by using a PC and trying to establish its cause in making assumptions associated with the neglect present in the stator current at SSC component of the second harmonic. In this case, they do not examine the influence of slow rotation of the aperiodic component.

In [6, 7] the effect of these assumptions on the dispersion of electromagnetic fields is considered simultaneously. In this study, uses the concept of the authors of [9]. In line with this concept stages of the study are in the following definition of EMP:

 Select a mathematical model of the process SSC;

– Development of an algorithm for finding the parameters;

– Conducting an idealized experiment, aimed at the calculation of the current change in SSC on a given EMP SM and reverse their determination based on the calculation of the transition process;

– A comparative analysis of original and derived from an idealized experiment to EMP.

If the difference between the results determine the EMP in an idealized experiment satisfies a given accuracy, it testifies to the correctness of the chosen mathematical model, and hence its applicability to the real electric cars. Otherwise, it would indicate inconsistency models of real objects. Then it is necessary to clarify the model and produce a new definition of the parameters measured.

Applying the approach described in [9] the author [6, 7] as reasons for the scatter – found influence admissible perturbations associated with the neglect of the slow rotation of the aperiodic component and a simultaneous neglect of the second harmonic current SSC, which form the basis of the standard method [2].

The essence of [6, 7] reduces to the requirement of conducting experiments SSC and processing of raw data in such circumstances under which a model of SM described by equation (1), the maximum corresponds to the real object.

In particular, the proposed transition and subtransient inductances and the relevant time constants of changes in the periodic component of the current is determined separately from the currents in each phase, and then find their average. Time constant characterizing the change in ane-periodic component, it is recommended to determine the current in a "special stage", ie in phase with an axis at the moment of closure coincides with the longitudinal axis of the rotor. In this case, the effect of slow rotation aperiodic-electric flux is negligible. To eliminate the influence of EMP on defined current harmonic parameters of the proposed transition and find the results of measuring the current through a periodic time approximately equal, ie beginning at the time when the aperiodic component is damped.

In these literary sources are not assessed the influence of parameters of SM on the transverse axis of the currents in phases at SSC. As shown in [8], this effect is always the case even when short-circuit from idling. This is due to the influence of resistances of rotor circuits. Furthermore, as already pointingelk, in all cases it is assumed that SM but the field winding has only one damper circuit in each axis of symmetry of the rotor. Currently in solving a calculation of electromechanical transients have a tendency to integrate multicontour rotors. The current standard in Ukraine [2] provides in Section 25 and claim 26 determination of electromagnetic parameters and frequency characteristics based on the rotor of an arbitrary number of units.

Research questions of the mathematical model, laid the basis for a standard methodology for the definition of a set of electromagnetic parameters of the SM based multicontour rotor according to the experiments SSC in the literature were not considered.

Materials and research results. We use a standard methodology for the analysis of the definition of a frequency response (FR) conductivity of SM from the stator winding leads to the above concept [9].

The choice of a mathematical model to determine the electromagnetic parameters and vx, taking into account multi-contour of the rotor is given in [2]. In accordance with paragraph 1.25 of GOST 10169-77 machine parameters on the longitudinal axis should be determined by the transfer function representing the envelope of the periodic variation of the armature current in the experiment SSC. This component is defined as half the difference of ordinates of the upper and lower enve-containing phase current. Introducing the periodic component of the current sum of exponentials, the law of its changes over time can be described by the function

          initial value and decay time constant of k-th exponential component periodic current; n – the number of exponents, equal to the number of account.

Thus, taking into account the variation multicontour rotor stator phase current at SSC has a form similar to (1), the only difference is that the periodic component of the current is not two but three – four (on the recommendation of [2]) exhibitors. In accordance with standard procedure transition–function (3) correspond to the following expressions for determining the conductivity of vx from the stator windings in the longitudinal axis of the rotor:

Then on the basis of the frequency response can be given a graphical interpretation of the standard methods for determining the EMP of the experiments SSC. Relevant construction shown in Figure 1.

From the analysis of Figure 1, it follows that the standard method involves the determination of subtransient the inductive resistance, as resistance machines from the stator windings for an infinitely long slip of the rotor. This corresponds to the fact that the initial value of a periodic component of fault current determines the conductivity of SM during sliding. Consequently,

Currently, the procedure for measuring the parameters of the regime in experiments SSC realized, as a rule, using an analog-digital converters (ADC) or by using specialized digital recorders and their subsequent processing by computer. However, it uses practically the same approach as for plotting the results of measurement waveforms manually, ie, periodic and aperiodic components are, respectively, as half the difference and half the sum of the envelope of the phase currents [6, 7]. Approximation of periodic current is carried by the successive selection first transition (at the final stage of the transition process) and then subtransient (the initial portion of the transfer function after subtracting the already found in transition) components. Analysis of the parameters of equivalent circuits multiloop replacement of some industrial turbine generators, indicates the presence of rotor circuits, electromagnetic time constants are less than half-synchronous frequency. Even if a periodic component of the transient current measured in accordance with the requirements of the standard (the average value of periodic currents of three phases), the allocation of exponentials with time constants, commensurate with the time half-power frequency may not be possible. This is due to the fact that, in this case, the envelope of the experimental curve can be given not less than 0.0033 sec. Discretization of the current of each phase increases, while three times and is half the period of industrial frequency. Therefore, the need for periodic current transient in three – four exponential components to reduce errors in determining the frequency characteristics in the region of large slip as background information in the experiments SSC should use vector representing the transient stator current. Sampling frequency of measurements of phase transient currents using digital recorders, in this case, it may be 5 kHz or more.

Proximate algorithm. Can propose the following algorithm refines the definition of FR.

According to the approximation of the modulus of the generalized stator current vector function (8), the initial values of the coefficients of exponential decay components of the periodic current , which represent the projections of the complex conductivity of the rotor contours at s = – 1 on the longitudinal axis of the rotor.

    Assuming that the values correspond to the slip s = ∞, are the vectors of the complex conductivity at s = – 1:

Given that the time constants found in the original vector or their projections on the longitudinal axis-ing unchanged, calculated the true values of the complex conductivity of rotor circuits in sliding s = 1):

Are the actual maximum values of conductivities rotor contours at s = ∞, that returns the diameter corresponds to the frequency characteristics:<


By (2) is calculated vx conductivity of the stator windings of SM.

Frequency characteristics for the generators MT-30 and TGV-200M, calculated using an improved algorithm in an idealized experiment, practically coincided with the source.

Conclusions. Based on the analytical description of the changes in the generalized vector of stator current for three-phase short circuit on the findings of synchronous machines, a new approach to experimental determination of the frequency characteristics of the conductivities of the stator windings, which allows to specify a standard methodology recommended by GOST 10169-77.
