Design and simulation of thyristor switching system for reactive power control and motor power efficiency control

Nowadays, the majority of the increasing energy consumption is consumed by industrial organizations that are constantly growing and evolving. A large part of the energy used in industry is consumed by electric motors. As a result of work to be done on the efficiency of electric motors, large declines in energy consumption values can be established. In this study, a new motor drive which is designed to provide efficiency in asynchronous motor that is the most commonly used industry is presented. The driver is modeled in PSCAD/EMTDC. Designed driver provides energy-efficiency in motors which operating at lightly loads. The proposed methods provide superior performance compared to conventional methods. The aim of the thesis is that design and simulation a motor drive which provide energy efficiency in 7.5 kW induction motor. The performance and provided efficiency values of the proposed motor driver are investigated with different simulation studies by PSCAD program.
