Abstract
  • The Motor Systems Resource Facility (MSRF) at Oregon State University presently conducts a variety of steady state tests on Motors and Generators, with ratings of upto 300Hp.(225kW), using a dynamometer. The dynamometer consists of an induction motor fed by a power electronic converter. A control computer uses a serial link, to send the desired steady state values of speed or torque to the converter. The objective of the work of this thesis was the conversion of the existing control interface, to one that could support programmable dynamic operation. Some of the capabilities that the resulting system has acquired, include the ability to simulate a general, predefined torque or speed profile, from a generalised polynomial function, a sine wave of torque or speed added to a constant offset, and a general purpose mode which allows the user to specify an atypical profile. The conversion to dynamic operation, permits the study and laboratory simulation of dynamic effects like the Sub-Synchronous Resonance phenomenon observed in turbine- generator sets attached to the power grid, the effect of "tower shadow" on wind power generation, time-varying load profiles, testing of machines under real world operating situations etc. Several tests were performed to ensure that the actual speed/torque profiles obtained from the machine, corresponded to the reference profiles specified in each case. Measured performance of specific examples is given.
