      The goal Students are introduced with methods of consideration of Electrical drives as a conumer of electrical energy. Review of options for increase of the energy efficiency of electrical drive- in the design stage, during commissioning and by optimization of the process driven by the drive in consideration. Methods of analyses of the influence the drive has on the supply grid and means for mitigation of negative effects.
      The outcome The ability to analyze the electrical drive from the electrical energy consumer point of view, and aspects of the supply grid connection. Preparation and training for the analyses of energy efficiency of the electrical drive and the driven technological process as a whole.

      Contents of lectures Introduction. Electrical drive as a demanding consumer of electrical energy. Active and reactive power, distortion power. Review of the definitions of active and total reactive power. Instantaneous and effective values of power, power factor, displacement factor. Energy efficiency of a process. Importance and influence of the speed control to the energy efficiency. Energy efficiency of the components of the electrical drive: load (process), gear, motor, power converter. Losses in power converter and motor. Optimization of losses (flux optimization). Influence of the electrical drive to the supply grid – effects of load changes, dynamic regimes, energy recuperation (recovery). Review of rectifier modules for single and multi-motor drives. Analyses of influence of passive (diode), active (regenerative) and low harmonic rectifier modules to the power supply grid. Harmonic distortion of voltage and current. Typical methods for compensation of reactive power and higher order harmonics in plants where the dominant energy consumers are electrical drives. Active filters, principle of operation, dimensioning and selection, and analyses. Methods of measurement of power, energy, power factor, harmonic distortion in electrical drives.
