Energy Efficient Operation of Three Phase Induction Motor using Delstar Conve...IJECEIAES
DELSTAR converter is an electronic system to be interfaced with the existing STAR – DELTA starter for machine tools. Induction motor consumes more power while it is operated at DELTA mode for a long time under no load condition. The proposed system gives the solution for the above stated problem. When the load on the motor is less than 40% of full load, it switches the motor to operate in STAR mode to save energy. When the load increases beyond 40%, it automatically switches the motor to operate in DELTA mode. The starting regimen is not disturbed. The proposed converter is recommended for applications where load changes are not more than 120 times/hour. This can be used with any capacity motor by choosing appropriate current transformers and setting the current level using the potentiometer built in. The proposed converter is designed for 5HP induction motor and experimentally tested.

Most induction motors are started directly on line, but when very large motors are started that way, they cause a disturbance of voltage on the supply lines due to large starting current surges. To limit the starting current surge, large induction motors are started at reduced voltage and then have full supply voltage reconnected when they run up to near rotated speed.

An Energy Fraud Detection Scheme for Power UtilitiesIJERA Editor
Energy fraud is when the consumer deliberately tries to deceive the utility. A common practice is to tamper with the meter so that a lower reading of power use is shown than is the case. This paper develops an automated energy fraud detection scheme for power utilities. In the scheme, when the mains is switched ON, input and output signals are compared to check for any discrepancies. When no discrepancy is recorded, a green LED will be ON until a discrepancy occurs. When a discrepancy is recorded, a red LED at the substation turns ON to notify the operator after which the consumer data will recorded. The nearest substation is then notified after all the data have been taken and the mains are turned OFF. The scheme saves time as well as helping to maximize profit margin for power utilities working in electrical distribution network. The scheme also assists utility companies to keep a constant eye on its customers.:

Minimization of Starting Torque and Inrush Current of Induction Motor by Diff...ijtsrd
Induction motors are considered nowadays the most commonly used electrical machines, which are mainly used as electrical induction motors and sometimes as generators. This is mainly due to the simplicity of composition, low price, light weight, high reliability, easy to command and control performance and not containing parts that could easily breakdown compared with DC machines and synchronous machines. Starting the IM is the most important and dangerous step, where the motor properties play a major role in the evaluation of all electrical motors, and these properties are defined by the following factors Starting torque. starting current. transient state. smoothness of the starting, simplicity and economics of starting. In this paper, three different methods of starting three phase Induction Motor are discussed and compared through curves of currents, torque, speed. These methods are Direct On Line, Auto Transformer, Star Delta, for a constant power load condition. Simulation is made in MATLAB SIMULINK and comparatively results are estimated to evaluate the best starting method for different range of induction motor rating.

Theory and Analysis of Three Phase Induction Motor using Written Pole TechnologyIOSRJEEE
Three phase induction motors are employed in almost all the industries because of its simple construction and easy operation. Efficiency of the induction motor is affected by its fixed losses and variable losses which mainly depend on the input supply voltage and load current respectively. An attempt is made to minimize the iron losses by using the permanent magnet ferrite. A new Three Phase Induction Motor Using Written Pole Technology is proposed in this paper whose stator consists of two three phase windings accommodated in the same core and rotor is used as squirrel cage rotor with ferrite material on its periphery. Shaft loads are categorized as low, medium and high, Stator coils are energized through a controller based on the load demand. When compared to conventional induction motor, the motor efficiency and power factor are improved. Another approach of this machine is that the ferrite layer on the rotor periphery will reduce the motor losses which results in improving the motor efficiency. In this motor, one windings (main winding) is designed for the 238 volt ac voltage while the second winding (exciter winding) is designed for 8 volt ac voltage. Experimental result ensures the considerable increase in the efficiency and power factor.

Design of a low cost compact size starter for low power water pumpseSAT Journals
Abstract In rural parts of India voltage fluctuation is a very common phenomenon because of the unbalanced load. Sometimes this leads to rapid switching of the water pump installed in the household which may burn/damages the coil because of the overheating, as low power pumps doesn’t come with overheating protection. But if we use a starter with water pump then we can reduce its failure probability to a greater extent but generally people prefer online starting of those pumps as they are very low powered to avoid cost and complexity in installment. Here we have proposed a low cost and very compact size model of a starter which can be designed using very cheap and easily available components. It can be integrated with the pump by the manufacturer during the manufacturing to minimize the failure probability.

NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGERS...ssuser7dcef0
Power plants release a large amount of water vapor into the
atmosphere through the stack. The flue gas can be a potential
source for obtaining much needed cooling water for a power
plant. If a power plant could recover and reuse a portion of this
moisture, it could reduce its total cooling water intake
requirement. One of the most practical way to recover water
from flue gas is to use a condensing heat exchanger. The power
plant could also recover latent heat due to condensation as well
as sensible heat due to lowering the flue gas exit temperature.
Additionally, harmful acids released from the stack can be
reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation. reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation.
Condensation of vapors in flue gas is a complicated
phenomenon since heat and mass transfer of water vapor and
various acids simultaneously occur in the presence of noncondensable
gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Design of a
condenser depends on the knowledge and understanding of the
heat and mass transfer processes. A computer program for
numerical simulations of water (H2O) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was
developed using MATLAB. Governing equations based on
mass and energy balances for the system were derived to
predict variables such as flue gas exit temperature, cooling
water outlet temperature, mole fraction and condensation rates
of water and sulfuric acid vapors. The equations were solved
using an iterative solution technique with calculations of heat
and mass transfer coefficients and physical properties.

Online aptitude test management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The purpose of on-line aptitude test system is to take online test in an efficient manner and no time wasting for checking the paper. The main objective of on-line aptitude test system is to efficiently evaluate the candidate thoroughly through a fully automated system that not only saves lot of time but also gives fast results. For students they give papers according to their convenience and time and there is no need of using extra thing like paper, pen etc. This can be used in educational institutions as well as in corporate world. Can be used anywhere any time as it is a web based application (user Location doesn’t matter). No restriction that examiner has to be present when the candidate takes the test.
Every time when lecturers/professors need to conduct examinations they have to sit down think about the questions and then create a whole new set of questions for each and every exam. In some cases the professor may want to give an open book online exam that is the student can take the exam any time anywhere, but the student might have to answer the questions in a limited time period. The professor may want to change the sequence of questions for every student. The problem that a student has is whenever a date for the exam is declared the student has to take it and there is no way he can take it at some other time. This project will create an interface for the examiner to create and store questions in a repository. It will also create an interface for the student to take examinations at his convenience and the questions and/or exams may be timed. Thereby creating an application which can be used by examiners and examinee’s simultaneously.
Examination System is very useful for Teachers/Professors. As in the teaching profession, you are responsible for writing question papers. In the conventional method, you write the question paper on paper, keep question papers separate from answers and all this information you have to keep in a locker to avoid unauthorized access. Using the Examination System you can create a question paper and everything will be written to a single exam file in encrypted format. You can set the General and Administrator password to avoid unauthorized access to your question paper. Every time you start the examination, the program shuffles all the questions and selects them randomly from the database, which reduces the chances of memorizing the questions.
Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

I. INTRODUCTION
Motors in modern industrial systems are
becoming larger due the heavy applications
requirement. Some are considered large even in
comparison to the total capacity of large industrial
power systems [2]. Starting of such large motors can
cause adverse effects to any locally connected load,
other motors and also to buses, which are electrically
remote from the point of motor starting.
Ideally, a motor-starting study should be done
prior to purchase of a large motor. The motor
manufacturer shall provide the value of starting
voltage requirement and preferred locked-rotor
current. A motor-starting study should be done if the
motor horsepower exceeds approximately 30% of the
supply transformer(s) base kVA rating, if no
generators are present [2]. Whereas, If generator is
present, and no other sources are involved, an
analysis should be done whenever the motor
horsepower exceeds 10–15% of the generator kVA
rating, depending on actual generator characteristics
[2].
Squirrel cage induction motor is most commonly
used motor in the world due to its simple design, less
maintenance and simple operation. The rating of
induction motor is available from fraction of watts to
Mega-Watts. It can be used for different type of
applications based on torque speed characteristics
requirements such as constant power, constant
torque, torque increases in proportion to speed,
torque increases with the square of speed, torque
decreases in inverse proportion to speed [5].
Many conference papers have been published on
motor starting with various starting methods and
starting time calculations, but none of them compares
the outcome with the simulation software.
This paper presents the comparative study
between mathematical calculation and MATLAB
result of motor starting time.
II. BASICS OF INDUCTION MOTOR
The basic operation of induction motor is similar
to transformer, where the stator acts as the primary
side of transformer and the rotor as secondary of
transformer as shown in figure 1. At time of starting,
the voltage induced in the induction motor rotor is
maximum because slip is maximum (S = 1). Since
the rotor impedance is low, the rotor current is
excessively large. Due to transformer action this
large rotor current is reflected in the stator. This
results in large starting current (nearly 6 to 8 times
the full-load current) in the stator at low power factor
and consequently the value of starting torque is low.
This large current does not harm the motor due to
short duration.

However, this large starting current will produce
large drop in line-voltage [2]. Table 1 represents the
minimum allowable voltage levels required, when
motor starting is taken into consideration.

conditions during prolonged starting intervals.
(c)- May typically vary by ± depending on available
tap settings of power supply transformer when
provided.)
The starting torque and starting current also
depends on motor class as shown in Table 2. This
change is due to change in value of X1& X2 with
different class of motors as shown in figure 1.

So if we are changing X1& X2, then starting time

Therefore, it is desirable and necessary to reduce
the magnitude of stator current during starting.
Several methods have been discovered to reduce the
starting current. Some of popular starting methods
amongst all are-
1) Direct-on-line starting
2) Stator resistance starting
3) Autotransformer starting
4) Star-delta starting
5) Rotor resistance
In practice, any one of the first four methods is
used for starting squirrel cage motors, depending
upon the size of the motor. But slip ring motors are
mostly started by rotor resistance starting.
III. STATOR RESISTANCE STARTING
In stator resistance starting, external resistances
are connected in series with each phase of stator
winding during starting. This causes voltage drop
across the resistances so that voltage available across
motor terminals is reduced and hence the starting
current. The starting resistances are gradually cut out
in steps (two or more steps) from the stator circuit as
the motor picks up speed. When the motor attains
rated speed, the resistances are completely cut out
and full line voltage is applied to the rotor.
This method suffers from two drawbacks. First,
the reduced voltage applied to the motor during the
starting period lowers the starting torque and hence
increases the accelerating time. Secondly, a lot of
power is wasted in the starting resistances.
IV. AUTOTRANSFORMER STARTING
This method also aims at connecting the
induction motor to reduced supply at starting and
then connecting it to the full voltage as the motor
picks up sufficient speed. The tapping on the

autotransformer is so set that when it is in the circuit,
65% to 80% of line voltage is applied to the motor.
At the instant of starting, the change-over switch is
thrown to “start” position. This puts the
autotransformer in the circuit and thus reduced
voltage is applied to the circuit. Consequently,
starting current is limited to safe value. When the
motor attains about 80% of normal speed, the
changeover switch is thrown to “run” position. This
takes out the autotransformer from the circuit and
puts the motor to full line voltage. Autotransformer
starting has several advantages few of them are low
power loss, low starting current and less radiated
heat. For large machines (over 25 H.P.), this method
of starting is often used. This method can be used for
both star and delta connected motors.
V. STAR-DELTA STARTING
The stator winding of the motor is designed for
delta operation and is connected in star during the
starting period. When the machine is up to speed, the
connections are changed to delta.
At the instant of starting, the changeover switch
is thrown to “Start” position which connects the
stator windings in star. Therefore, each stator phase
gets volts where V is the line voltage. This reduces
the starting current. When the motor picks up speed,
the changeover switch is thrown to “Run” position
which connects the stator windings in delta. Now
each stator phase gets full line voltage V.
The disadvantage of this method is: when there
is Star-connection during starting, stator phase
voltage is *times of line voltage. Consequently,
starting torque is *times the value it would have with
D-connection. This method becomes rare for a large
motor due to large reduction in starting torque.
VI. IMPORTANCE OF STARTING TIME
Large motor over current protection is normally
set to trip prior to the locked-rotor withstand time
(LRWT) provided by the motor manufacturer, after
the calculated motor start time. The locked-rotor
withstand time is determined by the motor designer
based on the heating of the rotor parts for locked-
rotor condition, where the motor continuously
requires a large value of inrush current.
At the time of starting, an induction motor draws
high values of current (motor is a constant impedance
device during the starting condition), that are very
close to the motor’s locked rotor value and remains at
this value for the time required to start the motor.
This is the reason why the locked-rotor withstand
time is used as an allowable time limit for starting the
motor across the line, full voltage [2].
The capability to calculate motor starting time
for large induction motor is important in order to
evaluate the relative strength of the power system.
Typically the motor designer may calculate the motor
starting time at a couple of selected values such as
90% or 85% and then plot the results on the time
versus current curves for the supplied motor.
System designers can use these starting times,
but it is sometimes necessary to calculate the motor
starting times using the results of a power system
studies for the maximum voltage dip at critical power
system conditions. This method can then be used,
using the maximum voltage dip, to avoid application
problems, set motor protective devices and perform
coordination studies with other protective devices on
the system.
VII.CALCULATION USING ACCELERATION
TORQUE AND ACCELERATION TIME
Figure 3 shows the torque speed curve of
induction motor. By this it’s clear that on application
of voltage speed increases from zero along-with
torque. In starting, slip is unity and with the increase
in speed there is a gradual reduction in slip. Motor
comes to rated speed which is near to its synchronous
speed and the time taken to reach this point is called
starting time. By this figure 3 it is also clear that if
the gap between the motor torque and load torque is
more motors will start very fast and this gap between
these two torques is called acceleration torque.
Calculation for acceleration torque and
acceleration time is given below with explanation.

VIII. ACCELERATION TORQUE
A load can only be accelerated when the driving
motor provides a greater torque than the load requires
at that time. The difference of both of this torques is
called as acceleration torque Ʈα. This acceleration
torque will be equal to the multiplication of moment
of inertia of motor and angular acceleration of motor.
Mathematical formula to calculate this is given in
equation 1. Further this angular acceleration can
change in term of angular speed and time of starting.
In this case the simplified assumption is made that
during acceleration period load torque is constant. By
calculating average load torque this assumption can

IX. ACCELERATION TIME
The acceleration time (starting time) tst of
induction motor can be determined from equation 2
by doing some manipulations. As told above that
time is time taken by induction motor to reach at
rated speed & rated torque at rated voltage. Now if
the mean acceleration torque Ʈα and moment of
inertia are known we can easily calculate the value of
starting time.
Starting time = 𝑇𝑠𝑡 =
j∗n
9.55∗Ʈ 𝛼
(3)
The concept is demonstrated with the help of an
example, as given below-
Example: Let an eight -pole SCIM motor with Nr
= 741 rpm, P = 400 kW have an inertia of J = 30
kgm2
at no-load and have an average acceleration
torque = 1.5. (at no load),the maximum time
specified by the manufacturer is 15 sec.
Calculate
a) The starting time at no-load?
b)The starting time together with driven
equipment torque with reference to motor is 19
Kgm2
.
Solution:
a)Rated torque of the motor
Ʈmotor =
9.81 ∗ Rated kW ∗974
Rated rpm
So
Ʈ 𝑚𝑜𝑡𝑜𝑟 =
9.81∗400 𝐾𝑊∗974
741
* = 5157.86 Nm (4)
But at no load
Ʈ 𝛼 = 1.5 ∗ Ʈ 𝑚𝑜𝑡𝑜𝑟 − 0
as Ʈ𝑙𝑜𝑎𝑑 = 0
So Ʈ 𝛼 = 1.5 ∗ 5157.86 = 7736.79 𝑁𝑚
Now by Equation (2)
𝑇𝑠𝑡 =
30∗741
9.55∗7736.79
* = 0.3008 sec
(b) Acceleration (starting) time with load
Ʈ 𝛼 = 1.5 ∗ Ʈ 𝑚𝑜𝑡𝑜𝑟 − Ʈ𝑙𝑜𝑎𝑑
But Ʈ𝑙𝑜𝑎𝑑 =Ʈ 𝑚𝑜𝑡𝑜𝑟 at rated condition (5)
Ʈ 𝛼 = 1.5 ∗ Ʈ 𝑚𝑜𝑡𝑜𝑟 − Ʈ 𝑚𝑜𝑡𝑜𝑟
SoƮ 𝛼 = 0.5 ∗ Ʈ 𝑚𝑜𝑡𝑜𝑟
Ʈ 𝛼 = 0.5 ∗ 5157.86 = 2578.93 𝑁𝑚
At load total moment of inertia in kg-
m2
=30+19=49kg-m2
Now by Equation (2)
Tst =
49∗741
9.55∗2578.93
= 1.474 sec
In this motor the acceleration time tst is lesser
than the maximum time specified by the
manufacturer. Unloaded motors and motors with only
little additional centrifugal masses reach their idle
speed very quickly. But when large centrifugal
masses are to be accelerated, starting times are
generally quite high. This is called heavy starting,
which is the case, for example, in centrifuges, ball
mills, transport systems and large fans. These
applications often require special motors and
corresponding switchgears.
If the curve of the load torqueis complex and the
motor torque is not constant, it is advantageous to
divide the computation into individual zones as
shown in Figure 5

Now the acceleration times for the individual
zones, which take effect in the segment are
computedand added up for each and every individual
speed segments. Further to this, acceleration torque
can be calculated using equation 3.
Now to calculate the starting time of non-constant
acceleration torque is given by equation 6.

Where the meaning of each is same as in equation 2,
except ∑ j*Δ n.
This shows summation of all zones with
multiplication of moment of inertia and change in
speed.
X. SIMULATION RESULT
Simulation study is carried out by using
MATLAB 7.8.0 software with the same eight -pole
SCIM motor with Nr = 741 rpm, P = 400 kW as
considered in the previous example. Figure 5 shows
that there is nearly six time of rated current during
motor starting which is gradually decreasing and
reaches to the rated current within 1.47 sec. This time
is nearly equal to the time calculated by equation 5.
Figure 6 shows the speed vs. time curve obtained by
simulation it is clear by the graph that speed is
increasing with time and coming to rated value in
approximately 1.47 seconds, which is in line with the
result calculated by the mathematical equation.

XI. CONCLUSIONS
In this paper the importance of induction motor
starting time has been described along-with different
type of starting methods. A mathematical formula to
calculate the starting time using acceleration torque,
motor speed and moment of inertia of an induction
motor is presented and the derived results from the
calculation has been verified against the simulation
study carried on MATLAB environment. Results of
both the approaches are found to be in line with each
other.
