Selection, Design, And Field Testing Of A 10,500 HP Variable Speed Induction Motor Compressor Drive.
Abstract
The cooperative effort is described of equipment manufacturers,
the process plant designer and the ultimate user to specify and
design a compressor system that was driven by a 10,500 horsepower
induction motor that was controlled by a variable frequency
drive (VFD) system.
A design methodology is presented which avoids the potential of
VFD system harmonics from coinciding with system mechanical
torsional frequencies. Certain VFD harmonic frequencies that
could not be detuned from system torsional frequencies were
evaluated for steady state synchronous response.
Included are torsional field test data that support the design
methodology that was used to avoid torsional resonance and
predict torsional system response. Additional test data are
presented where the VFD was switched in and out of the system.
