Abstract

There are several problems existing in the direct starting of asynchronous motor such as large starting current, reactive power absorption from network side and weak interference-resistance, etc. Aiming at this, a comprehensive energy-saving optimization model of asynchronous motor for voltage regulation based on static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is put forward. By analyzing the working principle and operation performance of static synchronous compensator regulating voltage, a new energy-efficient optimization method for asynchronous motor is proposed based on the voltage regulator model to achieve soft start, continuous dynamic reactive power compensation and the terminal voltage stability control. The multi-objective optimal operation of asynchronous motor is realized by controlling the inverter to adjust the reactive current dynamically. The strategy reduces the influence of starting current and grid voltage by soft starting, and realizes the function of reactive power compensation and terminal voltage stabilization. The effectiveness and superiority of the proposed model is verified by the simulation analysis and the results of comparison with the motor started directly.
