Experimental investigation of VFD-fed scalar control of induction motor for pumping application

Abstract

In this proposed paper, the experimental results on variable frequency drives (VFDs)-fed pumps are taken out into considerations that are obtained from the laboratory set-up and the modelling done by the author. The simulation study of induction machine using the speed control technique V/F for pumping application is made. To survey the drive performance, VFDs manufactured by Danfoss, with their own control system is used as a special planned simulator. The aim of this paper is to compare and evaluate the results taken out in laboratory and MATLAB/Simulink for an effective pumping system. The simulation and experimental results shown in the article are used to determine the performance of pumping system.
