| description | Abstract The induction motor is known to be the most reliable motor in the industry and is also the most energy-consuming load worldwide. It is noticeable in some production areas that the use of a high-capacity induction motor is not required at some operating times, and therefore it is important to control the speed of the induction motor to suit the operating requirements and obtain highly efficient performance. This paper presents a case study of a drinking water purification plant that uses a variable speed drive (VSD) as a speed controller for one of its induction motors to drive the pump. The VSD is connected to the motor in question to regulate its speed and maintain the external pressure of the station at an appropriate value that ensures water delivery to all branches of the network. 24-hour power consumption measurements of the respective engine with and without the use of a VSD are studied and analyzed to determine the potential for energy savings. Finally, a case study simulation is presented to compare the simulation results with the actual results. |
