The effects of voltage variation and unbalance on the performance of an induction motor driven centrifugal pump with a case study is presented.
Abstract
Availability of quality power has become an important issue for industrial utilities due to frequent performance variations in process industries. Increase in the generating capacity has not kept up pace of power demand, which results into shortage of power supply and power system network is normally subjected to varying and unequal loads across the three phases. Continuous variation of single-phase loads on the power system network leads to voltage variation and unbalance, most importantly; the three-phase voltages tend to become asymmetrical in nature. Application of asymmetrical voltages to induction motor driven systems severely affects its working performance. This paper presents the effects of voltage variation and unbalance on the performance of an induction motor driven centrifugal pump with a case study.

A Novel Approach Toward Interpretation and Application of Voltage Unbalance Factor

TL;DR: This paper takes the widely used expression of voltage unbalance factor (VUF) and puts forward the various ambiguities that arise due to voltage variation and unbalance when applied to a test case and suggests a simple solution to overcome the same.

Considerations for improving the non-intrusive efficiency estimation of induction machines using the air gap torque method

TL;DR: The NAGT method combines various estimation techniques to determine the stator resistance, rotor speed and losses non-intrusively as mentioned in this paper, however, due to the various estimation methods associated with this method, the accuracy of the method is compromised.

Cost implication of Line Voltage variation on Three Phase Induction Motor operation

TL;DR: There is an increase in operational cost due to increased energy loss in the windings as a result of voltage variations from the balanced state, with balanced over voltage operation showing more cost severity among the voltage variations considered.

Effects of unbalanced voltage on the operation performance of a three-phase induction motor

TL;DR: A real load test is used to investigate the effects of an unbalanced voltage supply on an induction motor's performance and it is strongly suggested that the related regulations, and a motor's derating factor and temperature rise curves should be based on not only a voltage unbalance factor, but also the magnitude of the positive-sequence voltage.
