Efficiency Improvement of Induction Motors Based on Rotor Slot and Tooth Structures
Journal Title: Journal of Intelligent Systems and Control - Year 2022, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Due to simple structure, easy maintenance and low cost, induction motors (IMs) are widely applied in various industries, accounting for 60-80% alternating current (AC) motors used in industry. However, the efficiency of IMs is very low, and even small improvement can result in significant energy saving. For instance, 1% efficiency increase saves billions of kilowatt hours. Therefore, this paper aimed to improve the efficiency of IMs, thus reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. For an IM with 7.5kW rated power and IE3 energy efficiency, the efficiency is improved by making various changes. Sequential quadratic algorithm and fmincon function are proposed to change the rotor slot and teeth structures, realizing nearly 91% motor efficiency, which is a significant improvement over the original efficiency. It is worth noting that improving the efficiency of IMs saves a lot of energy, especially in cases where IMs account for a large proportion of AC motors.
