FC-1. 2Q vs 4Q solutions
Design and compare drive trains for the two applications; a pump and a wind turbine.
Pump
Drive train with just FC.
Set parameters:
- Rated flow 60 l/s, head 200 m, efficiency 81%, speed 600 rpm
- Grid voltage – 6000 V
- Clean electric room for the FC with abundant heat removal capabilities
- Distance from the electric room to the pump - 30 m
Wind turbine
Drive train with gearbox, FC and transformer.
Set parameters:
- Blades rated speed 20 rpm, overspeed 1,2, torque 60 kNm, 2-stage gearbox with ratio 1:30
- Grid voltage – 6000 V
- Clean nacelle where the FC is installed with abundant heat removal capabilities
Use the same machine type (SCIM) in both cases and keep the same: air cooling, electric machine voltage around 690 V
Compare: size, weight, cost, efficiency of the FC and THD of the two cases. Draw conclusions.
