Control of the excitation system of synchronous motors pumping stations.

The results of full-scale studies of unsteady processes during self-starting of electric motors at pumping stations are presented. The simulation of transient processes in the modes of self-starting of an asynchronous Large pumping stations incorporating synchronous motors with powers reaching several tens of megawatts can be used as reactive power compensators in electrical systems and minimize energy losses in networks. The method described in the article can be used in systems for automatic control of the excitation of large synchronous motors [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
