Abstract

Abstract. The work the article analyzes the features of the energy of two-speed elevator induction motors in dynamic modes. The operating modes with variable moments of load and inertia, typical for an elevator electric drive, are investigated. It is found that taking into account electromagnetic transient processes significantly affects the energy indicators of starting, braking and reversing, especially under zero initial electromagnetic conditions. It is shown that the formation of control actions allows reducing the duration of transient processes and reducing energy losses. The results provide a scientific basis for the development of control algorithms that ensure high dynamics and energy efficiency of gear elevator winches of traditional design under conditions of changing operating parameters.
