The evolution of AC motors and variable frequency drives.
Motors
Motors are the most common source of power used by pumping systems. This technology is heavily regulated. Pumps by themselves are not variable speed, an option that many systems need to operate with peaks and ebbs during the run cycle, such as power generation. The addition of a variable frequency drive (VFD) gives it that capability.
Why this equipment is important in overall plant operations.
In this motor type, there is no induced current in the rotor, which eliminates the induction losses and results in increased efficiency, higher power density and lower heat generation.
Advanced planning can make a big difference in resuming operations quickly.
