Development of a laboratory simulating system to investigate the effect of mechanical malfunctions in a twin ac drive for cement kilns

In order to investigate the dynamic behavior, to study a variety of operational problems, to apply different control techniques and to suggest functional improvements for a high power electromechanical system, a pilot study on a low power laboratory simulating system is proposed in this paper. Particularly, to investigate operational problems of a twin ac drive with asynchronous machines used for cement kilns, an under-scale laboratory simulating system has been developed and experimental results are being presented in this research work.
