Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power group operation processes of generators, and in particular to an operation method of a multi-group motor drive structure. Background Art
[0002] In traditional power generation and motor drive systems, couplings are core components of energy transmission, and their efficiency and stability directly affect the overall system performance. However, existing technologies have the following significant drawbacks:
[0003] Low energy utilization: Traditional rigid couplings suffer from high energy loss due to mechanical friction and vibration, and the power generation efficiency of single-chip motors is generally less than 85%, making it difficult to meet the needs of high-energy consumption scenarios.
[0004] Under load fluctuations or frequent start-stop conditions, traditional couplings lack inertial energy storage and dynamic compensation mechanisms, which can easily cause the transmission system to stall or overload, resulting in increased equipment failure rates.
[0005] Traditional structures are prone to material aging and fatigue fracture in high temperature, high humidity or corrosive environments, with short maintenance cycles and significantly increased operation and maintenance costs.
[0006] In this context, a motor-coupling combined operation method that is both highly efficient and energy-saving, dynamically stable, and has wide-range adaptability is needed to break through the bottleneck of traditional technology and meet the urgent needs of new energy vehicles, smart grids, heavy machinery, and other fields for high-reliability energy transmission systems. Summary of the Invention
