Determination of moment of inertia- Load equalization
This equation is applicable for variable inertia drives such as mine, winders,
industrial robots.
For constant inertia drive dj/dt = 0. Therefore
The above equation shows that the load developed by the motor is counter-
balanced by a load torque T1 and a dynamic torque J(dωm/dt).
The torque component J(dωm/dt) is called dynamic torque because it is present
only during transient operations.

Fundamental Torque Equations
The acceleration or deceleration of the drive mainly depends on whether the
load torque is greater or less than the motor torque. During acceleration, the
motor supplies the load torque along with an additional torque component
jdωm/dt to overcome the drive inertia.
The drives which have a large inertia must increase the load torque by a large
amount for getting sufficient acceleration. The drive which requires a fast
transient response, their motor torque should be maintained at the excessive
value and motor load system should be designed with a lower possible inertia.
The energy associated with dynamic torque is stored in the form of kinetic
energy and given by the equation Jdω2m/dt.
During the deceleration, the dynamic torque has a negative sign. Thus it assists
the motor developed torque T and maintains the drive motion by extracting
energy from stored kinetic energy.
They are:
• Forward Braking,
• Forward motoring,
• Reverse motoring and
• Reverse braking.
Plot of speed torque characteristics of the load/ motor for all four quadrant of
operation is known as quadrantal diagram.
The Motor can work in both, forward and reverse directions, i.e., in motoring
and braking operations.
Therefore, to raise the hoist to upwards, the motor torque, Tm, must act in the
same direction of motor speed, ω. So both motor speed and motor torque will
be positive.
To make these as positive, the power taken from the supply should be positive.
This is called forward motoring.
To prevent this, motor must produce a torque in the opposite direction of motor
speed, ω, in order to produce brake to the motor.
In this quadrant the direction of rotation is positive, and the torque is negative,
and thus the developed power is negative.
Since the machine acting as motor in reverse direction, it receives the power
from the supply and hence power is positive. This quadrant operation is called
reverse motoring.

Components of Load Torque
From the above discussion, for finite speeds,
In many applications (Tc + Cω2m) is very small compared to Bωm and negligible
compared to TL. In order to simplify the analysis, term (Tc + Cω2m) is
approximately accounted by updating the value of viscous friction coefficient, B.
With this approximation, from Eq. (2.2)
where θe is the torsion angle of coupling (radians) and Ke the rotational stiffness
of the shaft (Nm/rad).
Active and
Passive
Load torques which have the potential to drive the motor under equilibrium
condition are called Active Load Torques. Such load torques usually retain their
sign when the direction of the drive rotation is changed. Torque(s) due to
gravitational force, tension, compression and torsion, undergone by an elastic
body, come under this category.
Load torques which always oppose the motion and change their sign on the
reversal of motion are called Passive Load Torques. Such torques are due to
friction, windage, cutting etc.

Time and Energy Loss in Transient operations
Starting, braking, speed change and speed reversal are transient operations.
Time and Energy Loss in Transient Operations can be evaluated by solving Eq.
(2.19) along with motor circuit equations.
When T and TL are constants or proportional to speed, Eq. (2.19) will be a first
order linear differential equation. Then it can be solved analytically.
For any of the above mentioned transients, final speed is an equilibrium speed.
Theoretically, transients are over in infinite time, which is not so in practice.

Time and Energy Loss in Transient operations
In order to resolve this anomaly, Time and Energy Loss in Transient Operations is
considered to be over when 95% change in speed has taken place. For example,
when speed changes from ωm1 to equilibrium speed ωme, time taken for the
speed to change from ωm1 to [ωm1 + 0.95(ωme – ωm1)] is considered to be
equal to the transient time.
Transient time and energy loss can also be computed with satisfactory accuracy
using steady-state speed-torque and speed-current curves of motor and speed-
torque curve of load. This is because mechanical time constant of a drive is
usually very large compared to electrical time constant of motor. Consequently,
electrical transients die down very fast and motor operation can be considered
to take place along the steady-state speed-torque and speed-current curves.
From Eq. (2.2)
where R is the motor winding resistance and i is the current flowing through it.
In many applications, by making use, of speed-torque expressions for motor and
load, it is possible to arrange Eq. (2.23) in integrable form. However, this is not
possible in applications where nonlinear impedance is present in the motor
circuit. Then Eq. (2.23) is evaluated graphically using steady-state speed-torque
and speed-current curves.

Steady State Stability of Drive
Equilibrium speed of a motor-load system is obtained when motor torque equals
the load torque. Drive will operate in steady-state at this speed, provided it is
the speed of stable equilibrium. Concept of Steady State Stability of Drive has
been developed to readily evaluate the stability of an equilibrium point from the
steady-state speed-torque curves of the motor and load, thus avoiding solution
of differential equations valid for transient operation of the drive.
In most drives, the electrical time constant of the motor is negligible compared
to its mechanical time constant. Therefore, during transient operation, motor
can be assumed to be in electrical equilibrium implying that steady-state speed-
torque curves are also applicable to the transient operation.
For small perturbations, the speed torque curves of the motor and load can be
assumed to be straight lines. Thus
where (dT/dωm) and (dTl/dωm) are respectively slopes of the steady-state speed-
torque curves of motor and load at operating point under consideration.
Substituting Eqs. (2.27) and (2.28) into (2.26) and rearranging the terms yields
where ωm0,ωmr and and Tr are no-load speed, rated speed and rated torque,
respectively.
where
Term τm is defined as the mechanical time constant of the motor. It is the time
required for the motor speed to change by (ωm0 – ωmr) when motor torque is
maintained constant at rated value Tr.

Load Equalisation in Electrical Drives
From Eqs. (2.2) and (2.33)
Consider now a periodic load torque, a cycle of which consists of one high load
period with torque Tlh and duration th, and one light load period with torque Tll
and duration tl (Fig. 2.11). For high load period (0 ≤ t ≤ th) solution of Eq. (2.35) is
where Tmin is the motor torque at t= 0, which is also the instant when heavy load
Tlh is applied. If motor torque at the end of heavy load period is Tmax, then from
Eq. (2.36)
When operating in steady-state, motor torque at the end of a cycle will be the
same as at the beginning of cycle. Hence at t′ = tl, T = Tmin. Substituting in Eq.
(2.38) gives
where W is the weight of the flywheel (kg) and R is the radius (m).
