Design of a Circuit-Field Model of a Closed-Loop Electric Drive System Based on a Switched Reluctance Motor
(Dniprovsky State Technical University, Kamianske, Ukraine, 2024) Kachura, Oleksii V.; Kolychev, Serhii V.; Suhal, Yevhen O.; Kuznetsov, Vitaliy V.; Nikolenko, Anatolii V.
ENG: The distribution of switched reluctance motors (SRM) is due to their specific properties: high reliability due to the absence of sliding contacts, precise positioning, wide range of regulation. These properties allow the use of SRM in various adjustable electric drives in conjunction with semiconductor control systems. The complexity of the study such systems is a correct representation of both, the control system and the motor, taking into account their mutual influence and energy exchange. In addition, as a rule, SRM have a rather specific design, which limits the use of classical methods for their calculation and causes the use of numerical methods. The paper presents a mathematical model of a closed loop drive system on the rotor position and speed, based on the SRM. As a result of the unification of the SRM field model constructed on the basis of the Laplace and Poisson equations and the circuit model of the control system, a circuit-field mathematical model is obtained. The mathematical model takes into account the design features of the motor and allows to explore a drive system in dynamic modes of operation. An algorithm for switching power inverter keys for four phases of the SRM is developed. From the obtained values of magnetic induction and tension tensors the electromagnetic moment of the motor calculated. Electromagnetic and electromechanical parameters of the serial SRM-57-100-4 in the start-up mode obtained for the proposed model.
Dynamic Modeling of Induction Motor Performance under Power Quality Disturbances
(Український державний університет науки і технологій, ННІ «Дніпровський металургійний інститут», ІВК ≪Системні технології≫, Дніпро, 2026) Kuznetsov, Vitalii V.; Nikolenko, Anatolii V.; Stopkin, Vasyl V.; Martyntsev, Viacheslav; Tuhushy, Roman; Teslenko, Ivan
ENG: The paper presents a dynamic electromagnetic model of a three-phase squirrel-cage asynchronous motor developed to simulate its operation under real power quality disturbances. The relevance of this work is driven by the increasing impact of electromagnetic compatibility issues and energy losses in industrial systems exposed to voltage asymmetry and harmonic distortion–conditions typical for networks with nonlinear loads such as welding equipment, arc furnaces, and frequency converters. Traditional motor models, which assume ideal supply conditions, are not sufficient for accurately predicting performance degradation under such disturbances. To address this limitation, the proposed model is based on space-time complexes and an extended form of the Park–Gorev equations. A key feature of the model is the inclusion of magnetic core saturation, represented through a polynomial dependence of mutual inductance on magnetizing current, enabling more realistic simulation under high-load and unbalanced conditions. The model was tested on an MTKH 112-6 motor (5.3 kW) under two scenarios: ideal sinusoidal voltage and distorted asymmetric supply with harmonics up to the 10th order. The results showed that voltage distortion leads to increased losses in the stator (from 491.3 W to 498.3 W) and rotor (from 652.2 W to 661.5 W), a decrease in efficiency (from 81.4% to 81.2%), and a significant drop in power factor (from 0.98 to 0.90). Additionally, distorted current waveforms and torque pulsations confirmed higher electromagnetic stress. The model demonstrated strong agreement with experimental data (RMSE < 4%), confirming its reliability for applications in diagnostics, predictive maintenance, digital twins, and simulation environments. Unlike traditional Fourier-based approaches, the use of space-time complexes enables comprehensive modeling of both steady-state and transient processes without explicit harmonic decomposition. This research contributes to the development of energy-efficient and intelligent industrial systems. Future work will focus on incorporating stochastic elements to account for dynamic variations in power quality, supporting predictive control and advanced automation within Industry 4.0.

Identification of the Thermal Process in an Induction Motor
(Dnipro University of Technology, Dnipro, Ukraine, 2022) Kuznetsov, Vitalii V.; Tryputen, M.; Nikolenko, Anatolii V.; Tsyplenkov, Dmytro; Kuvaiev, Victor; Savvin, Oleksandr V.
ENG: Purpose: synthesis of a mathematical model of an asynchronous motor, taking into account the impact of changes in the quality of electricity on the processes of heating and heat exchange for an economically justified choice of means of protection. Methodology: Theoretical substantiation of the expediency of using a one-mass thermal model of an asynchronous motor, for the conditions of operation of the latter in conditions of low-quality electricity, in order to determine losses in it. Results: Experimental studies of the operation of an asynchronous motor at nominal load were carried out. The obtained results of the measurements made it possible to determine the parameters of the single-mass thermal model, the heat transfer coefficient of the engine, and the coefficient of its heat capacity. A single-mass thermal model of an induction motor is a mathematical model used to describe the thermal processes occurring in an induction motor. This model is based on the assumption that all motor elements can be combined into one mass that heats up during engine operation. The model assumes that the thermal capacity of the motor is a constant, and the heat flow that is released during the operation of the motor is proportional to the square of the current passing through the motor windings. In addition, the model assumes the presence of thermal conductivity between the mass of the motor and the external environment, which affects the rate of heat dissipation. Scientific novelty: A methodology for determining losses in an asynchronous motor using a synthesized mathematical model is proposed, taking into account the influence of changes in the quality of electricity on the processes of heating and heat exchange in it. Practical significance: The obtained results indicate the adequacy of the proposed thermal model of an asynchronous motor operating in a network with low-quality electricity. Taking into account the fact that for many types of engines in the reference literature, there are no necessary data on the coefficients of heat transfer and heat capacity, and only the thermal time constants for certain types of engines are given, the value of the specified parameters of the model can be obtained on the basis of the methodology presented in the work. A single-mass thermal model can be useful for analyzing the thermal processes occurring in an induction motor and for improving the efficiency of the motor. In particular, it can help determine the optimal operating temperature of the motor, as well as calculate the necessary cooling system to ensure stable operation of the motor under conditions of variable load and temperature conditions.

(Elsevier/SSRN, 2021) Bezugliy, Anatolii V.; Nikolenko, Anatolii V.; Shevchenko, D. V.; Ovcharuk, Anatolii N.; Kuvaev, Viktor Iu.; Bezugliy, V. A.; Zamkovoy, O. V.
ENG: Purpose. The aim of the authors is to find a technical solution to effectively control the appearance of an arc discharge in the subelectrode space of each of the six electrodes in submerged-arc furnaces from operational point of view. Methodology. A scheme was drawn up for modeling of the furnace circuit of a six-electrode furnace, which made it possible to obtain the zero point offset voltage and control its third harmonic and other components. For this purpose, two three-phase systems were created in the electrical circuit of the six-electrode furnace, consisting of half-phases of odd and even electrodes. For each of these systems, an artificial symmetric "star" was created separately. The neutral offset voltage for each of the systems was measured between the star zero point and the conductive hearth. Findings. Analysis of the harmonic composition of the shape of the neutral offset voltage curve, created by using an artificial symmetric star, made it possible to obtain a number of information (dependencies) that can be used in control algorithms. The proposed measuring scheme was tested on operation industrial six-electrode furnace of the Pobuzhsky Ferronickel Plant. During the melting, arcs were artificially created under the electrodes. Wherein: 1) the presence of an arc discharge was confirmed by the appearance of the third harmonic of the zero point offset voltage; 2) phase shifts of the first harmonic unambiguously indicated to the electrode with an arc discharge. Practical value The proposed method for monitoring the presence of electric arcs under the electrodes can be used to control ore-thermal furnaces both independently and as an addition to the already used systems for monitoring and controlling the electric mode of six-electrode furnaces.
Improving the Efficiency of the Ferroalloy Smelting Process in Electric Arc Furnaces by Improving Control and Management of Technological Modes
(Український державний університет науки і технологій, ННІ «Дніпровський металургійний інститут», ІВК ≪Системні технології≫, Дніпро, 2025) Nikolenko, Anatolii V.; Nezhurin, Vadym; Kuvaev, Viktor; Verovkin, Oleksandr; Bashko, Volodymyr; Kopysov, Vladyslav; Koliadenko, Oleksandr
ENG: The article addresses the issues of improving the efficiency of ferroalloy smelting in electric arc furnaces by enhancing the control and management of technological regimes. Recent global trends, such as the increase in the production of high-quality alloy steels and semiconductor products, have led to a sharp rise in the demand for ferroalloys and crystalline silicon. In this context, the intensification of technological processes and the optimization of energy consumption in ferroalloy electric furnaces have become particularly relevant. The ferroalloy smelting process is based on the carbothermic reduction of metals from their oxides, occurring at high temperatures with significant heat absorption. Although the mechanisms and kinetics of the main reduction reactions have been well studied, in industrial conditions, the techno-economic indicators of the process are significantly inferior to those achieved in laboratory settings. The extraction rate of target elements decreases to 75–80%, and the energy consumption exceeds the theoretically necessary amount by 1.5–2 times. Traditional approaches to improving the ferroalloy smelting process through the enhancement of furnace designs and the selection of charge materials with specific physico-chemical properties have largely exhausted their potential. In the context of continuously rising energy costs and deteriorating raw material quality, the urgent problem now lies in implementing fundamentally new approaches to technological process control, focused on detailed monitoring and analysis of the furnace’s current state. The authors justify the necessity of transitioning from the "input-output" control system to a more advanced "input-state-output" principle, which enables real-time analysis of the furnace workspace parameters and prompt influence on the course of the technological process. In particular, significant attention is devoted to the development of methods for analyzing the electrical, thermal, and physico-chemical characteristics of the active zone of the furnace, which determine the main transformation processes of the charge. The paper discusses the design features of electric arc furnaces and describes the structure of the workspace for different types of processes - slag-free and slag-forming. It is shown that the distribution of energy among the zones of the charge, the arc, and the melt has a substantial impact on the techno-economic indicators of production. The peculiarities of arc burning, heat transfer processes, and ionization in the gas cavities of the furnaces are studied. The article highlights the main methods for investigating processes in furnaces: probing, analyzing oscillograms of current and voltage, determining the resistances of the charge and melt, as well as modern methods for assessing power distribution across furnace zones based on measurements of electrical parameters. Special attention is paid to the problem of increasing the accuracy of assessing the parameters of energy processes without interfering with the technological process. The authors emphasize the importance of optimizing the modes of electric power supply and the structural parameters of furnaces to ensure the stability of the bath operation, reduce the dispersion of fluctuations, and minimize losses. Methods for selecting optimal electrode immersion parameters, managing charge regimes, and selecting charge materials considering their electrophysical properties are presented. The article makes a significant contribution to the creation of a scientific basis for improving the efficiency of ferroalloy smelting, which is of particular importance in the context of the modern energy crisis and the growing demands for the quality of metallurgical industry products.
The Influence of Reactive Power Compensation Methods on the Burning Characteristics of Shunted Electric Arc in an Ore Reduction Furnace
(Dnipro University of Technology, Dnipro, 2024) Nezhurin, Vadym I.; Nikolenko, Anatolii V.; Tsyplenkov, D.; Bobrov, O.; Fedorov, Serhii S.; Savvin, Oleksandr V.
ENG: The purpose of the work was to study the effect of compensation on the stability of the combustion of an electric arc in the furnace bath. Methodology. The results of the research of operating furnaces by traditional methods, such as measurement and oscillography of the form of voltage and current on the electrodes during the smelting of ferroalloys, were used. Results. Schemes of transverse capacitive compensation on the high or medium voltage side and longitudinal capacitive compensation in the medium voltage circuit of the furnace transformer are used for Electric ore reduction furnaces. Electric ore reduction furnaces are large consumers of reactive power, and their power has already reached such an amount that the value of the inductive voltage drop becomes unacceptably large; and their natural power factor does not exceed the value of 0.6–0.7. Compensation of the reactive power of the longitudinal compensation devices is traditionally resolved by usage of capacitor banks. Determined that longitudinal compensation devices are based on the phenomenon of voltage resonance, then if there are active, inductive and capacitive resistances in the furnace circuit – the arc burns continuously, even in the case of partial compensation. This mode occurs at a power factor of about 0.85. In case of full compensation of the inductive component of resistance of the furnace circuit, the mode of arc burning changes and becomes intermittent. Scientific novelty. Determined that with a fixed value of the power factor and the value of conductivity bc, it is very difficult to achieve ideal current resonance, and when bc = −⌂bl+bl+⌂blс the burning mode of the electric arc will be continuous; however, if the capacitive conductivity becomes more inductive, overcompensation is possible. In the case of transverse compensation, the total power of the furnace unit should be approximately 10% higher. Practical significance. The results obtained can be used for a reasoned selection of reactive power compensation installations for existing ore reduction electric furnaces. With full compensation of the reactive power (transverse and longitudinal), the arc burning mode of the ore reduction furnace becomes intermittent.

ENG: The verification calculation of the serial machine of direct current (DCM) MUN-2 with a modified excitation system based on the finite element method (FEM), which allows to investigate the characteristics and electromagnetic parameters of DCM taking into account new design solutions in static, quasi-static and dynamic modes of operation. The finite element model of the DCM can be combined with the chain model of the power supply based on the joint solution of the field and circuit equations, which makes it possible to investigate the characteristics of the engine in various modes when the anchor winding supplies signals of any shape. Based on the obtained results, the verification calculation of the DCM MUN-2 with a modified excitation system based on MSE allows the study of the characteristics and electromagnetic parameters of the DCM, considering new constructive solutions in dynamic modes of operation. The resulting DCM field model can be combined with the power source circuit model based on the joint solution of the field and circuit equations, which makes it possible to study the characteristics of the motor in different modes when feeding the armature winding with signals of any shape. The work established that the motor reaches the maximum rotation speed after 300 ms at a voltage of 120 V on the armature winding. At the same time, there is a surge in the starting current of the armature up to 2.0 A with subsequent stabilization at the level of 0.08 A. The starting torque reaches 1.2 Nm. The MUN-2 reaches the nominal rotation frequency at the nominal load, accompanied by an increase in the armature winding current to 0.7 A. During the operation of the motor, an electromotive force is induced in the armature winding, which, when the motor reaches the nominal rotation speed, stabilizes at the level of 20 V and has a peak character. Maxwell’s system of electromagnetic fields and analytical and mathematical methods for partial differential equations are used to solve the problems. The finite element method is used to solve the differential equations of the magnetic field.

(Polish Society of Technical Diagnostics (Polskie Towarzystwo Diagnostyki Technicznej - PTDT), 2023) Druzhinin, Valeriy; Sivyakova, Galina; Kalinin, Alexey; Tytiuk, Valerii; Nikolenko, Anatolii V.; Kuznetsov, Vitaliy V.; Kuzmenko, Mykhailo
ENG: In recent years, due to the tightening of competition in the global market of steel producers, the requirements for the quality of hot-rolled steel have increased. The finishing group of the rolling mill is characterized by a complex structure of mechanical and electrical parts. The operation of electric drive systems of such units is characterized by the interrelation of electromagnetic processes, mechanical phenomena and technological factors. As experimental studies have shown, the quality of the supply voltage is inextricably linked with the impact nature of the loads in the rolling stands of the roughing and finishing groups of the hot rolling mill. A decrease in the supply voltage may be accompanied by the development of emergency modes of synchronous electric drives, leading to a decrease in the quality of the finished product.The paper developed a mathematical model of the power supply system of the rolling mill JSC "ArcelorMittal Temirtau". It is shown that this can lead to loss of synchronism of the synchronous motor. Such a voltage drop has a significant impact on the operation of DC electric drives of the finishing group. Various strategies are proposed to counter the development of emergency situations.

(Український державний університет науки і технологій, ННІ ≪Інститут промислових та бізнес технологій≫, ІВК ≪Системні технології≫, Дніпро, 2024) Bondar, Oleh I.; Nikolenko, Anatolii V.; Kovalenko, Viktor; Kitaev, Oleh; Stepanenko, Oleh; Siversky, Serhii; Sprysa, Vasyl
ENG: The paper proposes a generalized scheme for replacing the electrolyzer for the deposition of metal coatings. As nonlinear elements of the specified scheme, the dependences of the partial currents of metal dissolution and deposition on the near-anode or near-cathode voltage drop are considered, respectively. The possibility of applying certain simplifications in the general scheme, depending on the peculiarities of the deposition process of one or another metal, was also analyzed. At the same time, the general structure of approximating expressions is proposed and the approximation coefficients for individual nonlinear electrochemical elements are determined. The specified expressions differ from the previously known ones in that their structure is suitable for obtaining the general regularities of electromagnetic processes that take place in systems of pulse electrodeposition of metals in an explicit form.

(Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies, Dnipro, 2025) Shevchenko, D. V.; Ovcharuk, Anatolii M.; Gladkih, V. A.; Bezugliy, Anatolii V.; Nikolenko, Anatolii V.
ENG: The paper presents the results of a study of the electrical modes of ferronickel furnaces OTF-1 and OTF-2 at the Pobuzhsky ferronickel plant. It was found that the furnaces operate in arcless mode. An asymmetrical voltage mode is observed: electrode casing - under, which indicates an unbalanced mode of the furnace. As a result of measurements, a significant transfer of power was detected in the area of the electrical circuit of the 4th, 5th, 6th electrodes. An analysis of the electrical mode of a 48 MVA round ferronickel furnace in the city of Hua-Hua (China) showed that the use of a furnace transformer without a voltage booster and an autotransformer makes it possible to provide the necessary electrical mode of ferronickel furnaces. An analysis of the electrical mode of a 90 MVA round ferronickel furnace in Guatemala showed the possibility of operating these furnaces in a combined mode, i.e. in the presence of an electric arc, which is controlled by the resistance of the electrodes and the power ratio in the electric arc and slag.
