I am currently working on a university assignment and am quite confused in the following design problem...
Assume that a new in a facility 3 new plants are being setup. 2 of these plants have all motors rated at 50 hz while the third one has all motors operating at 60 hz. the first two plants require electrical power of around 40 MW and the 60 hz plant requires 6 MW. Which would be a better solution for the configuration of power generation...
(1) Setting up two suitably rated generators one that generates output at 50 Hz for the 50 hz plant and the other one generates output @ 60hz for the other plant...
(2) Or Setting up a single generator of 50 Hz and all motors of the 60 hz plant to be connected via VFD's...
note :Standard LV voltage @ 50hz is 400V p-p
All motors in the 60 Hz plant (180 total) operating at 480V p-p ,60hz
My Understanding of this problem is that exactly what would be the impact of using so many VFD's in the Plant...
Any help would be highly Appreciated...
