Since here, the actual speed is low enough, to decrease the dc-link voltage!

Blackout

Here we have the total blackout. The power is lost. In this moment the speed turns from 500rpm to the opposite direction at 250rpm. The DC-link
breaks for a short time down and comes back in case of the generator effect. This is also the effect why the speed doesn’t stay at 250rpm.

We use the regenerative energy what is caused with the back flowing oil to slow down the back flow speed of the oil column. We see here the
speed (red) of the back flowing oil is much lower than without our controller. This effect stay as long as the oil flow back. This is our backspin
controller. This behavior we can see in all the tests what we have made and recorded at the next pages.

CH1_Speed[U/min] => speed actual value from external encoder
nact[rpm] => speed actual value from calculation

Blackout Grid recurrence
Backspin controller

This is a simulation of blackout duration 7s and 500Nm torque (load simulation). By switch off of the grid the DC-link voltage (purple color) breaks
in. The speed (red) turns from 500rpm to 280rpm in the opposite direction. With using of the regenerative energy, which is caused of the opposite
direction speed we brakes the motor speed from 280rpm to 120rpm. So we decelerate the backflow of the oil. During the test we use an external
encoder to measure the speed (green) and to confirm our solution. The encoder acts only as a tool for our test and for visualization. The current
(grey) oscillates during the switch off procedure and comes back to the previous value (because of the regenerative speed). After the grid
recurrence the pump speed returns to the pump direction and the speed goes back from 120rpm of back flow to 500rpm of pump speed.

˜ 500ms
Here we compare a blackout for 500ms with 200Nm and 400Nm. During the switch off we see a small break down in the DC-link (purple color).
The speed goes down slowly and before the speed turns in the opposite direction (regenerative direction) the power comes back. The speed goes
back slowly to the previous value. The current (grey) stays nearly at his value during this switching operation.

At this example it’s clearly visible that the turn back of the speed always depend on the load what we have at the motor. Here with 200Nm we need
about 2,0s and with 400Nm we need 3,3s to goes back to the previous speed.
