THE GRAIN CLEANING PRODUCTION LINES’ ENERGYSAVING OPERATION MODES OF ELECTROMECHANICAL SYSTEMS

Abstract

The research was aimed at reducing the power consumption for grain cleaning by using energy saving modes in the electromechanical systems of grain cleaning units. Specific consumption of active energy per production unit was adopted as a criterion for assessing energy saving operation modes. The applied method of mathematical experiment planning (MEP) reduced the number of experiments to a minimum to obtain a reliable mathematical model of the research object. To determine the optimal specific power consumption, a theoretical method was developed to rebuild the mathematical model. Thus, the minimum specific power consumption of grain cleaning production lines was obtained, which allowed developing science-based rates of power usage that allow energy savings up to 8-10%.
