    Abstract: A method of providing ride-through capability in a chiller/refrigeration system employs a variable speed drive with an active converter stage, a DC link stage and an inverter stage for providing variable frequency and voltage to power at least one motor. An induction motor is coupled to the output of the inverter stage for driving a compressor in the chiller/refrigeration system. The ride-through method comprises operating the active converter to regulate the DC link voltage of the DC link stage to a predetermined voltage level until the current through the active converter equals a predetermined current limit, then transferring regulation of the DC link to the inverter upon reaching the current limit of the converter. The compressor is unloaded, and the power flow through the inverter is reversed to maintain the voltage level of the DC link stage. Pre-rotation vanes, slide valve, or check valve are used to unload the compressor.

    Abstract: A system and method are provided for variable speed operation of a screw compressor (108) to obtain increased capacity and efficiency. The screw compressor (108) is connected to an induction motor (106) driven by a variable speed drive (104), wherein the screw compressor (108) has a variable output capacity that is dependent on the output speed of the motor (106). To obtain increased capacity and efficiency, the screw compressor (108) is operated at a speed greater than the screw compressor's rated speed and does not include a slide valve. The maximum operating speed of the screw compressor (108), which speed is greater than the rated speed, is related to the maximum operating speed of the motor (106) when operated at a voltage and frequency provided by the variable speed drive (104) that is greater than the motor's rated voltage and frequency in a constant flux or constant volts/Hz mode.
