variable voltage control has some limitations as you decrease the voltage corresponding phase current will increase lead to increase of flux which lead to saturation of motor core and heating of motor to make flux constant and vary speed of motor v/f ratio need to be maintained constant
The function of a frequency drive is to control the speed of an electric motor. In general, a frequency drive converts the ac supply voltage into a dc voltage and then converts this dc voltage into a ac voltage of which the amplitude (voltage) and the frequency can be varied. Giving you the possibility to fully control the speed of the motor. Applications: (big) ventilators, pumps, cranes, elevators and virtually all other applications where electric motors are used.
By changing the voltage through a potentiometer ( eg fan regulator )
Converter is AC to DC. Inverter is DC to AC
Normal shaft generators do not have droop-control for frequency and voltage. Semiconductor (drive) based variable speed shaft generators may have those today.
A frequency converter converts alternating current of one frequency to alternating current of another frequency. Generally it's used for controlling the ac motor speed by changing the supply frequency.
Variable voltage variable frequency
Variable frequency drives (VFDs) control the speed and torque of an electric motor by adjusting the frequency and voltage of the power supplied to the motor. They convert incoming AC power to DC, then back to AC at a variable frequency and voltage. This allows for precise control over the motor's speed and power consumption, leading to energy efficiency and optimized motor performance.
definitly it give more efficient than variable stator voltage.............but in variable frequency ...............the frequency is not only variable....it is E/F control.because to maintain constant flux......... USUALLY THIS SPEED CONTROL IS ODOPTING IN INDUSTRIES......

Sometimes abbreviated to CV, a control voltage is a continuous electrical signal used to manipulate the values of components in an analog circuit... Instead, the pedal is connected to a potentiometer, which acts as a variable resistor providing a circuit for the voltage inside the keyboard.
using voltage controlled oscillator
No. Use standard utility AC, 3 PH voltage to feed a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD). The VFD is then wired to the motor. The output of the VFD varies average voltage and frequency in a semi-constant proportion to keep Volts/Hertz ratio the same to the motor. The operator can then adjust or select the desired speed from the VFD and the VFD will run the motor continuosly at that desired speed. If you were to control only voltage to the motor without adjusting frequency in proportion, the motor would burn up.
USE VARIABLE SPEED DRIVE (VSD) OR ALSO CALLED VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVE (VFD). THE PRINCIPLE IS TO VARY OR CHANGE THE FREQUENCY WITHOUT AFFECTING THE VOLTAGE. THIS IS ONE SOLUTION TO ENERGY MANAGEMENT AND COMBINED TO BUILDING AUTOMATION SYSTEM OR BUILDING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.
Variable voltage control refers to the ability to adjust the output voltage of a device or system. This feature allows users to customize the voltage level based on specific requirements or preferences. It is commonly found in electronic devices like power supplies and battery chargers.
