Efficiency Analytical Characterization for Brushless Electric Drives
The paper is focused on the formalization of an experimental procedure aimed to char-acterize the efficiency behaviour of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor-based drive. The characterization is intended to expose the analytical behaviour of the system efficiency by the actual operating condition assigned through torque/speed value. The availability of such a relation in a simple analytical form would allow for real-time adjustment by advanced power management strategies to maximize the whole system efficiency. The proposed method is based on a defined set of measures corresponding to several drive operating conditions. A straightforward elaboration procedure is then formulated with the aim to quantify the different parameters, which intervene in the efficiency characterization. The method has been applied on a 155 kW drive. The results show that good accuracy is achieved while keeping the analytical approach relatively simple
