Towards an improved energy efficiency of the interior permanent magnet synchronous motor drives

This paper investigates the possibility of energy efficiency increase in the drives with high speed permanent magnet synchronous motors. The losses are decreased by the proposed procedure, i.e. proper allocation of the available stator current capacity to the direct and quadrature current components. The approach provides increased energy efficiency by varying the ratio between copper and iron losses. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike Srbije, br. III042004

Comparison of three control drive systems for interior permanent magnet synchronous motors

In a previous paper, we proposed a control strategy for interior permanent synchronous motors, which takes into account also the reduction of the motor power losses. The novelty of the suggested approach is that it takes into consideration the variations of all the motor parameters that have an influence on its efficiency. In order to verifyon the field the effectiveness of this new method, we implemented the proposed loss model algorithm in a control drive system and compared its performances, in terms of energy losses with respect to other conventional techniques

Permanent magnet brushless drives

The purpose of this paper is to present an optimal efficiency control scheme for constant power operation of phase decoupling (PD) PM brushless DC motor drives. The key is to adaptively adjust the advanced conduction angle to minimize the system losses for a given operation point in the constant power region. The strategy for constant power operation of PD PM brushless DC motor drives is exemplified using a 5-phase 22-pole PD PM brushless DC motor. In the sections that follow, the newly-developed optimal efficiency control technique is then illustrated. Then, after describing the corresponding implementation, both computer simulation and experimental results are presented, and some conclusions are offered.published_or_final_versio

Characterization of the parameters of interior permanent magnet synchronous motors for a loss model algorithm

The paper provides the results of a detailed experimental study on the variations of the characteristics of an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor, when load, speed and/or magnetization conditions vary. In particular, the characterization is carried out by assessing, for several working conditions, the motor parameters that influence its efficiency. From the knowledge of the variability of these parameters, it is possible to develop a dynamic model of the motor, which accurately describes its behaviour and allows estimating the power losses for whatever speed and load. In order to validate the model, the values of the power losses obtained by using the model are compared with the values measured with experimental tests. The study shows that it is possible to maximize the motor efficiency just acting on the direct axis current component and, therefore, it can be considered a first step towards the definition of a loss model algorithm for a control drive system able to minimize in real-time the power losses of the motor

Modular motor drives for permanent magnet synchronous motors, an overview

Permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) have got a wide range of application in different power ratings and different reliability levels required. To satisfy the requirements for a wide range of the applications, while increasing the system reliability and power ratings and decreasing the weight, cost and repair time, modular motor drives for PMSMs could play an important role in improving the maturity of the technology. However, parallel operation of motor drives will introduce other challenges to the system, some of which will increase the power losses and reduce the system efficiency. There have been some solutions for similar issues in the literature, but not all of them can be applied in PMSM drive applications for the limits associated with specific applications. So, in this paper, a throughout review has been performed on solutions to mitigate the parallelization challenges which is accompanied by relative stability analysis for software-based methods

Comprehensive high speed automotive SM-PMSM torque control stability analysis including novel control approach

Permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSM) are widely used in the automotive industry for electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) propulsion systems, where the trend is to achieve high mechanical speeds. High speeds inevitably imply high current electrical frequencies, which can lead to a lack of controllability when using field oriented control (FOC) due to sampling period constraints. In this work, a comprehensive discrete-time model is fully developed to assess the stability issues in the widely used FOC. A speed-adaptive control structure that overcomes these stability problems and extends the speed operation range of the PMSM is presented. Also, a numerical methodology from which the maximum operating stable frequency can be computed in advance of any experimentation, is developed. All contributions are accompanied and supported by numerical results obtained from an accurate MATLAB/Simulink model.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version

Control of salient PM machine using d-q frame machine model and Matlab Simulink

Tato práce se zabývá synchronním motorem s permanentními magnety na rotoru (PMSM), jeho modelováním a návrhu regulační struktury. V práci jsou uvedeny způsoby a výhody použití permanentních magnetů v elektrických motorech. Dále se práce zabývá transformací třífázové soustavy do dq0. Pomocí Parkovy transformace jsou v práci odvozeny rovnice stroje v dq0 souřadnicovém systému a vytvořeny náhradní schémata stroje v dq osách. Rovnice i schémata zahrnují jak ztráty v mědi, tak ztráty v železe. Náhradní schémata jsou popsány elektrickými a mechanickými rovnicemi a následně překresleny do grafické podoby v programu Matlab Simulink. Vytvořeny jsou dva modely PMSM, jeden s uvažováním ztrát v železe a druhý bez těchto ztrát. Pro oba dva modely je zde popsán postup návrhu regulátorů proudu a otáček. Pro model, u kterého jsou uvažovány ztráty v železe je navíc použito více druhů řídicích strategií a tyto strategie jsou mezi sebou navzájem porovnány.This thesis deals with permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) and its modeling. There are mentioned ways of the advantages and use of permanent magnets in electric machines and machines which uses permanent magnets. The transformation of three-phase system to the dq0 reference frame using the Park’s transformation is described and used for description of PMSM. The equations in dq0 reference frame and equivalent circuit of PMSM in dq0 system are established. These equations takes in consideration copper and iron losses.. Due to derived equations and circuit, PMSM is described and model in Matlab –Simulink is realized. For both of models of machines are designed currents and revolutions controllers. For model of PMSM where losses are taken in consideration is more kinds of control strategies discussed and used. These strategies are compared between each other in this thesis. Also results of simulations of different states are given.
