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

Energy Efficient Digital Control of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor in High Speed Region

U ovoj doktorskoj disertaciji optimizacioni algoritam zasnovan na roju čestica primenjen je na problem optimalnog upravljanja pogonom sa sinhronim motorom sa stalnim magnetima pri velikim brzinama obrtanja. Kako bi se smaljili ukupni kontrolabilni gubici električne energije i povećala efikasnost generisan je optimalni referentni vektor statorske struje za širok opseg brzina i za različita opterećenja. Prilikom optimizacije uvažena su naponska i strujna ograničenja invertora, kao i promena induktivnosti statora. Sačuvani generisani vektor struje statora se koristi prilikom upravljanja pogonom u realnom vremenu, a predloženi algoritam se poredi sa standarnim upravljanjem.In this PhD thesis, a particle swarm optimization algorithm was applied to the problems of optimal control of high speed permanent magnet motor drives. In order to minimize the total controllable electrical losses and to increase the efficiency, the optimum current vector references are calculated offline for the wide speed range and for different load conditions. The voltage and current limits of the drive system and the variation of stator inductances are all included in the optimization method. The stored optimal current vector references are used during the real time control and the proposed algorithm is compared with the conventional control algorithm
