This paper analyzed the effect of temperature on the permanent magnet flux and output torque. The major parameter which will impact the torque control accuracy of a surface mounted permanent magnet motor is the variation of the permanent magnet temperature. In addition, the temperature variation of the permanent magnet will also influence the maximum torque per ampere of the motor. To analyze the effect of temperature on the permanent magnet, the rotor of the motor was directly heated to measure the temperature and the permanent magnet flux was measured. As a result, the output torque of the motor decreases as the temperature of the rotor permanent magnet increases. Therefore, this paper proposes a technique to compensate the phase current of the motor by estimating permanent magnet flux, and it is proved through theoretical basis and several experiments.

A Simple AC complex circuit analysis for LCL type series resonant converter with phase shift control is proposed. Based on these analyses, a set of characteristic curves which allows a optimal design procedure for this converter is shown, without increasing the volt-ampere rating of tank circuit Especially, inverter output peak current can be minimized in both full load and partial load conditions. The presented design considerations can make the load range wide from full loads to light loads achieving turn-on with zero voltage switching (ZVS) operation. The detailed analysis and experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed design algorithms. (author). refs., figs., tab.

The ampere-hour integral method and the open circuit voltage method are integrated via the extended Kalman filter method so as to overcome insufficiencies of the ampere-hour integral method and the open circuit voltage method for estimating battery SOC. The process noise covariance and the measurement noise covariance of the extended Kalman filter method are simplified based on the Thevenin equivalent circuit model, with a proposed simplified SOC estimating method. Verification of DST experiments indicated that the battery SOC estimating method is simple and feasible, and the estimated SOC error is no larger than 2%.

This paper presents estimation of d-axis and q-axis inductance of an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) by using an extended Kalman filter (EKF). The EKF is widely used for control applications including the motor sensorless control and parameter estimation. The motor parameters can be changed by temperature and air-gap flux. In particular, the variation of the inductance affects torque characteristics like the maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) control. Therefore, by estimating the parameters, it is possible to improve the torque characteristics of the motor. The performance of the proposed estimator is verified by simulations and experimental results based on an 11kW PMSM drive system.

In this paper, some parameters are studied for the performance improvement of a bulk optical magnetic-field sensor. The performance of optical magnetic-field sensor is influenced by optical intensity change and wavelength change of light source, and phase shift so called optical bias mismatch. A magnetic field measuring system based on optical Faraday sensor is implemented and tested in the current range from 10 ampere to 200 ampere. The test result shows implemented system has goof linearity.

This paper investigates the dq current trajectory for maximum torque per ampere(MTPA) operation of an interior PM synchronous motor for HEV(Hybrid Electric Vehicle). Based on the dq current trajectory for the MTPA operation derived from the motor parameters, the change of the MTPA operating point for the variation of the motor parameters including the magnet flux and the dq inductances is considered. The dq current trajectory for MTPA operation is verified through the experiment.

This paper introduces a virtual signal injected maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) control strategy for direct-torque-controlled five-phase interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) drives. The key of the proposed method is that a high frequency signal is injected virtually into the stator flux linkage. Then the responding stator current is calculated and regulated to compensate the amplitude of the flux linkage. This is done according to the relationship between the stator current and the stator flux linkage. Since the proposed method does not inject any real signals into the motor, it does not cause any of the problems associated with high-frequency signals, such as additional copper loss and extra torque ripple. Simulation and experimental results are offered to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this paper, a nonlinear controller based on adaptive back-stepping method is proposed for high performance operation of IPMSM(Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor). First, in order to improve the performance of speed tracking a nonlinear back-stepping controller is designed. Since it is difficult to control the high performance driving without considering parameter variation, a parameter estimator is included to adapt to the variation of load torque in real time. In addition, for the efficiency of power consumption of the motor, controller is designed to operate motor with minimum current for maximum torque. The proposed controller is applied through simulation to the a 2-hp IPMSM for the angular velocity reference tracking performance and load torque volatility estimation, and to test the MTPA(Maximum Torque per Ampere) operation in constant torque operation region. The result verifies the efficacy of the proposed controller.

To operate a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) at a maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) operation point, the exact values of machine parameters such as inductances and back-EMF constant, which are sensitive to motor phase currents and temperature respectively, should be blown. An adaptive estimation method for on-line estimation of the machine parameters is not suitable for practical applications since it has difficulties in estimating exact values and requires complex mathematical calculations. The purpose of this paper is to present a simple MTPA operation point tracking control strategy for vector controlled PMSM drives with slow dynamic loads. The proposed method searches MTPA operation points by modulating current phase angle and observing the variation in command power. The current angle modulation strategy is designed to sense the effect of load variations in the command power. Therefore, the proposed method can track the MTPA operation points of the PMSM regardless of load variations. Computer simulation and experimental study is also presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Newly proposed RG-MADS (Randomly Guided Mesh Adaptive Direct Search) has been applied to the optimal design of Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (IPMSM) which has the distinctive features of magnetic saturation. RG-MADS, advanced from classical MADS algorithm, has the superiority in computational time and reliable convergence accuracy to the optimal solution, thus it is appropriate to the optimal design of IPMSM coupled with time-consuming Finite Element Analysis (FEA), necessary to the nonlinear magnetic application for better accuracy. Effectiveness of RG-MADS has been verified through the well-known benchmark-functions beforehand. In addition, the proposed RG-MADS has been applied to the optimal design of IPMSM aiming at maximizing the Maximum Torque Per Ampere (MTPA), which is regarded as representative design goal of IPMSM.
