A study on the iron-loss reduction of 110kW-class Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (IPMSM) for Light Railway Transit (LRT) is conducted. In general, the iron loss of IPMSM depends on the characteristics of core material and non-oriented electrical steel is used as a core material of IPMSM. In order to reduce the iron-loss of IPMSM, both non-oriented electrical steel and grain oriented electrical steel are applied as core material. Iron loss of 110kW-class IPMSM can be reduced approximately 40% comparing to an existing IPMSM by applying grain oriented electrical steel to the stator teeth.

Numerical identification of synthetic d-q flux linkage, representative parameters for analyzing interior buried PM synchronous Motor(IPMSM) with distinguished magnetic saturation, has been peformed. Particularly, numerical identification of synthetic flux linkage using modified Finite Element Method(F.E.M) has been taken cross-magnetization of multi-layered PM configuration into consideration. Futhermore, experimental identification on the purpose-built prototype has been made to verify the validity of the numerically identified synthetic d-q flux linkages.

In this paper, the characteristics of IPMSM(Interior-type Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) are simulated using 2-Dimensional finite element method. This paper deals with the following characteristics: Air gap flux density considering skew. Back E.M.F, Torque and Inductance. Torque is calculated using current angle which is known from the controller. Direct axis inductance and Quadrature axis inductance are also calculated using energy perturbation method. This results can be used for the computation of the saliency of IPMSM. Computed results are found in satisfactory agreement with experimental ones.

A new flux-weakening scheme for an Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (IPMSM) is proposed. This control scheme enables the maximum torque operation for the fast acceleration in the constant power region according to the current and voltage limit condition. Especially the dynamic performance of the braking in the flux-weakening region is improved with the compensation of the stator resistance. Also since the onset of the flux weakening operation is adjusted according to the load conditions, the machine parameters, and whether motoring or braking region, the stable and precise transition operation into or out of the flux weakening region can be achieved. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is verified through experiments with an IPMSM drive system.

In the case of the interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM), it is important to know the accurate machine parameters in the design step. In particular, d- and q- axis inductance are expected to have ripple characteristics, due to the mechanical structure and the degree of magnetic saturation. In this paper, this feature is expressed as inductance variation. Inductance variation of the IPMSM is calculated with finite element analysis, and the reason for inductance variation is identified. Finally the validity of this paper is verified by the comparison with the experimental results.

In this paper a new controller is proposed to operate the interior permanent magnet synchronous motor(IPMSM) by the control method of the maximum torque per ampere in constant torque region. The implementation method of the conventional torque controller is explained and analyzed exactly. The proposed controller does not use the torque and q-axis current of the speed controller but the amplitude of the stator current in order to utilize not only the magnetic alignment torque but also the reluctance in the constant region, gurantees the linearity of the torque, and is easily implemented. These attractive are verified through the experiment.

Interior permanent magnet synchronous motor is widening its application compared to other AC machines because of magnetic and reluctance torque. Despite of the advantages, improving control performance with parameter nonlinearity consideration is crucial during the field weakening control. This paper shows a maximum power control method at the field weakening region that considers d, q inductance's nonlinearity due to magnetic saturation and d, q mutual inductance. To verify the feasibility of control scheme, FEM simulations and experiments about comparison between linear and nonlinear maximum power control are carried out.

In this paper, a new speed sensorless control based on an instantaneous reactive power and a fuzzy PI compensator are proposed for the interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) drives. The conventional fixed gain PI and PID controllers are very sensitive to step change of command speed, parameter variations and load disturbance. Also, to the estimated speeds are compensated by using an instantaneous reactive power in synchronously rotating reference frame. In a fuzzy compensator, the system control parameters are adjusted by a fuzzy rule based system, which is a logical model of the human behavior for process control. The effectiveness of algorithm is confirmed by the experiments.

In this paper, the performance design and analysis for an Interior Permanent-Magnet Synchronous Motor (IPMSM) that will be used as a traction motor in the e-4WD system of hybrid SUV(Sports Utility Vehicle) and RV(Recreational Vehicle), are investigated using finite element method. In order to improve the accuracy of design, the tolerances of parts and assemblies as well as the material properties of permanent magnet, stator, rotor and winding etc. are considered under the conditions similar to real driving state of motor. Both no load performance test and maximum load performance test, in which real driving state and cooling condition have been considered, are also implemented via proto sample build to verify the validity of motor's performance design.

It is important to know exact values of Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors(IPMSM)' parameters such as stator resistance and inductance in order to have their high performance. This paper proposes a novel motor parameter(stator resistance, d&q axis inductance) estimation algorithm for IPMSM. The proposed estimation method utilizes back-EMF equations and model reference adaptive system(MRAS). The algorithm using back-EMF estimates d and q axis inductances in the constant torque region, and the stator resistance is estimated by using MRAS with the estimated inductance regardless of speed regions. The validity of the proposed algorithm is verified by simulations and experiments.
