In this paper, a loss minimization control method for interior permanent magnet synchronous motors is presented with considering self-saturation and cross saturation. According to variation of the d-axis and q-axis inductances by different values of the d-axis and q-axis components of currents, it is necessary to consider self-saturation and cross saturation in the loss minimization control method. In addition, the iron loss resistance variation due to frequency variation is considered in the condition of loss minimization. Furthermore, the loss minimization control method is compared with maximum torque per ampere (MTPA), unity power factor (UPF) and $i_d=0$ control methods. Experimental results verify the performance and proper dynamic response of the loss minimization control method with considering self-saturation and cross saturation.

본 논문에서는 PMSM(Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor)의 구동 효율을 향상시키기 위한 최대 효율 제어 기법에 대해 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 전동기의 입력 전력이 최소가 되도록 Gradient Decent 알고리즘을 기반으로 하는 최적화 기법인 Adaptive 알고리즘을 통해 전류각을 조정한다. 제안된 기법을 통해 동손을 최소로 제어하는 기존 MTPA(Maximum Torque Per Ampere) 제어 방식 보다 구동 효율을 향상시킬 수 있으며 전동기의 제정수 오차에 강인하다. 1.7kW IPMSM의 모의실험을 통해 제안된 기법의 효용성을 검증하였다.

In this paper, a new approach for the synchronous reluctance motor control which ensures producing maximum torque per ampere(MIPA) over the entire field weakening region is presented. In addition, This paper presents a speed sensorless control scheme of SynRM using artificial neural network. Also, by adjusting the base speed for the field weakening operation according to the flux level, the current and voltage limit, the smooth and precise transition into the field weakening operation can be achieved. The proposed scheme is verified validity through simulation.

In this paper, a sensorless V/f control based on maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) operation for PMSMs is proposed. Given that the MTPA operation is not considered in the conventional sensorless V/f control, efficient PMSM drives cannot be achieved. Therefore, this paper proposes an improved technique based on the d-axis current control to enable the MTPA operation in the V/f control for PMSMs. A stabilization technique is also proposed to improve the dynamic characteristics and stability against load variation. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is verified by conducting experiments with a 250 W SPMSM for driving a blower.

This paper proposes a current control method in synchronous coordinate for vector control of PMSM (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor). In order to control the PMSM by MTPA(Maximum Torque per Ampere), it is necessary to generate the rotating magnetic field to be $90^{\circ}$ with the magnetic field of the rotor, and the current control is necessary. To apply the current control to PMSM, the phase of the current command is also changed in accordance with the change of the position of the motor rotor. In this paper, the control of PMSM is performed through simulation using DC current command in synchronous coordinate system.

This paper forcuses on methods of achieving a direct vector control of induction motors for an electric vehicle based on a closed-loop flux observer. Also over-modulation topology and maximum torque per ampere over the entire field weakening region have been implemented. The proposed scheme is verified through the simulation and the experiment using the chassis dynampmeter and road load driving test for the induction motor controller and the electric vehicle system.

To predict efficiency of interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) for traction motor and to cope with the risk of demagnetization in the permanent magnets, accurate iron loss analysis and understanding of the characteristic of the iron loss are very important at motor design stage. In this paper, we present the method to estimate the iron loss for the IPMSM considering the driving conditions such as both field weakening control and maximum torque per ampere control.

This paper presents a loss-minimizing vector control method for interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM). Conventionally, maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) control, which minimizes copper loss, has been widely used in industry. Iron loss, however, is not considered in MTPA control. In this paper, the loss model, including iron loss and copper loss, is derived to further reduce drive loss. The loss-minimizing vector controller is implemented based on the loss model. The controller generates optimal current vectors according to the operating conditions. The performance and validity of the proposed method are proved by experimental results through comparison with conventional methods.

This paper shows the characteristics of performance for interior permanent magnet machine (IPM) considering driving conditions such as maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) and flux-weakening control especially in terms of harmonic loss. In particular, based on finite element analysis (FEA), permanent magnet (PM) eddycurrent loss and the harmonic iron loss have been computed where the models have been intentionally designed to identify the effects of pole-slot combinations on the loss while maintaining the required power for electric vehicle. From the analysis results, it was shown that the rotor iron loss and PM eddy-current loss of machine employing fractional slot winding are extremely large at load condition. Furthermore, it was revealed that the harmonic iron loss at high-speed operation is mainly distributed over stator teeth and rotor surface, which may aggravate cooling system of the rotor structure in the vehicle.

본 논문에서는 PMSM(Permanent magnet synchronous motor)의 MTPA(Maximum Torque Per Ampere) 운전을 고려한 V/f 제어 시 안정화 기법에 대해 제안한다. PMSM은 V/f 제어 시 부하 변동에 따라 탈조할 가능성이 있다. 제안된 기법은 안정도 개선을 위해 추정된 q축 전류를 이용하여 부하 변동정보를 얻고 이를 바탕으로 고정자 주파수를 변동하여 회전자 속도가 동기속도를 유지할 수 있는 안정화 기법을 적용하였다. 제안된 안정화 기법으로 저속 영역부터 약자속 영역까지 부하변동에도 안정적인 운전이 가능하도록 하였다. 1kW SPMSM의 모의실험을 통하여 제안된 기법의 효용성을 검증하였다.
