This paper presents the self-commissioning for surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor. The proposed strategy executes three tests with a vector controlled inverter drive system. To do this, synchronous d-q axes currents are appropriately controlled for each test. From the three tests, armature resistance, armature inductance, equivalent iron loss resistance, and emf coefficient are identified automatically. The validity of the proposed strategy is confirmed by experimental results.

This paper proposes a novel current-sensorless maximum torque per ampere control for a surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor with low-resolution position sensor. A direct axis current is estimated from the mathematical model of the permanent magnet synchronous motor and the phase angle between direct and quadrature axis voltage commands is controlled to adjust the estimated direct axis current to zero, thus a maximum torque per ampere control can be achieved. The proposed method is suitable for low cost applications with slow dynamic response characteristics.

This paper presents an analytical prediction and experimental verification of the electromagnetic performance of a parallel magnetized surface-mounted permanent magnet (SPM) motor having a fractional number of slots per pole combination. On the basis of a two-dimensional (2-D) polar coordinate system and a magnetic vector potential, analytical solutions for flux density produced by the permanent magnets (PMs) and stator windings are derived. Then, analytical solutions for back-electromotive force (emf) and electromagnetic torque are derived from these field solutions. The analytical results are thoroughly validated with 2-D nonlinear finite element (FE) analysis results. Finally, the experimental back-emf and electromagnetic torque measurements are presented to test the validity of the analysis.

This paper investigates the magnetic excitation force of a surface-mounted permanent magnet (SPM) motor according to the change of pole/slot combination. The characteristics of magnetic flux and radial magnetic force (RMF) due to pole/slot combination were analyzed by using magnetic circuit analysis. Also, the RMF of motors with the variable pole/slot combination was numerically simulated by using the finite element analysis to verify the result of the magnetic circuit analysis. This research shows that RMF ripple is reduced when the number of pole is smaller than the number of slot.

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.

This paper presents the sensorless drive method for mono inverter dual parallel (MIDP) surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM) drive system. MIDP motor drive system is a technique that can reduce the cost of the multi motor driving system. To maximize this merit of the MIDP motor drive system, the sensorless technique is essential to eliminate the position sensors. This paper adopts an appropriate sensorless method for MIDP SPMSM drive system, which uses the reduced order observer and phase locked loop (PLL) to reduce the calculation burden. The I-F control method is implemented for start-up and low speed operation. The validity and performance of the proposed algorithm are shown via experiments with 600-W SPMSMs.

The current control for Interior-mounted Permanent Magnet Motor(IPM Motor) is more complicate than Surface-mounted Permanent magnet Motor(SPM Motor) because of its torque characteristic depending on the reluctance. For high performance torque control, it requirs state decoupling between d-axis current and q-axis current dynamics. However the variation of the inductances, which couples the state dynamics of the currents, makes the state decoupling difficult. So some decoupling methods have developed to cope this variation and each current can be regulated independently. This paper proposes a novel approach for fully decoupling the states cross-coupling using sliding mode control with virtual state for IPM Motor. As a result, in spite of the parameter uncertainty and disturbance, the proposed sliding surface can have the dynamics of nominal system controlled by PI controller.

This paper proposes a fuzzy speed tracking controller and a fuzzy rotor angular acceleration observer for a surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM) based on the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model. The proposed observer-based controller is robust to load torque variations since it utilizes rotor angular acceleration information instead of the load torque value. Linear matrix inequality (LMI) sufficient conditions are given to compute the gain matrices of the speed tracking controller and the observer. In addition, it is mathematically verified that the proposed observer-based control system is asymptotically stable. Simulation and experimental results are presented to confirm that the proposed control algorithm assures a better transient behavior and less sensitivity under model parameter variations than the conventional PI control method.

This paper presents a simple approach for improving the performance of back-electromotive force (back-EMF)-estimation-based sensorless drives for surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motors (SPMSM). Similar to conventional approaches, a hypothetical d-q synchronous reference frame model of SPMSM is employed in the proposed approach to estimate the back-EMFs. This approach also employs a dual phase locked loop structure to compensate for the effect of the dead time and parameter uncertainty of the inverter on the estimated back-EMFs. The proposed algorithm is validated by conducting experiments.
