Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (permanent + magnet_synchronous_motor)
Selected AbstractsA method to determine direct- and quadrature-axis inductances of permanent magnet synchronous motorsELECTRICAL ENGINEERING IN JAPAN, Issue 3 2010Shu Yamamoto Abstract The equivalent circuit constants of permanent magnet synchronous motors are needed in the calculation of operation characteristics, construction of a control system, etc. These constants can be computed from the data on structural form and materials. However, measurements are necessary to obtain highly precise values. Methods for measurement of the d- and q-axis inductances can be roughly divided into rotational and standstill methods. The standstill methods have the advantage that they are easy to carry out. However, it is difficult to consider magnetic saturation and distortion of the change in the armature winding inductance. The accuracy of the standstill method can be improved if these effects can be readily taken into account. This paper describes a standstill method for measuring accurate d- and q-axis synchronous inductances of permanent magnet synchronous motors. By utilizing the fact that the EMF interference terms in the motor voltage equation considering the distortion of the inductance change are equal to zero when the rotor is in a specific position, the proposed method determines the inductances considering both magnetic saturation and inductance distortion effects from simple off-line standstill testing. In addition, this method is capable of taking cross-magnetic saturation into account when used with the necessary testing equipment. The proposed method was implemented on a 0.4-kW interior permanent magnet synchronous motor with concentrated stator winding. The validity of the proposed method was demonstrated by comparing the measured and calculated results of the no-load and on-load characteristics. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The inverter technology can reduce the energy consumption to less than half that of air conditioners driven by a constant-speed induction motor (IM). This paper reviews the trends and the latest energy-efficient technologies for the motor and the power converter that achieve considerable energy saving.

The proposed vector control systems have the following versatile features. (a) The systems employ the structures allowing control of the stator current through control of the load current. (b) The systems employ unique "stator voltage feedback-use" structures in order to accomplish simply the load current control. (c) The produced torque is directly related to the load current, and the precise torque control can be attained through the load current control. (d) The relation between produced torque and the load current is nonlinear for salient-pole PMSMs similar to the case of no core loss, and a variety of the load current commands can be selected from viewpoints of minimum loss and/or wide speed range drives. The system structures add no constraint to the selection of the load current commands. (e) In addition to the torque control, the speed control can be allowed, where linearity between output of the speed controller and produced torque is kept. The validity of versatile features is verified through the numerical experiments. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
