Abstract

Permanent magnet machines have been used in the high-speed drive applications due to their high-efficiency, high-power-density, and wide-speed range characteristics. However, control of such high-speed permanent magnet machines machine is always challenging and proper flux-weakening controller design is essential to achieve high performance of these machines. In this paper, an improved feedforward flux-weakening control scheme for interior permanent magnet synchronous machine (IPMSM) drives are proposed. The proposed method identifies optimal d-axis and q-axis currents under different operation regions using maximum-torque-per-ampere curve, voltage limit, and current limit curves with a fast Newton–Raphson algorithm. To ensure the optimal performance of the control mechanism, effects of inductance variations due to the magnetic saturation are considered and an innovative high-frequency staircase voltage injection method is used to identify the q-axis inductance. The experimental results show that compared with other existing flux-weakening methods, the proposed technique can improve the DC-link voltage utilisation without the need to tune any controller gains and can fully utilise maximum available torque with desirable transient performance.
