Wide-speed Range Operation of Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor with Parameter Identification

To realize the maximum efficiency control and/or flux-weakening control for interior permanent magnet synchronous motors, exact motor parameters are typically required. It is well known that motor parameters vary with driving conditions such as temperature and magnetic saturation. In this article, the effect of parameter variations on the performance of maximum efficiency control and flux-weakening control are quantitatively investigated. Then, an on-line parameter identification method is proposed to prevent parameter variation from degrading the control performance. This method simultaneously identifies motor parameters involved in the control strategies by using both the recursive least-squares method and constant gain adaptive identification method. The effectiveness of the maximum efficiency control and flux-weakening control incorporated with on-line parameter identification strategy is confirmed by computer simulations.
