Description
Summary:The tracking of optimal current trajectories in an interior permanent magnet (IPM) synchronous machine is traditionally realized by a complex online tracking, inaccurate analytical equations, or tiresome offline calibration methods. This paper proposes a modified hybrid feed-forward/feedback flux-weakening algorithm for IPM synchronous machines. In this paper, the utilized power converter is a standard T-type multilevel inverter, and hence, the voltage and current harmonics contents of the conventional two-level inverter are improved. The control algorithm utilizes the optimal current profile for maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) operation and a voltage regulation (VR) feedback control for efficient flux-weakening operation. For infinite-speed IPM machine drives, the d-q current components are limited to follow the maximum torque per voltage (MTPV) trajectory. A low-complexity model predictive control (MPC) is employed to minimize the conflict that arises from using cascaded PI control loops for current and speed control. The performance of the drive is investigated based on the Prius 2004 IPM parameters. Extensive simulation scenarios were performed using the MATLAB/SIMULINK which validates the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. Real-time simulations based on the dSPACE DS 1103 platform are conducted to confirm the system validity for real hardware implementation. The proposed IPM drive system proves simple structure, fast response, and low harmonic contents.
