Improved Online Maximum-Torque-Per-Ampere Algorithm for Speed Controlled Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine

In order to improve the performance of interior permanent magnet synchronous machine (IPMSM) based on space voltage vector modulation schemes, this paper presents a highly accurate online method to find the proper maximum-torque-per-ampere (MTPA) angles. This algorithm fully considers the nonlinear characteristics of the d-axis inductance, q-axis inductance, and permanent magnetic flux together. Additionally, the influences of temperature are taken into account. In this paper, the proposed method injects a small virtual angle signal into the current angle mathematically to track the stator current reference angle that is close to real MTPA points. Moreover, following a theoretical analysis method, the error of the virtual signal injection method is analyzed. Then, based on the results of error analysis, this paper proposes a compensation strategy that can significantly reduce the current angle error between the tracking point and real MTPA point. At last, various experiments on an IPMSM test bench verify the proposed control technique and overall performance.
