Wireless Torque Pulsations Measurement System for PMSMs

Torque pulsations are one of the major concerns in permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs). Torque pulsations can be mitigated by proper machine design and/or by control. Independently of the means being used, precise measurement of torque pulsation is highly desirable for the validation and improvement of machine designs and control strategies. This article proposes a non-invasive, wireless vibration measurement system aimed to provide precise estimates of torque pulsations. The system is mounted on the rotor shaft of the PMSM, i.e., there is no mechanical coupling, and allows on-line measurement without interfering with the normal operation of the machine.
