Abstract
Reduced dc-link capacitance interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) drives have many advantages, such as longer lifetime, reduced cost, and higher power density. However, due to the dc-link voltage fluctuation, the dc-link voltage utilization rate and the torque ripples are two major issues in flux-weakening operation region. It is important to consider these two issues comprehensively when a flux-weakening control method is adopted. In this paper, the IPMSM torque ripples caused by the dc-link voltage fluctuation and the overmodulation are analyzed in depth. In order to reduce the torque ripples and increase the utilization rate of the dc-link voltage, a novel adjustable maximum voltage based voltage closed-loop flux-weakening method is proposed. By switching between the minimum dc-link voltage control mode and the extended dc-link voltage control mode, the torque ripples can be reduced effectively and a nearly maximum utilization of the dc-link voltage can be realized. The proposed flux-weakening control method only depends on the dc-link voltage and the stator current vector reference. Experimental results on a 2.2-kW IPMSM drive platform are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
