Abstract
This paper presents a novel five-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), which contains dual rotors and a single stator, equivalent to two five-phase motors working together. Thus, this kind of motor has the potential of good fault tolerant capability and high torque density, which makes it appropriate for use in electric vehicles. In view of the different connection types, the inside and outside stator windings can be driven in series or parallel, which results in the different performances of the magnetomotive force (MMF) and torque under open-circuit fault conditions. By decomposing the MMF, the reason that torque ripple increases after open-circuit faults is explained, and the relationship between MMF and torque is revealed. Then, the current control strategy is applied to adjust the open-circuit faults, and the electromagnetic analysis and MMF harmonics analysis are performed to interpret the phenomenon that the torque ripple is still larger than in the normal situation. The investigations are verified by finite element analysis results.
Highlights
With the requirements of energy conservation and emissions reduction around the world, electric vehicles (EVs) have been seen as an ideal alternative of transportation, and have got more and more attention from researchers and governments [1]
The fault tolerant control technique proposed in [12] considers the third time-harmonic current, which is used for five phase permanent magnet (PM) motor with trapezoidal back electromotive force (EMF)
dual-rotor PMSM (DRPMSM) is listed in Table 3, which is denoted by Tn, and the torque ripple is 1.49%
Summary
With the requirements of energy conservation and emissions reduction around the world, electric vehicles (EVs) have been seen as an ideal alternative of transportation, and have got more and more attention from researchers and governments [1]. In [10], an optimal torque control method is put forward for fault tolerant permanent magnet brushless machines, which enables ripple-free torque operation and minimum copper loss to be obtained in open-circuit fault situations, and the voltage and current constraints are considered at the same time. In [11], the authors proposed a current control strategy, with the third-order harmonic current injection, to reduce the torque ripple of five phase permanent magnet motor under open-circuit faults conditions, but the solutions are not optimized. Under open-circuit fault conditions, a novel current control strategy is proposed in [14,15,16], which aims to obtain an undisturbed MMF by regulating the remaining healthy phase currents of a multiphase machine. Ansoft Maxwell software is employed for the finite element analysis (FEA) results
