Abstract

Interior permanent-magnet synchronous machines (IPMSMs) are widely used as traction motors in electric drive-trains because of their high torque-per-ampere characteristics and potential for wide field-weakening operations to expand the constant-power range. This paper offers a categorization and a comprehensive overview of the control techniques applied to IPMSM drivesin addition to presenting the necessary theoretical background. The basic concept, features and limitations, as well as the latest developments of the strategies, are summarized in the paper. This overview helps to lay the theoretical basis as well as to clarify the opportunities, challenges and future trends for controlling IPMSM drives for traction applications.
