This paper delves into a comprehensive study of a wide-speed-range sensorless control approach for surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motors (SPMSMs). In the low-speed range, a novel high-frequency pulse voltage injection (HFPVI) method is introduced for rotor position estimation, which does not depend on motor saliency and is well-suited for SPMSMs. This method incorporates a second-order generalized integrator (SOGI) and a new modulation signal to enhance the accuracy of rotor position estimation. For medium-to-high speeds, an improved super-twisting sliding mode observer (STSMO) utilizing a continuous hyperbolic tangent function is proposed to mitigate chattering. Additionally, a new phase-locked loop (NPLL) is introduced to accurately obtain the rotor position. Furthermore, this paper designs an exponential weighted switching function to facilitate a smooth transition of the motor from the low-speed domain to the medium- and high-speed domains. The effectiveness and superiority of the proposed methods are validated through simulations and experiments conducted on an RTU-BOX platform. The rotor position estimation errors of the proposed new HFPVI method and the improved STSMO method under various operating conditions are both approximately 0.05 rad (2.8 elc·deg), and the SPMSM can switch smoothly from the low-speed range to the medium- and high-speed ranges.

Electric vehicles (EV) have gained importance in recent years due to environmental pollution and the future scarcity of fossil resources. They have been the subject of study for many years, where much work has focused on batteries and the electric motor (EM). There are several types of motors in the market but the most widely used are induction motors, especially squirrel cage motors. Induction motors have also been extensively studied and, nowadays, there are several control methods used—for example, those based on vector control, such as field-oriented control (FOC) and direct torque control (DTC). Further, at a higher level, such as the speed loop, several types of controllers, such as proportional integral (PI) and model predictive control (MPC), have been tested. This paper shows a comparison between a Continuous Control Set MPC (CCS-MPC) and a conventional PI controller within the FOC method, both in simulation and hardware in the loop (HIL) tests, to control the speed of an induction motor for an EV powered by lithium-ion batteries. The comparison is composed of experiments based on the speed and quality of response and the controllers’ stability. The results are shown graphically and numerically analyzed using performance metrics such as the integral of the absolute error (IAE), where the MPC shows a 50% improvement over the PI in the speed tracking performance. The efficiency of the MPC in battery consumption is also demonstrated, with 5.07 min more driving time. Full article

This paper presents a method for reducing the cogging torque and ripple torque of interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) based on the magnetic field harmonic offset method. This method establishes the internal correlation between cogging torque harmonics and ripple torque harmonics. The suppression or cancellation of magnetic field harmonics in the rotor pole is utilized as transmission link to simultaneously weaken or eliminate lower order harmonics of cogging torque and ripple torque, which can improve operating quality of the IPMSM and obtain an acceptable total average torque. A mathematical and physical model of harmonic offset method for cogging torque is established, the distribution characteristics of permeability harmonics and field harmonics that affect cogging torque are analyzed, the analytical expression for the electromagnetic torque of the IPMSM including reluctance torque is derived, and the collaborative suppression mechanism of cogging torque and ripple torque, as well as common solutions, are studied. Finally, the suppression law of cogging torque and operating ripple torque is verified by the finite element simulation, and the compromise selection principle of permanent magnetic pole is summarized. Due to the absence of the average torque of motor in the offset method, the effects of effective pole arc of the combined rotor on the torque ripple and torque-speed characteristic curve of the IPMSM are compared and evaluated.
