Maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) control is a method to control IPMSMs with high efficiency. However, since the motor parameters vary with magnetic saturation, MTPA control cannot be easily realized. Here in, we propose a fully online and automatic MTPA control method. To find the MTPA point while driving the motor, it is necessary to predict the entire flux linkage surface. Therefore, the flux linkage surface is approximated by a plane from the sensor information at a specific current condition that considers the effect of magnetic cross-saturation. MTPA control is achieved using the estimated flux linkage plane and the gradient ascent method. The simulation results reveal that the torque maximized in two search periods, which was completed in 0.06 s. The proposed method is effective for a wide current range.","PeriodicalId":45552,"journal":{"name":"IEEJ Journal of Industry Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135753416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, in this study, we aim to improve the winding factor and the slot fill factor by changing the winding arrangement and the number of turns while considering the symmetry of the electromagnetic field.

The proposed inductor utilizes novel variable coupling coefficient integrated inductor (VCCII) technology to integrate two inductors that are required for a dual boost converter for HESS. VCCII has an integrated structure of two inductors, and enables control the coupling coefficient between the two inductors depending on the power distribution ratio of two power sources. In a low-power operation, the coupling coefficient between the two inductors is structurally zero, which enables the VCCII technology to independently control each output of energy sources without interference. In high-power operation, the coupling coefficient of the two windings increases by utilizing the non-linear characteristics of a magnetic core. These coupling effects peak shaving of the inductor current, which contributes to loss reduction and increase the maximum power capability. A prototype result verifies a 50% increase of peak power density and a 15% increase of maximum power capability under 20 V / 100 A and 25 V / 40 A inputs and 42 V output HESS.

If charging power is required in the condition of phase voltage saturation, the phase voltage command calculated using the power distribution ratio of more than 1.0 cannot be increased to more than the phase voltage limit.

The proposed method solves the communication delays between the master and slave controllers owing to the distributed control in wireless communications and the interference problem caused by multiple USPM connections. The experimental results of the steady-state response showed that despite the communication delays, the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the input current was improved by up to 63.0%, and the power factor was 0.997. Moreover, load fluctuation experiments confirmed that the system transitioned to a steady -state and operated stably by updating the command value of the slave controller for the first time after the load fluctuation.

Hence, the sensorless operation of subsea drives becomes important. In addition, variations in system parameters due to changes in operating conditions can result in the deterioration of the performance of drives, and may even lead to unstable operations.
