Abstract
This article deals with I-f control of surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous machine (SPMSM) drives. Conventional open-loop I-f control is poorly damped and can only operate stably with positive <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$d$</tex-math></inline-formula> -axis current. An I-f control with a new current compensation loop is proposed to achieve stable <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$i_{\mathrm{d}}=0$</tex-math></inline-formula> operation in this work. The proposed method can be used for startup with a seamless transition to sensorless field-oriented-control (FOC), since <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$i_{\mathrm{d}}=0$</tex-math></inline-formula> operation is already achieved before switching to FOC. In addition, as the I-f control can now maintain stable <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$i_{\mathrm{d}}=0$</tex-math></inline-formula> operation against 100% rated load step disturbance from 10% to 100% rated speed, it could be a standalone control scheme for wide-speed-range operations. The proposed method is supported with detailed stability analysis and its performance is verified experimentally on a 2.7-kW SPMSM drive platform.
