Virtual Constant Signal Injection-Based MTPA Control for IPMSM Considering Partial Derivative Term of Motor Inductance Parameters

The dq-axis inductance parameter value of the Internal Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (IPMSM) will change with the dq-axis current. The Virtual Constant Signal Injection Method (VCSIM)-based Maximum Torque Per Ampere (MTPA) control ignores the partial derivative term of the dq-axis inductance to the dq-axis current when extracting the partial derivative information of the torque to the dq-axis current. This will cause the current to deviate from the MTPA point, which will have a certain impact on the output capacity and efficiency of the motor torque. To solve the above problems, this paper proposes a simple and feasible compensation method by solving the partial derivative information between the dq-axis inductance and the dq-axis current. The experimental results show that the motor efficiency and torque output capability are significantly improved after applying the proposed strategy.
