Abstract:

This thesis presents the essential and new improvements of the machine modelling and drive-strategies for permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs), including the rotor position sensorless drive schemes. Many important issues about PMSM drive schemes, from the modelling to drive design have been investigated from the machine model point of view. A comprehensive PMSM model incorporating both structural and magnetic saturation saliencies has been developed and expressed numerically and analytically. Highly efficient rotor position detection method has been developed based on the new machine model. The traditional mathematical model of PMSM is investigated at the beginning of this thesis for the conventional PMSM drive schemes, including six-step control, field oriented control (FOC) and direct torque control (DTC). The fundamental principles and improvements of the drives are summarized based on the machine model. Performance companson is conducted for djfferent schemes and an improved DTC scheme is developed. PMSM drive without rotor position sensor, or so called sensorless drive, is a desired feature for the electrical servo systems and automotive applications. The Jack of accurate nonlinear machine model L the bottle neck for highly efficient sensorless drive development. Experiment trial and error attempts have to be employed to design rotor position detection schemes. On the other hand, there is not a comprehensive machine model to assess the sensorless drive performance. The inaccuracies associated with the conventional PMSM model have been discussed in this thesis. The saliencies in PMSM utilized for rotor position tracking are classified as two types, the structural saliency and the magnetic saturation saliency. The nonlinear saturation saliency cannot be modelled in the conventional PMSM model. However, it is essential for the rotor position estimation, especially the initial rotor position detection. A composite function is designed to express the inductances of PMSM, incorporating the nonlinear saturation saliency. Experimentally collected inductance data are used to regress the parameter matrix and a numerical PMSM model is developed. It is then proved that the structural and saturation saliencies can be decoupled analytically and expressed separately. The concepts, structural saliency ratio and saturation saliency ratio are defined to indicate the magnetic saliency in PMSMs. The analytical mathematic machine model incorporates the nonlinear behaviour of the magnetic field of PMSMs. The proposed model is validated by the experimentally collected data.
