    A control strategy for optimum efficiency operation of high performance interior permanent magnet motor drives
    (IEEE, 2003-11) Ojo, O.; Wu, Zhiqiao; Osaloni, F.; Omoigui, Michael
    This paper, using the concept of input-output linearization with decoupling, sets forth the speed control of the interior permanent magnet motor drives which simultaneously ensures the minimization of the losses-the copper and core losses. This control scheme is unique in that saturation dependent parameters such as the d and q axis inductances and the armature reaction dependent magnet flux linkage are included in the controller structure formulation and implementation. The proposed control scheme differs from known schemes which are either based on perturbation and search methods or on steady curve fitted graphs that map the command q and d axis currents based on reference torque. Unlike these methods, an optimization formulation that dynamically determines the reference currents/voltages required to achieve high performance speed control and total loss minimization is used. The control structure methodology, the nature of the variations of the machine parameters and how they influence the machine efficiency are clearly laid out.
