Method and apparatus for field weakening control in an AC motor drive system

A method and apparatus control a power converter (20) of an AC motor drive system (10). The method and apparatus: generate a field current regulating signal to control a field current component flowing from the power converter (20) to the AC motor (30), thereby achieving field current regulation; generate a torque current regulating signal to control a torque current component flowing from the power converter (20) to the AC motor (30), thereby achieving torque current regulation, the torque current regulation having lower priority than the field current regulation; and execute a close-loop field weakening control scheme, which generates a field weakening control command as a function of the difference between a torque current regulation voltage demand and voltage available for torque current regulation. The field current regulating signal is adjusted in accordance with the field weakening control signal to selectively reduce back EMF of the AC motor (30), thereby enabling the step of generating a toque current regulating signal to achieve a toque current component needed to drive the AC motor (30) at a desired speed despite a limitation on DC voltage available to the power converter (20).

Automatic field-weakening method for built-in permanent magnet synchronous motor

InactiveCN101783536AExtended pole-to-pole flux leakage pathsRealize automatic field weakening speed expansionMagnetic circuit rotating partsLow speedPermanent magnet synchronous motor
The invention relates to an automatic field-weakening method for a built-in permanent magnet synchronous motor, which solves the problem that field-weakening speed is difficult to widen due to the fixed rotor excitation and small reactance of armature reaction of a direct axis in the conventional permanent magnet synchronous motor in the market. In a rotor magnetic structure of the permanent magnet synchronous motor, a magnetic flux short-circuit block is arranged in a magnetic flux isolating layer in a quadrature axis direction with the help of an automatic adjustment action of a spring; when the rotary speed of the rotor is low, the short-circuit block is positioned at a low-speed position so that interelectrode magnet leakage through the isolating layer is small; when the rotary speed of the rotor is increased, the short-circuit block gradually deviates from the low-speed position to move towards the edge of the rotor under the action of rotating centrifugal force, which expands the interelectrode magnet leakage path; and the leakage magnet flux passing through the isolating layer is increased and the main magnet flux is reduced so that the aim of automatic filed-weakening widening speed is fulfilled in the motor body and a larger speed-adjusting range is reached. The method can be applied to the permanent magnet motors which have uncertain pole numbers and tangential or radial magnet structures.

Permanent magnet motor having flux density characteristics that are internally variable

The permanent magnet brushless motor permits dynamic change of output characteristics by varying the positional relationships of rotor components, with respect to each other and with respect to the stator, to progressively effect field weakening with increasing speeds. The force required to impart the limited range of motion involved is transmitted to the rotor component by way of bearings and / or an actuation motor, and a helical guide path is used to great advantage for constraining such movement. The wide, dynamically adjustable motor output range of the motor effectively provides the equivalent of an efficient, continuously variable transmission. High torque at low speeds, and efficient, constant power output over a wide high speed range, uniquely adapt the motor for use as the prime mover for electric / hybrid vehicles.

Permanent Magnet Motor with Field Weakening

A permanent-magnet electrical machine is disclosed in which the rotor has a fixed back iron and movable back iron segments. When the movable back iron segments are in a first position, such as in contact with the fixed back iron, the field strength is high. When the movable back iron segments are in a second position in which the movable back iron segments are displaced away from the fixed back iron, the field strength is low. The ability to weaken the field strength causes the constant-power, speed ratio to be increased and thereby increases the utility of the motor for applications in which a wide speed range is desired.
