Abstract

This technical essay deals with the control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor. We discuss electromagnetism in some detail. We derive the classical model of a permanent magnet synchronous machine and use this model to evaluate several control strategies. Field-oriented torque control and field-oriented speed control are introduced. Control without a sensor for the position of the rotor is mentioned briefly. A discussion of issues arising when implementing field-oriented control in software, the circuit of a power stage and some measurements conclude the treatise.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Named after Edith Clarke, the first female University professor in Electrical Engineering in the United States.

  2. 2.

    Named after Robert H. Park, who first formulated a model of a synchronous machine in rotor coordinates.

  3. 3.

    The windings of permanent magnet machines which have a rotor with a core that is not cylindrical exhibit inductances which depend on the position of the rotor.

  4. 4.

    Also known as squirrel cage fan.
