- W2076478765 abstract "This paper proposes a loss-minimizing controller for synchronous reluctance motor drives. The proposed method takes core losses and magnetic saturation effects into account. The core-loss model consists of hysteresis losses and eddy-current losses. Magnetic saturation is modeled using two-dimensional power functions considering cross coupling between the dand q-axes. The efficiency optimal d-axis current is calculated offline using the loss model and motor parameters. Instead of generating a look-up table, an approximate function was fitted to the loss-minimizing results. The loss-minimizing method is applied in a motion-sensorless drive and the results are validated by measurements. Introduction In vector control of a synchronous reluctance motor (SyRM), certain speed and torque can be achieved by different combinations of dand q-axes currents. The total losses can be minimized by adjusting the dand q-axes current ratio. Generally, there are two categories of loss-minimizing controllers: the loss-model based controller (LMC) which uses the motor model and parameters to calculate the lossminimizing currents, and the online search controller (SC) which adjusts the current vector online based on the feedback of input power measurement. Since the SC does not require any motor parameters beforehand, the bulk of the work to determine the motor parameters can be avoided. However, the searching process may cause unwanted losses and torque ripples. Furthermore, it might be sensitive to the measurement noise and errors. The main disadvantage of the LMC is its dependancy on the motor parameters. However, the motor parameters are required in many parts of electric drives, e.g., they are required in speed sensorless control. Therefore, the LMC can be a better option in the case of known motor parameters. The total losses in the SyRM can be formulated as a loss function of control variables and the motor parameters. By minimizing this function, the efficiency optimal control variable, e.g., the d-axis current, can be found. Simple LMCs assuming constant inductances and constant core-loss resistance can be found in the literature [1, 2]. However, the inductances vary with the stator currents and the core-loss resistance is a function of the flux and speed. Magnetic saturation effects were ignored for simplification in [3–11], and only a few LMCs have taken magnetic saturation into account [12,13]. However, parameter sensitivity of loss minimization was studied in [14] and it shows that the inductance variations due to magnetic saturation affect the optimal current significantly. The core losses can be modeled using a constant resistance if the hysteresis losses are omitted. In [4], the core losses were modeled as hysteresis losses and eddy-current losses. The stray-load losses were also taken into account in [9] and [10]. The nonlinear magnetic saturation model and core-loss model usually result in a complicated loss function. An analytical solution of loss minimization is difficult to derive. However, iteration methods can be used. For example, the cross-magnetic saturation was modeled and the optimum current was derived using an iteration method in [13]. Simple core-loss and magnetic saturation models were applied in [8], but the core-loss resistance and the inductances were estimated by the extended Kalman filter. Neural networks (NNs) and fuzzy logic have been used in the LMCs. In [15], a NN was used as an adaptive model of the SyRM. The NN was trained online, and the input is the torque reference and the outputs are the d-q axes current references. In [7], the loss function with constant inductances and core-loss resistance was applied, and an offline-trained NN was used to map the optimal current. These methods are actually similar to the simple LMCs since they just map the loss function to neural networks. This paper aims to break the tradeoff between accuracy and complexity of LMCs. Nonlinear core-loss and magnetic saturation models make the loss function too complicated to get an analytical solution. Iterative methods can be used to find the minimum points of the loss function. However, it is computation demanding for online utilization. A general idea of the proposed LMC is to calculate the optimal currents iteratively offline and then fit the results to a simple function for online use. A similar approach can be found in [16], where the core-loss and magnetic saturation parameters were obtained from finite element analysis. The optimal currents were calculated offline. A loss-minimizing look-up table was generated from the off-line calculation results. However, the loss minimization was not validated by experimental measurement. In this paper, both the core losses and magnetic saturation are taken into account. The core-loss model consists of hysteresis losses and eddy current losses, and the magnetic saturation is modeled using twodimensional power functions taking into account cross coupling between the dand q-axes. The parameters of core losses and magnetic saturation are determined by experimental measurements. An iteration method is used to calculate the optimal d-axis current offline for given operating points. The results are fitted to a simple function which can be easily implemented online. Hence, extensive computation can be avoided in real-time control. The proposed method is validated by experiments of a 6.7-kW SyRM. SyRM Model Space-vector Model Fig. 1 shows the dynamic space-vector model of an SyRM. The d-axis of the rotating coordinate system is defined as the direction of the maximum inductance. Real space vectors will be used in the model. For example, the stator-current vector is is = [id, iq] T, where id and iq are the components of the vector and the matrix transpose is marked with the superscript T. The magnitude is denoted by is = √ id + i 2 q. The orthogonal rotation matrix is J = [ 0 −1 1 0 ]. Per-unit quantities will be used. ωmJψs is Rs im us Rc ic dψs dt Figure 1: Dynamic space-vector model of a SyRM in rotor coordinates. The voltage equation is dψs dt = us −Rsis − ωmJψs (1) where ψs is the stator-flux vector, us the stator-voltage vector, Rs the stator resistance, is the stator current, and ωm is the angular speed of the rotor. The core-loss current is ic = is − im, where im is the magnetizing currrent which is a nonlinear function of the flux due to magnetic saturation. The core losses are modeled as a nonlinear resistance Rc. The electromagnetic torque is given by Te = imqψd − imdψq (2) Magnetic Saturation The effects of magnetic saturation are often an important issue in model-based loss minimization. The stator inductances vary with the fluxes (or the currents) of both axes. The inductances can be obtained from finite-element methods or measurements. The look-up table is usually computationally inefficient and needs interpolation. As reviewed in [17], the measured data are often fitted to explicit functions. The magnetic saturation effects can be modeled as current functions of the fluxes [17] using two-dimensional power functions: imd(ψd, ψq)= ψd Ldu [ 1 + (α|ψd|) a + γLdu d+2 |ψd| |ψq| d+2 ] (3a) imq(ψd, ψq)= ψq Lqu [ 1 + (β|ψq|) b + γLqu c+2 |ψd| |ψq| d ] (3b) where Ldu and Lqu are the unsaturated inductances, and α, β, γ, a, b, c, and d are nonnegative constants. The fitted parameters of the 6.7-kW SyRM are shown in Table I and the fitting results are shown in Fig. 2. Table I: Fitted per-unit parameters [17].

Core Losses The core losses can be divided into two parts: hysteresis losses and classical eddy-current losses. In steady state, the stator core losses are classically modeled as a function of the rotor frequency ωm and the stator-flux magnitude ψs, PFe = ΛHy|ωm|ψ 2 s +GFtω 2 mψ 2 s (4) where the first term corresponds to the hysteresis losses and the second term corresponds to the eddycurrent losses [18]. The hysteresis losses are proportional to the frequency, while the eddy-current losses are proportional to the square of the frequency. The constants ΛHy and GFt determine the ratio between the loss components at a given stator flux and angular frequency. The core losses are typically modeled using a core-loss resistor Rc in steady state. The core-loss resistance corresponding to (4) becomes Rc = 1 ΛHy/|ωm|+GFt (5) It can be seen that the core-loss resistance Rc is constant if the hysteresis losses are omitted (ΛHy = 0). The parameters can be identified using series of no-load tests at different frequencies. The fitted parameters for the 6.7-kW SyRM are ΛHy = 0.018 p.u. and GFt = 0.042 p.u.
