This article proposes three new maximum power point tracking control schemes for permanent magnet synchronous generators in variable-speed wind energy conversion systems. Unlike previously control methods based on traditional voltage source fed equivalent circuit, a current source fed equivalent circuit is proposed where an efficient maximum power point tracking–based load angle control can simply be achieved. The three new control strategies are based on concurrent load angle control–rotor field–oriented method at desired speeds. Each strategy has its own load angle methodology. The first strategy applies constant flux control technique. The second one is based on keeping constant 90° torque angle (zero d-axis current control) method. Finally, the third strategy presents an optimum maximum power point tracking at unity power factor with achieving the favorite linear relationship between the generator stator current and optimum torque. A unified detailed phasor diagram is provided from which the phasor diagram for any of the aforementioned control techniques is produced. Mathematical analysis and MATLAB Simulink model results are presented for each control pattern. Effective validation for the proposed mathematical models is approved.

In this paper, a new concurrent unity power factor and constant stator flux linkage (UPF-CFL) control is presented. The main goal of this technique is to introduce the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) as an optimal wind energy transducer. The handled generator load angle and back EMF control achieve the optimum requirements for wind applications namely Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT). To do this, both UPF and CFL are integrated into one control methodology to obtain the advantages of each one. While the first well utilizes the apparent power increasing the generator side converter capability, the second protects the generator against magnetic saturation to enable higher speed operation. Mathematical model based on constant current fed equivalent circuit is presented taking the constraints of each individual control algorithm into account. The concurrent performance characteristics are presented and compared with each of concurrent separated algorithm characteristics for assessments. The control technique is implemented and finally, simulation testing is provided for evaluation.

In this paper, a new control strategy for hybrid excited salient permanent-magnet synchronous motor (HEPMSM) is proposed, where both armature winding and DC field windings are located in the stator. The developed control strategy fulfills the required characteristics of the electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) motors. A detailed mathematical model of the HEPMSM is presented. The field current (FC) is kept constant near its rated value for the high acceleration constant torque (CT) region. The conventional control usable method of reducing FC and reversing it on the motor performance characteristics through the constant power (CP) region is examined and evaluated. A proposed FC pattern is applied to three deferent operating modes of EV. High acceleration and wide stable constant power speed range without overdesign is the main target of this work. Based on the deduced optimum control pattern, the required EV-HEPMSM performance characteristics are developed. The required d–q control armature, field currents as well as d–q stator voltage components are provided for either current or voltage control technique availabilities. Simulation work is carried out on the commonly used method and on the proposed method. The obtained simulated characteristics effectively validate the target of the proposed steady-state presented analysis and pattern.
