Novel Analytical Approach for Vector Controlled Adjustable Speed Synchronous Machines

Abstract

Novel approach for operation analysis of vector control synchronous machine has been described. To draw the vector diagram under adjustable speed operation, the concept of normalized voltage has been introduced. It is to divide the voltage value by angular frequency of the machine, then the voltage vectors, which contain angular frequency immanently, will not change their length under adjustable speed operation, and the vector diagram will keep its size unchanged for the whole speed range. Also, reactance drop locus and its accompanying yardstick circle for determining current phase angle, in corresponding to the variation of the given armature current vector, were deduced. Then, the operation of the machine for the whole adjustable speed range can be represented in single diagram. As the accompanying matters, the methods for calculating the operating characteristics of maximum torque control and 100 % power factor control were shown.

Some proposals for teaching the technology of IPMSM

“…The relation between the terminal voltage and input current of an IPMSM is rather complicated. Now, an analyzing method for IPMSM operation is to be described in the following to make clear the relationship between them [7,8]. This diagram is quite inconvenient for treating with the voltage-current relationship.…”
