A multi-phase electric machine has gained distinct interest due to its high reliability compared to a three-phase structure, and in this paper, self and mutual inductances in a five-phase permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) are estimated by an analytical method. Recently, most of high-performance operations are implemented by field oriented control and/or direct torque control, and inductance for those controls is one of the key parameters in the voltage equation of phase windings. Winding function theory (WFT) is employed to calculate the inductance of phase windings, and it is verified that the result of the analytical method has a deviation of approximately 3 % compared to finite element analysis. Finally, in this paper, the way to obtain direct and quadrature inductance values are introduced from the analytical inductance calculated by WFT.

It is important to know exact values of Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors(IPMSM)' parameters such as stator resistance and inductance in order to have their high performance. This paper proposes a novel motor parameter(stator resistance, d&q axis inductance) estimation algorithm for IPMSM. The proposed estimation method utilizes back-EMF equations and model reference adaptive system(MRAS). The algorithm using back-EMF estimates d and q axis inductances in the constant torque region, and the stator resistance is estimated by using MRAS with the estimated inductance regardless of speed regions. The validity of the proposed algorithm is verified by simulations and experiments.

In this paper, the characteristics of IPMSM(Interior-type Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) are simulated using 2-Dimensional finite element method. This paper deals with the following characteristics: Air gap flux density considering skew. Back E.M.F, Torque and Inductance. Torque is calculated using current angle which is known from the controller. Direct axis inductance and Quadrature axis inductance are also calculated using energy perturbation method. This results can be used for the computation of the saliency of IPMSM. Computed results are found in satisfactory agreement with experimental ones.

This paper presents simple schemes used to estimate the initial rotor position and the d- and q-axis inductances for effective Maximum Torque per Ampere (MTPA) operation in a wind-power system using an IPMSM (Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine). An IPMSM essentially requires an exact coordinate transformation and accurate inductance values to use a reluctance torque caused by the saliency characteristic. In the proposed high-frequency voltage testing method, there is no voltage drop caused by the resistance and the electromotive force. The initial rotor position and the inductance can be measured through an analysis of the stator current without turning the rotor. The experimental results are presented in order to illustrate the feasibility of the proposed method.

The inductance is an important parameter in order to analyze steady state of LSRM(Line-start Synchronous Reluctance Motor). If FEM(Finite Element Method) is used to compute the parameter according to the change of flux barriers and conductor bars, less analysis time is required. Therefore, this paper adopts equivalent magnetic circuit method to simply calculates inductance, and the result is verified by comparing with the results by FEM.

This paper describes the optimal current-control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor by the use of robust and simple current controllers, based upon the analytical procedure known as the inverse LQ (ILQ) design method. The ILQ design method is a strategy for finding the optimal gains based on pole assignment without solving the Riccati equation. It is very important to keep the motor in robust servo-lock. By experiments and simulations, we will show that the ILQ optimal servo-system with servo-lock is more insensitive at low speeds to variations in armature inductance than the standard PI servo-system. Variations in armature inductance have the greatest influence on the responses of a servo-system.

This study investigates the characteristics of Permanent Magnet Assisted Synchronous Reluctance Motor (PMASynRM) using coupled FEM and Preisach modelling. The focus of this paper is the characteristics analysis of d, q axis inductance according to magnetizing direction and quantity of interior permanent magnet far PMASynRM. Investigation on nonlinear characteristic of machine is performed by Preisachs theory application. Comparisons are given with characteristics of normal Synchronous reluctance motor(SynRM) and those according to the quantity of residual flux density (0.3T and 0.4T) in PMASynRM, respectively.

This paper presents estimation of d-axis and q-axis inductance of an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) by using an extended Kalman filter (EKF). The EKF is widely used for control applications including the motor sensorless control and parameter estimation. The motor parameters can be changed by temperature and air-gap flux. In particular, the variation of the inductance affects torque characteristics like the maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) control. Therefore, by estimating the parameters, it is possible to improve the torque characteristics of the motor. The performance of the proposed estimator is verified by simulations and experimental results based on an 11kW PMSM drive system.

This paper presents the self-commissioning for surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor. The proposed strategy executes three tests with a vector controlled inverter drive system. To do this, synchronous d-q axes currents are appropriately controlled for each test. From the three tests, armature resistance, armature inductance, equivalent iron loss resistance, and emf coefficient are identified automatically. The validity of the proposed strategy is confirmed by experimental results.

This paper improves the calculating method about the inductance with the high order frequency coreloss. It is different in which the analyzed inductance for calculating IPMSM and the measured thing for experiment. Due to this phenomenon, the expected input voltage differs from the inquired input voltage for operating the motor. This results from the coreloss margin which have both the 1st order and high order frequency value. For reducing the inductance error, after calculating the equivalence coreloss resistance with having the 1st order frequency Back_EMF and coreloss, designing the inductance with the high order frequency which occurred by the coreloss of high order frequency, and comparing the renovated inductance analysis value with the measured thing.
