Vector Control of Stator-Permanent Magnet Memory Machine Based on Three Magnetization State Manipulations

Abstract

Owing to the estimated permanent magnet (PM) flux linkage fluctuation, the stator-PM memory machine employing the continuous magnetization state (MS) manipulation may suffer from frequent MS manipulations and the accidental inverter damage in its extended speed range. In order to deal with this issue, in this paper, a novel vector control based on three MS manipulations is proposed and implemented on the existing hybrid PM axial field flux-switching memory machine. After a brief analysis of the researched machine configuration, the principle of the three MS manipulations, the remedial sliding mode speed regulator and the current distribution strategy are discussed. The simulated results show that the proposed scheme reduces the speed and electromagnetic torque overshoot and improves the dynamic performance. Meanwhile, compared with the flux-weakening control, the wide speed range can be obtained. Finally, the experiment is carried out to verify the validity of the theory.
