Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) have seen increased applications in various industrial electromechanical systems, including robots, home appliances, and electric vehicles (EVs). In recent years, advanced and improved control schemes for PMSMs have been investigated for EVs and home appliances. The improved and advanced control and drive system for PMSMs drives the advancement of the industry and has become the basis for preparing new industries.

This Special Issue aims to advance and document the multiple benefits, but also the barriers, in developing motor drive systems for PMSMs (SPMSM, IPMSM, BLDC motors). In this context, the Special Issue invites multidisciplinary contributions, on topics including but not limited to:

  • High-speed PMSM (SPMSM, IPMSM, BLDC Motor) control method;
  • Sensorless control of PMSMs (SPMSM, IPMSM, BLDC motors);
  • High-power PMSM (SPMSM, IPMSM, BLDC Motor) control;
  • Advanced and improved current/torque/speed/position control method for PMSM (SPMSM, IPMSM, BLDC motors);
  • Specialized application for PMSM (SPMSM, IPMSM, BLDC motors) and control

In order to reduce the complexity of the brushless DC motor (BLDC)-control-system algorithm while improving the estimation performance of the rotor phase position and the speed of the sensorless motor, a neural network (ANN) control algorithm based on multi-layer perceptron (MLP) topology is proposed. The phase voltage of the motor is conditioned to obtain the phase-voltage signal with a high signal-to-noise ratio, which is used as the input eigenvalue of the multi-layer-perceptron-topology neural network algorithm. The encoder signal is used as the training test data of the MLP-ANN. The first layer of the perceptual neural network estimates the position according to the voltage characteristics with incremental time characteristics. The second layer of the perceptual neural network estimates the speed according to the collected time characteristics and the characteristics of rotor position error. The algorithm after learning and training is digitally discretized and integrated into the motor control system. Experimental tests were carried out under no-load, speed step and load mutation conditions. The experimental results show that the algorithm can accurately estimate the rotor position and speed. The absolute error of the rotor position is within 0.02 rad, and the absolute error of the rotor speed is within 4 rpm. The control system with strong robustness has good dynamic and static characteristics. Full article

Field-oriented control (FOC) has achieved great success in permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) control. For the PMSM drive, FOC allows the motor torque and flux to be controlled separately, which means the torque and flux are decoupled from each other. Since the torque control is achieved by the speed controller, it can be considered that the speed and the flux of the PMSM are also decoupled from each other and can be controlled separately. In this paper, we propose a PMSM vector control using decoupled speed and flux controllers based on the proportional-resonant (PR) control method. A flux controller is proposed to control the flux of the PMSM and generate the d-axis reference current, whereas the speed regulator is used to generate the torque as well as the q-axis reference current. The PR controller is proposed to control the dq-axis currents and generate the reference voltages; its design is included.Therefore, decoupled speed and flux controllers are controlled separately using the PR controller. The Matlab/Simulink environment is utilized for the simulation, while the dSPACE DS1104 is used for the experimental work. The proposed control method is simple; there are no flux or torque estimators required, so it can avoid the complexity of estimators in the control scheme. The motor is tested under different scenarios, including flux change, speed change, and load torque change. The simulation and hardware results show the effectiveness of the proposed control method in controlling the the speed and the flux of PMSM with fast motor response and good dynamic performance in the different scenarios.

The open-winding permanent magnet synchronous machines (OW-PMSMs) have recently been gaining more attention because of their fault-tolerant capability and power quality comparable to a 3-level converter-driven system. This paper reviews the common configurations of OW-PMSM when used as a generator, highlighting its shortcomings and benefits. The OW-PMSM with a common DC bus was found to be a promising direct-drive generator solution for wind energy conversion (WEC) systems considering fault tolerance, DC bus utilization, and power quality when appropriate control algorithms are in place. The presence of the zero-sequence current is the key disadvantage of the common DC bus configuration. The review highlights the algorithms that have been proposed to suppress the zero-sequence current of the OW-PMSM under healthy and various fault conditions, especially the open-circuit fault of semiconductor switch. Shutting down remotely located wind turbines because of faults, until they can be repaired, may not make economic sense. The OW-PMSM can offer the opportunity, to run a WEC system even under fault conditions albeit with low output power. This paper will assess the literature gaps in the existing control techniques that prevent the extension via a comprehensive review. Full article
