Active-Damping-Based Field-Weakening Control Strategy With Voltage Angle Regulation for High-Speed SPMSM Drive

The field-weakening (FW) control strategy with voltage angle regulation has the advantages of fast speed and current response by directly decoupling the voltages. For suppressing the current harmonics, this article proposes a novel active-damping-based FW control strategy for high-speed surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM) drives. The resonant issue in the voltage-angle regulated system is analyzed, and the
d
-axis current is adopted to compensate the voltage angle, which introduces the additional impendence at the resonant frequency to reduce the
d-q
axis current harmonics. An offline coefficient design method based on the frequency characteristic and step response is proposed to construct the contour map seeking for optimal coefficients, which achieves significant reductions on current harmonics and improves the robustness of the proposed method on mismatches of motor parameters. The damping ratio of the current loop is determined by the integral coefficient with a wider range. Hence, the adaptability of the FW voltage angle regulation can be guaranteed under different speed and load conditions. The effectiveness of the proposed strategy is verified on the 6-kW high-speed SPMSM platform.
