Abstract

Many control schemes have been proposed for induction motor and permanent magnet synchronous motor control, which are almost highly complex and non-linear. Also, a simple and efficient method for unified control of the electric moto are rarely investigated. In this paper, a novel control method based on rotor flux orientation is proposed. The novelties of proposed method are elimination of q-axis current loop (one controller is omitted) and utilization of a new dynamic current rate limiter. Also, unlike the conventional methods, the proposed control method could be applied on both induction motor and permanent magnet synchronous motor with only minor modifications. In addition to mentioned advantages, the torque ripple and current harmonic is reduced, too. Theoretical survey and simulation results clearly show the capability of proposed method for high and low speed applications in steady and transient states.
