Abstract

A control system for an interior permanent magnet motor which includes five regulators to provide efficient control of the motor. Deviation from a desired maximum torque per amp trajectory is minimized by making two of the five regulators field-weakening regulators. First and second regulators provide current control of the quadrature-axis current and direct-axis current, respectively. A limiter limits the direct-axis current from exceeding the maximum allowed stator current and any excess current is added to the quadrature-axis current. Fourth and fifth regulators are field-weakening regulators. The fourth regulator generates a first field-weakening signal that increases the direct-axis signal when the quadrature-axis voltage approaches a desired maximum voltage. The fifth regulator generates a second field-weakening signal that decreases the quadrature-axis current signal when the direct-axis voltage approaches a desired maximum voltage. An inverter circuit applies a modulated current signal to the motor in accordance with the five regulators.
