Abstract

An electric machine assembly includes an electric machine having a stator configured to have a stator current and a controller configured to receive a torque command (T). The controller has a processor and tangible, non-transitory memory on which is recorded instructions for executing a method of modifying the stator current for enhanced flux weakening. The controller is programmed to obtain a base stator current [IdLU, IqLU] from a look-up table based at least partially on the torque command (T). The controller is programmed to obtain a characteristic angle (θi, i=1, 2, 3) based at least partially on a value of the torque command (T) and the base stator current [IdLU, IqLU]. A stator current modifier [ΔId, ΔIq] is obtained based at least partially on the characteristic angle (θi, i=1, 2, 3) and a flux weakening factor (ΔIS) such that: ΔId=(ΔIS*cosine (θi)) and ΔIq=(ΔIS*sine (θi)).
