Abstract

This paper introduces a permanent magnet synchronous motor maximum torque control method for the wide speed range of a traction control system. This method tracks the maximum torque per ampere operating point and generates a d-axis current command according to the injection of a high-frequency angle signal to the current. This method is parameter independent when looking for the maximum torque per ampere operating point. By not injecting any real signal to a permanent magnet synchronous motor, this method does not increase the amount of copper and iron losses resulting from real signal injection. To obtain a maximum torque output in a wide speed range, this method considers the maximum amplitude limits of voltage and current when the traction motor runs in a flux weakening control field. This method is also robust to current and voltage harmonics, speed mutations, and torque disturbances. Experiment and analysis are conducted on a permanent magnet synchronous motor traction control system prototype under various operating conditions to verify the effectiveness of this method.
