Abstract

Purpose This paper aims to describe about the sensor-based closed-loop speed and current control of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives for electric vehicle applications. Design/methodology/approach The PMSM motors are driven by a six-phase voltage source inverter, which is controlled based on rotor position feedback using a speed encoder. Findings The conventional pulse width modulation (PWM) switching scheme suffers from harmonics, higher direct current (DC) link voltage requirements, higher dv/dt and rotor heating. The proposed switching scheme implemented on speed control for proportional integral (PI) controller and current control for hysteretic current limit controller. Originality/value The key features of this proposed control scheme are (i) reduction of voltage and current harmonics (ii) reduction of torque ripple and (iii) reduction of voltage stress. For the PMSM motor, a prototype development of a six-phase converter is implemented along with the proposed controller, and the results are verified on both a simulation and a test platform.
