Healthy and Open Phase PMaSynRM Model Based on Virtual Reluctance Concept

The trend in the industrial power electronics electrical drives is to reach high density and efficiency variable load conditions at cost-effective unwasteful designs. Currently, motors with permanent magnets (such as IPMSM PMaSynRM) are of great interest because compactness, low losses, high-torque capability. performance a drive system can be predicted motor electromagnetic authentic nonlinear model. In this article, novel, fast, precise model PMaSynRM based on virtual reluctance (VR) proposed. It takes into account cross saturation, winding distribution, space harmonics, slotting effect, stepped skewing. VRs identified by finite element analysis (FEA) implemented time-stepping simulation. flux inversion not required. proposed concept useful rotating field or phase quantities (for open simulation). also discretized for SiL HiL applications. Finally, validation FEA experimental setup was performed.
