Introduction:
The salient feature and low effective air gap of interior permanent magnet synchronous motor
(IPMSM) make it well suited for wide speed range operation. Due to overcome of the induced voltage,
i.e. back EMF over the maximum available voltage at high speeds, the speed of the machine remains
limited. Therefore, flux-weakening control is required to run the machine above a certain base speed.
The control performance of the IPMSM, is deeply influenced if the method applied depends on the
machine parameters. Stator resistance and permanent magnet flux linkage are directly affected by
temperature changes and cannot retain the fixed values. Furthermore, since the effective air-gap in
IPMSM is relatively small, as compared to surface permanent magnet synchronous machine
(SPMSM), the armature reaction has a significant effect. This causes Magnetic saturation and hence
the self-inductances for d and q-axis (Ld and Lq) vary with the change in the air-gap flux. Cross
coupling may also exist between Ld and Lq . This effect becomes significant especially in the flux-
weakening region. Notably, the q-axis inductance exhibits more variation and depends on the current
in that axis, whereas the d-axis inductance in comparison remains uniform.
In this paper Section II describes briefly the mathematical modelling of an IPMSM and a magnetic
model based on MOR. Section III details the feasible operating area of a PMSM, the methodology of
the control technique and the implementation of MOR in the algorithm. In Section IV, we provide
the simulation and the experimental results of the proposed method applied to a 2.2 kW IPMSM drive.
Control Scheme:
Field oriented control strategy is adopted in the control structure of this paper. Fig.1 shows the overall
control scheme for the machine under study. The rotor position θr and the actual speed ωr of the
machine are known by means of an encoder. A proportional-integral (PI) speed controller is used to
obtain the torque reference Tref. The current references are generated depending upon the machine
speed and the control region. We use a discrete-time current controller to control the current
components and attain the reference voltages. Finally, the voltage regulation occurs accordingly to
be exerted on motor terminals through space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM).

Fig.1 Proposed block diagram of the control system for an IPMSM
When the speed is above the base speed, the flux weakening region, the control of the machine is no
longer possible through the id = 0 control principle. Instead, a demagnetizing flux is introduced that
encounters the fixed flux produced by the permanent magnets. The most feasible means to accomplish
this aim is the instigation of negative d component of current that fosters the opposing flux. In this
case, the magnetic saturation effect cannot be neglected and the variation of Ld and Lq with respect
to the current can deteriorate the performance of the system.
The proposed control system is validated by means of simulation and experiment. For the
experimental setup, the maximum voltage available at the lab was 370 V. With this voltage, the speed
of the machine can rise approximately up to 900 rpm before it enters the flux weakening region.
Therefore, due to the voltage limitation, we consider the base speed to be 900 rpm, rather than the
rated speed of the machine. The total inertia of the system is also calculated to be 0.045 kgm2 by
performing a deceleration test on the experimental setup.
Simulation and Results:
The proposed control system is implemented in MATLAB/Simulink environment. Fig.2 presents the
acceleration test for the IPMSM under investigation. The reference speed is changed stepwise from
zero to about 1.7 times of the base speed. As it can be seen, the machine enters the flux weakening
region at t ≈ 0.7 s, after which the OIM is used in the reference computation of the current
components. It should be noted that the rise time of the speed curve is significantly affected by the
total inertia of the system and the high friction acting on the rotor of the PMSM machine.
Fig.3 illustrates the effect of the magnetic saturation and the cross coupling in the ψd-ψq plane. The
solid curve represents the result from the proposed control system and the dashed curve corresponds
to the result when magnetic saturation is not considered. For the latter case, the control system is
designed by solely using the rated inductances values. The IPMSM under investigation has low level
of saturation and the cross-coupling effect is distinct in ψq as id increases. Therefore, for small values
of id, both control systems provide similar results. However, as id increases in negative direction, the
difference between the fluxes is noticeable. Fig.4 shows the saturation and cross-coupling effects on
the torque generation. Based on this figure, the control system without saturation enters the flux
weakening region at lower speed and has lower value of torque in this region, compared to the
proposed control system.
The proposed method is implemented in the flux weakening control of an IPMSM, however, the same
approach can be applied to any synchronous motors at different operating speed range. The principal
advantage of this method is that it eliminates the effect of magnetic saturation, cross coupling, and
parameter sensitivity, since the method is independent of the motor parameters such as Ld, Lq, and
the PM flux. Moreover, since the OIM significantly reduces the number of unknowns, it can be an
efficient substitute for the look-up tables in the control systems. The simulation and experimental
results, provided in the last section of the paper, validate the feasibility of the proposed control
method. In the future work, we will consider the spatial harmonics in the model and study the effect
of torque loading on the control method.

I. INTRODUCTION
Last few decades have experienced a rapid progress of science and technology. Transportation has
become major part of peoples’ lives, driving the future towards electronic vehicles and industrial
automation. To assure high performance and meet the global standards many technological
advancements have been made. Energy requirements and sources of energy play an important role in
this revolution at the same time taking care of sustainability.
High performance permanent magnet materials are used in the permanent magnet synchronous motor
in order to enhance and optimize its performance. Compared with DC motor. Permanent magnet
synchronous motor has advantage of simple structure, and are convenient to use and highly
reliable.[4] The advantages of permanent magnet synchronous motor make people pay more attention

to it, it has been widely used in EV field and various others too due to high efficiency, high power
density, compact structure, high power factor and ruggedness of capability of operating over a large
speed range, yielding almost constant power.[3][6][7]
The IPM motors are characterized by the absence of rotor losses that calls for “cool” rotor and
increasing efficiency, and the high torque vs. weight ratio. Additional features are the robustness of
the rotor structure, mechanically suited to high-speed operation, and the presence of magnetic
saliency, that is the “direct” d‐axis inductance is substantially different from the “quadrature” q‐axis
inductance, where the d‐axis is usually selected to be aligned with the PM flux axis according to the
equivalent Park model of the synchronous machine. This characteristic is particularly suited for
extending the torque/speed operating region by proper “field weakening” control techniques, [1]; and,
also, it allows the application of some specific approaches to position and speed detection (“self-
sensing” or “sensor-less” control), such as injection of high frequency voltage or currents
investigating the rotor saliency, [2]. The paper represents the various works that have been presented
to improve the efficiency and performance of IPMSM (interior permanent magnet synchronous
motor) with various topologies, proofs and mathematical model of IPM Motor.
For different control objectives, several control strategies, which control the PMSM based on the
FOC method, can be summarized as follows:
• MTPA control
• FW control
• Unity power factor control
• Optimal efficiency control
Compared with unity power factor control and optimal efficiency control, MTPA control and FW
control are more practical in industrial drives due to its maximum drive efficiency in MTPA control
and wide operation speed range of FW control show in Fig.1

introduction of negative 𝑖𝑑 in order to produce any positive torque. Negative 𝑖𝑑 reduces the required
amount of 𝑖𝑞 by aiding in the reluctance torque generation. Since a positive value of direct axis current
is opposing the magnetic torque, a positive 𝑖𝑑 is never desired. Since resistive loss in the stator solely
depends on phase current magnitudes, it is always preferred to operate the motor as close as possible
to these 𝑖𝑞, 𝑖𝑑 pairs. Since it is similar to maximizing the torque output for a particular amount of
current, the operation scheme is called Maximum Torque per Ampere (MTPA).
2. Field Weakening:
The basic idea of FW is to holding-on to a constant armature current, the armature MMF space
vector is re-oriented to a position that opposes the MMF of the PM, and hence reduces the total
resultant flux in the airgap. The weaker the net resultant air-gap flux the higher the motor speed.
That is, in FW control the resultant air-gap flux is in inverse proportion to the motor speed.
Ød=LdId + Øm
Øq=LqIq
By increasing the absolute value of Id towards the negative side, the Ød will decreased and according
to this the resulting air gap flux is lowered. This causes the speed of the motor to increase also. As
the motor speed increases above the base speed, in field weakening mode as shown in fig.2, the
maximum current and voltage limits of the inverter are reached. So, the FWA has to take also into
consideration the current and voltage limits of the inverter.
