Improved Small-Signal Injection-Based Online Multiparameter Identification Method for IPM Machines Considering Cross-Coupling Magnetic Saturation

A novel online multiparameter identification method is proposed for interior permanent magnet (IPM) machines considering cross-coupling magnetic saturation. The identification method is based on the combination of small-signal impedance model and fundamental frequency signal model under dq -axes. To analyze the nonlinearity of IPM machines, cross-coupling magnetic saturation effect is introduced into online multiparameter identification for the first time. Based on this model, a phase compensation strategy and orthogonal decomposition in phasor domain is proposed to decouple the complicated mathematical model into four linear equations. By injecting voltage small-signals into dq -axes, multiparameter of IPM machine including adjusted apparent inductance, incremental self-inductance, incremental mutual-inductance can be identified online in a wide operation region. During this process, no additional computing equipment is required. The proposed method is carried out on a tested IPM machine and verified by the finite-element analysis.
