A Control System of an Electric Drive with a Synchronous Reluctance Machine with Independent Excitation

A method for adjusting frequency-regulated drives with the synchronous reluctance machine with independent excitation is proposed using the KhPT-250 cold tube reducing mill and traction drive of a Gazelle-Next electric vehicle as example; the method consists in independent adjustment of the phase currents with the subsequent identification of parameters of the control object by methods of frequency identification. It has been shown that, with independent control of the excitation currents and the anchor reaction, the cross links between phase current control loops can be neglected, which can be accounted for by the large bandwidth of the uniform pass-through frequency of the phase current control loops and the weak influence of phase windings located in the interpolar gap on the operation of the phase windings that currently located above the pole. It has been shown that when the drive operates at high speeds, a significant decrease in the proportionality coefficient between the magnitude of the electromagnetic moment and current is observed, which is explained by the finite speed of the phase current control loop. When adjusting the electric drive control system with dual-zone speed control, it has been suggested to introduce a correction for the anticipatory effect of the phase current in order to provide a constant relationship between the anchor component of phase current and the magnitude of electromagnetic moment.
