Permanent magnet synchronous motors: Influence of the parameters on the control of a PMSM

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to apply a two‐axis model for accurate representation of the characteristics of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) of the interior type.

Design/methodology/approach

For a three‐phase PMSM, it uses a voltage source inverter with six power transistors with independent switching and PSIM software with Matlab for checking, by simulation, how some parameters influence the start process.

Findings

It was found that pulsating components generate the synchronizing torque.

Originality/value

The paper provides a model for accurate representation of the characteristics of permanent magnet motors.
