Advanced methodology for maximum torque point tracking of hybrid excitation PMSM for EVs
摘要
This manuscript presents an innovative control strategy for the Hybrid Excitation Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (HEPMSM) designed for electric vehicle (EV) applications. The strategy combines Maximum Torque Point Tracking (MTPT) and Maximum Torque Per Ampere (MTPA) techniques to track the ideal torque-speed profile, ensuring maximum torque at low speeds for starting and climbing, and high power at higher speeds for cruising. A novel unidirectional excitation current method is proposed to replace traditional bidirectional field current control, eliminating the risk of permanent magnet demagnetization, reducing copper losses, and increasing efficiency. This approach extends the constant power (CP) region by a 4.2:1 ratio. The manuscript also introduces a detailed mathematical model, considering both iron core losses and their impact on the EV profile. Additionally, the Multi-Objective Ant Lion Optimizer (MOALO) algorithm is used in two stages: first to optimize the hybridization ratio (HR) and base speed (Nb), and second to analyze the effect of varying the hybridization ratio while maintaining constrained output power. The proposed strategy is validated through MATLAB simulations, demonstrating its effectiveness in achieving high acceleration, efficiency, and reliability for EV applications.
