Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of motor technology, and specifically to a method for calibrating the performance of a permanent magnet synchronous motor. Background Technology

[0002] With the rise of new energy vehicles, permanent magnet synchronous motors are increasingly being used in these vehicles due to their advantages such as high efficiency, small size, and high power density. To achieve precise and safe control of permanent magnet synchronous motors, their performance needs to be calibrated.

[0003] To ensure optimal performance and safe operation of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) across their entire operating range, testing on a test bench is necessary. During testing, accurate current calibration is required at designated operating points throughout the motor's speed and torque range. Currently, most PMSM performance calibration methods employ full-scan test calibration on a test bench, scanning every speed, current, and current phase angle across the entire speed range. However, this is labor-intensive and requires highly skilled and experienced calibration personnel, as high-speed calibration is dangerous and prone to accidents such as runaway motoring, communication interruptions, and excessive temperature rise leading to burnout. Another method utilizes motor simulation data provided by motor engineers. This method is convenient and quick, but the simulation data is not precise enough and may overlook saturation effects, end effects, and deviations in actual material properties and manufacturing consistency. Therefore, this method lacks accuracy and can sometimes result in significant deviations.

[0004] Therefore, a safer, more reliable, convenient, faster, and more accurate calibration method is needed to calibrate the performance of permanent magnet synchronous motors. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome the problems of cumbersome steps, large workload, danger and inaccuracy in the existing calibration methods for permanent magnet synchronous motors, this invention provides a new calibration method for permanent magnet synchronous motors.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A method for calibrating the performance of a permanent magnet synchronous motor, comprising the following steps:

[0008] S1: Install the motor to be calibrated on the test bench, connect the motor to the motor controller, and connect the motor controller to the high-voltage DC power supply.

[0009] S2: At low speed n1, the motor torque and voltage are tested one by one with full current I and full phase angle θ to obtain the maximum torque T1 and the corresponding phase angle θ1 of each current in the low-speed non-weakening field region.

[0010] S3: The optimal phase angle θ2 and stress torque T2 of different currents at different rotational speeds n2 in the high-speed field weakening region are obtained by interpolation.

[0011] S4: Test the no-load torque T3 at different speeds across the entire speed range, i.e., the no-load loss torque;

[0012] S5: Calculate the mechanical torque T at different speeds across the entire speed range, and compile it into a table to complete the calibration.

[0013] Furthermore, the range of the total current I is 0 to the peak current, and the range of the total phase angle θ is 0 to 90°. The current I increases by one-tenth of the peak current each time starting from 0, and the phase angle θ increases by 5° each time starting from 0. That is, there are multiple sets of corresponding current I and phase angle θ.

[0014] Furthermore, according to Formula I d =I·Cos(90°+θ), I q =I·Sin(90°+θ), calculate the current I corresponding to each group of currents I. d and current I q .

[0015] Furthermore, the specific steps of the individual tests in step 2 are as follows: under each corresponding current I and phase angle θ, perform a test on the motor to be calibrated. After the motor to be calibrated runs stably, record the torque and d-axis voltage U for each test. d1 q-axis voltage U q1 This leads to multiple sets of data.

[0016] Preferably, a two-dimensional torque table is obtained by tabulating multiple sets of test data, and the maximum torque T1 and corresponding phase angle θ1 of each current in the low-speed non-weak magnetic region are obtained by comparison and sorting.

[0017] In the theory of permanent magnet synchronous motors, the same current produces the same torque at different speeds within the constant torque region (low-speed non-weakening field region). Therefore, the maximum torque T1 and the corresponding phase angle θ1 of each current in the low-speed non-weakening field region can be obtained by testing at low speed n1.

[0018] Furthermore, step 3 also includes:

[0019] S31: Calculate the direct-axis flux linkage Ψ corresponding to the total current I (0-peak current) and the total phase angle θ (0-90°) at low speed n1. d and cross-axis magnetic flux Ψ q The formula for this calculation step is as follows:

[0020] Multiple sets of Ψ were obtained dand Ψ q ,

[0021] Where R is the stator winding resistance, measured by a resistance meter, ω e The electric angular velocity is related to the rotational speed, where n is the rotational speed.

[0022] S32: Calculate the d-axis voltage U corresponding to different high-speed n2 under full current I (0-peak current) and full phase angle θ (0-90°). d2 q-axis voltage U q2 The calculation formula for this step is:

[0023] U d2 =R·I d –ω e ·ψ q U q2 =R·I q +ω e ·ψ d Multiple sets of U values ​​were obtained for different rotational speeds n2, different currents I2, and different phase angles θ. d2 and U q2 ;

[0024] S33: In the high-speed field weakening region, calculate the phase voltage U corresponding to different high-speed n2 at the full current I (0-peak current) and the full phase angle θ (0-90°). s The calculation formula for this step is:

[0025] U s =sqrt(U d2 ·U d2 +U q2 ·U q2 ), resulting in multiple sets of U s ,

[0026] Where sqrt represents the square root;

[0027] S34: In the high-speed field weakening region, for different high-speed n2 under full current I (0-peak current), use interpolation to find the value that satisfies... The value of the phase angle θ2 is the optimal phase angle θ2 under different high speeds and different currents.

[0028] Among them, U dc DC high voltage is a performance parameter of the motor system, while K is the field weakening coefficient, which is a control parameter of the motor system.

[0029] S35: Based on the optimal phase angle θ2 of different high speeds n2 under different currents, the torque T2 is obtained by combining the two-dimensional torque table in S2 with the interpolation method.

[0030] Furthermore, in step 4, the mechanical torque T at different speeds across the entire rotational speed is the difference between the optimal torque and the no-load torque T3.

[0031] Therefore, in this calibration process, the performance of the motor to be calibrated is tested at a low speed in the low-speed field weakening region, and the optimal performance parameters are found based on the test data. For the high-speed field weakening region, the optimal performance parameters corresponding to different high speeds are obtained through calculation and interpolation. Finally, the optimal performance parameters of the motor to be calibrated in the full speed range are obtained, thus completing the calibration of the motor performance.

[0032] The present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0033] 1. The present invention provides a calibration method for the performance of a permanent magnet synchronous motor. This calibration method obtains the performance parameters of the motor under test at a low speed under full current and full phase angle by testing at a low speed, and then obtains the optimal performance parameters of the motor under test in the low-speed non-field weakening region, without the need to calibrate at each speed in the low-speed non-field weakening region.

[0034] 2. The present invention provides a calibration method for the performance of a permanent magnet synchronous motor. This calibration method obtains the optimal performance parameters at different high speeds in the high-speed field weakening region by calculation and interpolation based on the relevant data obtained at low speeds. This avoids testing the performance parameters of the motor to be calibrated at high speeds, making the calibration process safer, more reliable, and faster.

[0035] 3. The present invention provides a calibration method for the performance of a permanent magnet synchronous motor, which makes the final measured optimal torque more accurate by testing the no-load torque at different speeds. Attached Figure Description

According to the theory of permanent magnet synchronous motor, at different speeds within the constant torque region (non-weakening field region), the same current produces the same torque. Therefore, the torque T1 and the phase angle θ1 are the optimal control performance parameters for different currents in the low-speed non-weakening field region.

For the high-speed field weakening region, the mechanical torque T = T2 - T3. Compile the optimal performance parameters at different speeds across the entire speed range into a table to complete the calibration.

[0064] In summary, the purpose of the calibration method for permanent magnet synchronous motor performance provided by this invention is to find the optimal performance parameters, i.e., the best performance, at different speeds across the entire speed range. By dividing the entire speed range into a low-speed non-field weakening region and a high-speed field weakening region, the optimal performance parameters of the motor to be calibrated are found by conducting comprehensive tests on a low speed in the low-speed non-field weakening region. For the high-speed field weakening region, the optimal performance corresponding to different high speeds is derived through relevant calculations, thus completing the entire calibration process.
