Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to a method for calculating a reference current of a permanent magnet motor for field weakening control, and belongs to the technical field of field weakening control. BACKGROUND

[0002] Permanent magnet motors are widely used in new energy vehicles, electric vehicle drives, numerical control machine tools, robots, spacecraft actuators, and high-performance industrial servo systems, etc. due to their high power density, high efficiency, fast dynamic response, compact structure, and other characteristics. With the increasing demand for the expansion of high-speed operation regions for various equipment, the requirement for permanent magnet motors to operate in the field weakening region is increasingly prominent. Normally, permanent magnet motors can rely on the magnetic flux of permanent magnets to provide sufficient voltage margin to meet the excitation requirement when operating below the base speed. However, when the speed continues to rise above the base speed, the back electromotive force increases with the speed and approaches or even exceeds the DC bus voltage, resulting in that the inverter cannot provide sufficient voltage vectors to maintain normal excitation and current regulation, the system performance is reduced, and even the problem of unable to continue to increase the speed occurs. To ensure the continuous and safe operation of the motor above the base speed, field weakening control becomes a key technology in the control system of the permanent magnet motor.

[0003] The basic idea of field weakening control is to actively introduce a current that weakens the air gap magnetic field in the high-speed region to reduce the effective air gap flux and the back electromotive force amplitude, so that the inverter still has a suitable voltage modulation margin under the limited DC bus voltage, and stable high-speed operation is achieved.

[0004] In the traditional field weakening control method, the generation path of the field weakening control reference current mainly includes two types.

[0005] First, it is an automatic generation method based on voltage margin feedback, that is, by comparing the difference between the voltage vector amplitude and the DC bus voltage reference value, and using a PI controller to generate a field weakening control reference current, so as to automatically adjust the air gap flux in the high-speed region. For example, the Chinese invention patent with publication number CN102035445A discloses a high-speed field weakening closed-loop control method for permanent magnet synchronous motors, which proposes to use a closed-loop field weakening regulation structure to automatically adjust the field weakening control reference current with the change of voltage margin; the Chinese invention patent with publication number CN105450121A discloses a motor field weakening control method, which similarly uses the difference between the voltage amplitude and the DC bus voltage as a field weakening regulation signal, and automatically generates a field weakening control reference current through a PI controller to ensure that the motor obtains stable voltage margin under different high-speed conditions. This kind of method relies on PI cross-loop regulation, and the control process has self-adaptability, but the field weakening control reference current lacks direct correlation with the actual motor parameters.

[0006] Secondly, based on motor model parameters (such as inductance, permanent magnet flux linkage, etc.) directly using mathematical relationship to calculate the required field weakening control reference current. Such methods are generally based on current limit circle and voltage limit ellipse theory, by constructing Lagrange function and solving the optimal current distribution, so as to obtain the minimum field weakening control reference current satisfying the voltage constraint in high speed area. For example, the Chinese invention patent with publication number CN103840732A discloses a driving motor field weakening control method, which establishes motor voltage equation and current, voltage limit condition, so that the field weakening control reference current is directly calculated by analytical formula, realizing the field weakening control method without additional controller. In contrast, such method has clear calculation process, strong real-time performance, does not need additional PI control structure, and the system structure is relatively simple. However, the calculation method based on current limit circle and voltage limit ellipse theory has an inherent premise: the accurate torque control reference current is required to calculate the field weakening control reference current, which is used to form the constraint equation and optimization condition. The problem brought by this is that the torque control reference current in high speed area is usually affected by motor magnetic saturation, back electromotive force distortion and parameter change, etc. It is easy to deviate, and then it will lead to the inconsistency between the field weakening calculation result and the actual optimal value, so that the error of the finally generated field weakening control reference current appears, reducing the stability of the field weakening area. SUMMARY

[0007] The purpose of the present application is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art. The permanent magnet motor widely adopts field weakening strategy in high speed operation and expansion control, but the traditional field weakening control method usually depends on the pre-calculated torque control reference current, which is easily affected by magnetic saturation, back electromotive force distortion and parameter change in high speed area, thereby leading to field weakening current calculation error, and it is difficult to guarantee the system stability. In view of the above problems, a calculation method of field weakening control reference current of permanent magnet motor is proposed.

[0008] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is: A calculation method of field weakening control reference current of permanent magnet motor, comprising the following steps: S1, calculating the voltage constraint coefficient, constructing the calculation formula of the voltage constraint coefficient k1: , wherein ω max is the maximum no-load speed of the permanent magnet motor, ψ f is the permanent magnet flux linkage, V dc is the DC bus voltage; S2, calculating the expected value of the field weakening control reference current, constructing the calculation formula of the expected value i dref0 of the field weakening control reference current: , wherein L s is the winding inductance of the permanent magnet motor, ω refa desired speed of the permanent magnet motor; S3, a weak magnetic control reference current compensation, a stator resistance voltage drop is estimated according to a stator resistance Rs of the permanent magnet motor and three-phase currents ia, ib, ic measured in real time, and an effective available voltage U of the weak magnetic control is obtained ef , , the compensation formula is: , the compensated weak magnetic control reference current i drefc is calculated S4, a current limit is judged and an amplitude limiting process is performed, whether the weak magnetic control reference current initial value i max is beyond the allowable range is judged according to the maximum allowable current I dref0 of the permanent magnet motor, and a flag factor k2 is set according to the judgment result: ; S5, a weak magnetic control reference current value is set, the weak magnetic control reference current value i dref is calculated according to the flag factor k2 .

[0009] Preferably, the three-phase currents ia, ib, ic are collected in real time by a Hall current sensor on the motor stator side.

[0010] Preferably, the winding inductance L s , the stator resistance Rs, and the permanent magnet flux linkage ψ f are inherent parameters of the permanent magnet motor, and the maximum no-load speed ω max is obtained by no-load test.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the present application mainly include: 1. Avoiding error accumulation of torque control reference current, the control precision of the weak magnetic area is significantly improved; 2. Dynamic compensation and amplitude limiting protection double mechanism, adapting to complex working conditions in high speed area, excellent anti-interference ability; 3. Without additional PI controller or torque current calculation module, strong real-time performance, easy for engineering implementation; 4. Precise matching of voltage constraint, maximizing the utilization efficiency of the DC bus voltage, supporting higher speed expansion. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
