1Speed
If field weakening technique is used to adjust rotational speed by changing lead angle, then rotational speed increases, but output torque decreases and load increases causing rapid decrease in output rotational speed
Solution Approach 1:
The controller continuously acquires rotor position information and adjusts the resultant magnetic potential based on feedback from the motor's actual state. This closed-loop control ensures that the output electrical parameter remains within the preset parameter range, maintaining rotational speed stability while preventing torque collapse that would occur with traditional field weakening methods
Solution Approach 2:
The controller adjusts the resultant magnetic potential of the motor by changing the conduction states of the driver circuit based on rotor position information. This dynamic parameter adjustment allows the motor to maintain stable operation across varying loads while achieving speed control, avoiding the torque degradation associated with conventional field weakening approaches
2Speed
If field weakening technique is used to adjust rotational speed by changing lead angle, then rotational speed increases, but output torque decreases affecting the ability of motor to do work
Solution Approach 1:
The controller dynamically adjusts the resultant magnetic potential by modifying the conduction states of the driver circuit based on real-time rotor position information. This parameter optimization enables the motor to maintain both high rotational speed and adequate output torque, preventing the power loss that occurs with traditional field weakening methods
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements dynamic control by continuously adjusting the resultant magnetic potential according to rotor position and load conditions. This dynamic adaptation allows the motor to maintain optimal performance across varying operating conditions, preserving both speed and torque capabilities that would otherwise be compromised by static field weakening approaches
