A new approach for torque ripple reduction in a faulty surface permanent magnet synchronous motor by inverse current injection
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to present a new method to generate stator currents supplying a Surface Permanent Magnets Synchronous Motor (SPMSM) presenting an asymmetry of the stator windings. This asymmetry may be due to a lack of turns in one of the stator windings or to an inter-turns short circuit. An analytical model of the SPMSM is developed to calculate the current which allows minimizing the torque ripple generated by the asymmetry. This model is based on the combination of the space harmonics of the flux densities of stator and rotor for the generation of the torque. Our study leads to define a stator inverse current system able to compensate the harmonic torque component at the double of the supply frequency. In the experimental tests, several cases of supply were applied and the results confirmed those obtained by the analytical study essentially concerning the amplitude of the inverse current.
