Recent advances in loss minimization algorithms for IPMSM drives

This paper provides a comprehensive review of different loss minimization algorithms (LMAs) for interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) drives. The modelling of IPMSM incorporating the iron loss is also presented in this paper. The two major loss minimization algorithms such as search-based and loss model-based are compared. The loss minimization techniques using those two algorithms are presented. The real-time implementation of the IPMSM drive incorporating the LMA is discussed. Finally, sample simulation and experimental results of the IPMSM drive with some LMA are presented.
