Vector Control of Crosswise Saturating Five-Phase PMaSynRM in Wide Speed Range

This paper deals with the realization of a five-phase cross saturating permanent magnet assisted synchronous reluctance motor (PMaSynRM) drive with vector control based on maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) and flux weakening (FW) control strategies derived from the identified flux maps originating from the finite element analysis (FEM). Tracking of the reference currents in dq1 and dq3 axes is guaranteed with the proposed approach and the voltage and current constraints are not exceeded at any working condition.
