Abstract |
The MTPA algorithms are attractive solutions for reaching very high energy efficient drives. The paper presents a general formulation of the MTPA problem statement, including also the magnetic saturation in the formulation. A classification and a review of the MTPA techniques is proposed in this paper. A distinctive feature of the proposed classification is the highlighting of the most important characteristics (e.g. needs of motor parameters, signal injection, self-commissioning tests, etc.) of each technique. Also, offline and online techniques are thoroughly discussed. All synchronous motors, with or without permanent magnets, are considered. |
