Modeling of Core Loss Resistance for Equivalent Circuit Analysis of IPMSM considering Harmonic Linkage Flux

摘要

This paper presents modeling of core loss resistance for $d-q$ equivalent circuit analysis of IPMSM considering harmonic linkage flux. High efficiency is one of the major advantages of IPMSM, therefore precise loss analysis is required for high efficiency design. However, there is practical limitation of $d-q$ equivalent circuit analysis in the calculation of core loss due to harmonic components of flux especially in high speed region where field weakening is generally applied. Harmonic components of linkage flux leads to the underestimation of core loss. Especially operation with high constant speed power range results in severe underestimate of core loss. Harmonic components of linkage flux are added to the general $d-q$ axis equivalent circuits in this paper, therefore core losses due to harmonic components are considered by increased voltage drop across core loss resistance. From the presented modeling of core loss resistance, precise core loss can be obtained. Verification with FEA and experiments are presented.
