Abstract. An efficiency optimization metho of permanent magnet synchronous machine for electric vehicles applications is researche. Consiering iron loss euivalent resistance an irect torue control scheme, the relationship of stator flux an power loss is erive base on loss moel. An then the real-time optimal target flux can be obtaine through the relationship of -axis stator flux, target torue an electric spee at the minimum loss situation. A fitting curve of iron loss euivalent resistance versus spee is obtaine by simulation. This makes the iron loss euivalent resistance closer to the actual value compare with the fixe value. Simulation results show that the motor efficiency has been improve compare with traitional irect torue control. Introuction Compare with conventional internal combustion engine vehicles, the electric vehicles are cleaner, more efficiency an lower noise. It is currently the most promising evelopment irection of the automotive inustry with better ynamic performance [1]. The permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) with small size, light weight, compact structure, highly efficiency is suitable as electric vehicle rive motor. Variable Voltage an Variable Freuency (VVVF), Vector Control (VC), Direct Torue Control (DTC) are the three methos for permanent magnet synchronous motor control []. Direct Torue Control (DTC) has avantages of simple control structure, fast torue response an robustness. Although permanent magnet synchronous motors have higher efficiency compare with asynchronous motors, the loss of the motor is still exist. Wang Jin [3] analyze factors affecting motor s losses an also conclue methos ecreasing losses. Xu Jun-feng [4] an Xu Yan-ping [5] stuie the relationship of current an loss of surface permanent magnet synchronous motor. Chen Xu [6] propose LMC (loss minimum control) base on searching metho. Kang Chang [7] presente a generalize relationship between - current for the LMC of PMSM. It showe that maximum torue per ampere an maximum torue per voltage can be erive as special case of LMC. The - current was treate as irect control value in this metho. A. Dittrich [8] an Naomitsu Urasaki etc. [9] propose a calculation metho for iron loss resistance in the offline manner base on the linear feature between semi-input power an suare of spee electromotive force. The loss of motors inclues iron loss, copper loss, stray loss an mechanical loss [10]. The mechanical loss can t be controlle as it is not irectly relate to current, torue an flux values. Just iron loss an copper loss are escribe in this paper. The loss moel of PMSM The - axis euivalent circuit of PMSM consiering iron loss an copper loss is shown in Figure 1. For control purpose, the iron loss is moelle as a resistance, known as iron loss resistance which is in parallel in the circuit. The - axis current is ivie into iron loss current an excitation current The authors - Publishe by Atlantis Press 70
