disclosures of these applications are incorporated by reference herein.
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to rotary electric motors, more particularly to the precise
control of brushless permanent magnet motors.
Background
The above-identified, copending patent applications describe the challenges of
developing efficient electric motor drives for vehicles, as a viable alternative to combustion
engines. Electronically controlled pulsed energization of windings of motors offers me prospect
of more flexible management of motor characteristics. By control of pulse width, duty cycle,
and switched application of a battery source to appropriate stator windings, functional versatility
mat is virtually indistinguishable from alternating current synchronous motor operation can be
achieved. The use of permanent magnets in conjunction with such, windings is advantageous in
limiting current consumption.
In a vehicle drive environment it is highly desirable to attain smooth operation over a
wide speed range, while maintaining a high torque output capability at minimum power
consumption. Motor structural arrangements described in the copending applications
contribute to these objectives. Electromagnet core segments may be configured as isolated
magnetically permeable structures in an annular ring to provide increased flux concentration.
Isolation of the electromagnet core segments permits individual concentration of flux in the
magnetic cores, with a minimum of flux loss or deleterious transformer interference effects
with other electromagnet members.
Precision controlled performance within brushless motor applications involves the
fusion of nonlinear feedforward compensation coupled with current feedback elements.
However, feedforward compensation expressions typically rely heavily upon various circuit
parameters, such as phase resistance, phase self-inductance and the like, which are depicted
illustratively in the equivalent circuit diagram for an individual motor phase in Fig. 1. V1 (t)
denotes the per-phase voltage input, R1 denotes the per-phase winding resistance, and L1
represents the per-phase self-inductance. E1 (t) represents the opposing back-emf voltage, of
the motor per phase and can be approximated by the following expression:

where kn denotes the per-phase back-emf voltage coefficient, ?(t) represents the rotor
velocity, Nr denotes the number of permanent magnet pairs, and ?1 (t) represents the relative
displacement between the / phase winding and a rotor reference position.
Due to phenomena affected by mechanical/manufacturing tolerances and other
structural characteristics, each motor phase will exhibit a range of values for each circuit
element Factors that can affect the magnitudes of the circuit parameters include: the net flux
linkage of the electromagnet core; fluctuations in the inductance of the core with respect to
the electrical circuit; variations in the resistance of the phase winding due to changes in
manufacturing tolerances such as the cross sectional area and winding tension; variations in
the permeability of the core (related to the grade and me processing and finishing history of
the material); phase winding technique (uniform or scrambled wound) or the build quality of
the coils on each stator core; position of the electromagnet and permanent magnet interaction
(i.e., permeance of the magnetic circuit); variations in the air gap flux density, which is
dependent on the permanent magnet rotor magnet sub assembly; residual magnetic flux
density; biasing magnetic field due to external magnetic fields; shape of coil wire
(rectangular, circular or helical); winding factor achieved in the coil; manufacturing
tolerances achieved in the core geometry which could alter the cross sectional tolerance of the
core; the effective length over which the coil is wound.
Typically, motor control strategies assume uniformity of parameter values over the
entire motor. One median parameter value is taken to represent all corresponding circuit
elements of the motor. This lumped parameter approach often leads to degradation in
tracking performance due to over/under compensation of the contro1 strategy due to parameter
value mismatch within individual phase compensation routines. Such assumed parameters
are prone to even greater discrepancies with stator structures configured as autonomous
ferromagnetically isolated core components. Thus, the need exists for an individualized
circuit parameter compensation that accounts for the parameter variations in the separate
phase windings and stator phase component structures.
Disclosure of the Invention
The present invention fulfills this need, while maintaining the benefits of the separated
and ferromagnetically isolated individual stator core element configurations such as disclosed
in the copending applications. The ability of the present invention to implement a control
strategy that compensates for individual phase circuit elements offers a higher degree of
precision controllability since each phase control loop is closely matched with its
corresponding winding and structure. This ability is obtained, at least in part, by establishing
in a control system for a multiphase motor one or more sets of parameters, the parameters of
each set specifically matched with characteristics of a respective stator phase. Successive
switched energization of each phase winding is governed by a controller that generates signals
in accordance with the parameters associated with the stator phase component for the phase
winding energized. Such control provides advantages with motors of a variety of
construction and can be applied to a motor in which each stator phase component comprises a
ferromagnetically isolated stator electromagnet, the electromagnet core elements being
separated from direct contact with each other and formed with separate phase windings.
A digital signal processor may be utilized that applies an algorithm incorporating the
parameters as constant values, the parameters for a particular phase being accessed for
generating the appropriate control signals for energizing that phase. Other parameters are
variable in dependence upon selected states of me system, such as position, temperature and
other external conditions. Alternatively, the controller may be provided with a separate loop
for each phase, each loop executing a control algorithm containing the parameters for the
respective phase. The algorithms may contain components based on the current sensed in
each phase, the sensed position and speed of the rotor, the sensed conditions received as input
signals to the controller.
The present invention is particularly advantageous in applications in which the motor
is intended to track a variable user initiated input, such as electric vehicle operation. In
response to torque command input signals, per-phase desired current trajectories are selected
by the controller in accordance with an expression that includes the particular parameters for
each phase.
Additional advantages of the present invention will become readily apparent to those
skilled in this art from the following detailed description, wherein only the preferred
embodiment of the invention is shown and described, simply by way of illustration of the best
mode contemplated of carrying out the invention. As will be realized, the invention is capable
of other and different embodiments, and its several details are capable of modifications in
various obvious respects, all without departing from the invention. Accordingly, the drawings
and description are to be regarded as illustrative in nature, and not as restrictive.

Detailed Description of the Invention
Fig. 2 is a block diagram of a motor control system in accordance with the present
invention. Multiphase motor 10 is comprises rotor 20 and stator 30. The stator has a
plurality of phase windings that are switchably energized by driving current supplied from d-c
power source 40 via electronic switch sets 42. The switch sets are coupled to controller 44
via gate drivers 46. Controller 44 has one or more user inputs and a plurality of inputs for
motor conditions sensed during operation. Current in each phase winding is sensed by a
respective one of a plurality of current sensors 48 whose outputs are provided to controller 44.
The controller may have a plurality of inputs for this purpose or, in the alternative, signals
from the current sensors may be multiplexed and connected to a single controller input.
Rotor position sensor 46 is connected to another input of controller 44 to provide position
signals thereto. The output of the position sensor is also applied to speed approximator 50,
which converts the position signals to speed signals to be applied to another input of
controller 44.
The sequence controller may comprise a microprocessor or equivalent
microcontroller, such as Texas Instrument digital signal processor TMS320LF2407APG. The
switch sets may comprise a plurality of MOSFET H-Bridges, such as International Rectifier
IRFIZ48N-ND. The gate driver may comprise Intersil MOSFET gate driver HEP4082IB. The
position sensor may comprise any known sensing means, such as a Hall effect devices
(Allegro Microsystems 92B5308), giant magneto resistive (GMR) sensors, capacitive rotary
sensors, reed switches, pulse wire sensors including amorphous sensors, resolvers, optical
sensors and the like. Hall effect current sensors, such as F.W. Bell SM-1S, may be utilized
for currents sensors 48. The speed detector 50 provides an approximation of the time
derivative of the sensed position signals.
Fig. 3 is a partial circuit diagram of a switch set and driver for an individual stator
core segment winding. Stator phase winding 34 is connected in a bridge circuit of four FETs.
It is to be understood that any of various known electronic switching elements may be used
for directing driving current in the appropriate direction to stator winding 34 such as, for
example, bipolar transistors. FET 53 and FET 55 are connected in series across the power
source, as are FET 54 and FET 56. Stator winding 34 is connected between the connection
nodes of the two series FET circuits. Gate driver 46 is responsive to control signals received
from the sequence controller 44 to apply activation signals to the gate terminals of the FETs.
FETs 53 and 56 are concurrently activated for motor current flow in one direction. For
current flow in the reverse direction, FETs 54 and 55 are concurrently activated. Gate driver
46 alternatively may be integrated in sequence controller 44.
The motor of the present invention is suitable for use in driving a vehicle wheel of an
automobile, motorcycle, bicycle, or the like. Fig. 4 is a cutaway drawing of the motor
structure that can be housed within a vehicle wheel, the stator rigidly mounted to a stationary
shaft and surrounded by a rotor for driving the wheel. The motor 10 comprises annular
permanent magnet rotor 20 separated from the stator by a radial air gap. The rotor and stator
are configured coaxially about an axis of rotation, which is centered in the stationary shaft.
The stator comprises a plurality of ferromagnetically isolated elements, or stator groups. Core
segments 32, made of magnetically permeable material separated from direct contact with
each other, have respective winding portions 34 formed on each pole. In this example, seven
stator groups are shown, each group comprised of two salient electromagnet poles allocated
circumferentially along the air gap. The rotor comprises a plurality of permanent magnets 22,
circumferentially distributed about the air gap and affixed to an annular back plate 24.
Reference is made to the Maslov et al. application 09/966,102, discussed above, for a more
detailed discussion of a motor embodying this construction. It should be appreciated,
however, that the vehicle context is merely exemplary of a multitude of particular
applications in which the motor of the present invention may be employed. The concepts of
the invention, more fully described below, are also applicable to other permanent magnet
motor structures, including a unitary stator core that supports all of the phase windings.
In the vehicle drive application example, one of the user inputs to the controller
represents required torque indicated by the user's throttle command. An increase in throttle is
indicative of a command to increase speed, which is realized by an increase in torque.
Another external input to the controller processor may include a brake signal that is generated
when the driver operates a brake pedal or handle. The processor may respond by immediately
deactivating the motor drive or, instead, vary the drive control to reduce torque and speed. A
separate external deactivation signal can be applied to immediately respond to the driver's
command.
The control system torque tracking functionality should maintain steady state
operation for a constant input command through varying external conditions, such as changes
in driving conditions, load gradient, terrain, etc. The control system should be responsive to
the driver's throttle input to accurately and smoothly accommodate changes in torque
commands. Fig. 5 is a block diagram that illustrates torque controller methodology using
feedforward compensation expressions that take into account sensed motor operation
conditions as well as individual circuit parameter values to obtain these objectives. For
precision torque tracking, the per-phase desired current trajectories are selected according to
the following expression:

where la denotes per-phase desired current trajectory, td denotes the user's requested torque
command, W, represents the total number of phase windings, Kn denotes a per-phase torque
transmission coefficient and ?i represents relative positional displacement between the
phase winding and a rotor reference point. The per-phase current magnitude is dependent on
the per-phase value of the torque transmission coefficient Kn.
In older to develop the desired phase currents the following per-phase voltage control
expression is applied to the driver for the phase windings:

Fig. 5 represents the methodology, generally indicated by reference numeral 60, by which the
controller derives the components of this voltage control expression in real time, utilizing the
torque command input and the signals received from phase current sensors, position sensor
and speed detector. The external user requested (desired) torque command td(t), responsive
to the throttle, is input to controller function block 62 and rotor position 9 is input to
controller function block 64. Block 64 produces an output representing excitation angle ?1
(t) based on the rotor position, the number of permanent magnet pole pairs (Nr) the number of
stator phases (Ns), and the phase delay of the particular phase. The output of controller
function block 64 is fed to controller function block 62. Using the excitation angle input thus
received, controller function block 62 determines, in accordance with the expression set forth
above, how phase currents are distributed among the Ns phases such that the user requested
torque td (t) is developed by the motor. Controller function block 66 calculates the difference
between the desired phase current Idi (t) received from block 62 and me sensed phase current
Ii (t) to output a phase current track error signal ei (t). This error signal is multiplied by gain
factor ks in controller function block 68. The effect of the current feedback gain is to increase
overall system robustness via the rejection of system disturbances due to measurement noise
and any model parameter inaccuracies. The output of block 68 is fed to controller function
block 70. Block 70 outputs time varying voltage signals Vi (t) to the gate drivers 52 for the
selective controlled energization of me phase windings 34. Vi (t) has components that
compensate for the effects of inductance, induced back-emf and resistance.
To compensate for the presence of inductance within phase windings, the term
Ldldi/dt, wherein dldi/dt denotes the standard time derivative of the desired phase current Idi
(t), is input to the controller function block 70 to be added in the phase voltage calculation.
Determination of Ldldi/dt, is made at controller function block 72, acting upon the received
inputs of td(t), ?1 (t) and ? (t). To compensate for the induced back-emf voltage the term
Ei is added in the phase voltage calculation as an input to function block 70 from controller
function block 74. The back-emf compensation value is derived from the excitation angle
and speed, received as inputs to block 74 using back-emf coefficient Kei. To compensate for
voltage drop attributed to phase winding resistance and parasitic resistance, the term Ri Ii(t) is
added in the phase voltage calculation as an input to function block 70 from controller
function block 76.
In operation, controller 44 successively outputs control signals Vi (t) to the gate
drivers for individual energization of respective phase windings. The gate drivers activate the
respective switch sets so that the sequence in which windings are selected comports with a
sequence established in the controller. The sequence is transmitted to the gate drivers through
me link only generally illustrated in the diagram of Fig. 5. Each successive control signal V/
(t) is related to the particular current sensed in me corresponding phase winding, the
immediately sensed rotor position and speed, and also to model parameters, Kei and Kei, that
have been predetermined specifically for the respective phases. Thus, for each derived
control signal Vi (t), in addition to receiving timely sensed motor feedback signals, the
controller must access the parameters specific to the particular phase to which the control
signal corresponds. The controller thus has the ability to compensate for individual phase
characteristic differences among the various stator phases. To prevent over/under
compensation of the voltage control routine, the per-phase circuit parameters utilized are
exactly matched to their actual phases values.
The per-phase torque transmission coefficient Kn captures the per-phase torque
contribution of each phase. This parameter is proportional to the ratio of the effective torque
generated per current applied for that phase. The torque developed by the phase is a function
of the magnetic flux density developed in the core material of the phase, which produces the
effective air gap flux density. The design of the electromagnetic core geometry takes into
account current density, which is a function of the ampere-turns on each portion of the core in
order to optimize induction in the material without driving the core into saturation. However,
the magnetic properties of the core material are often non-homogeneous throughout the stator
core. If the motor is configured with separated, ferromagnetically autonomous electromagnet
cores, inconsistencies can be even more pronounced. Variations in winding and inductance
also contribute in determining the torque constant and the back-emf coefficient parameters.
There will be degradation in the effective flux buildup in the core if air pockets are formed in
the windings. Although high packing factors can be achieved through uniform winding, there
can be variations in wire manufacturing. Thus, if a nominal motor torque transmission
coefficient and a nominal back-emf coefficient are utilized by the controller, the variation in
properties of the phases produces overall motor output torque ripple. The torque controller
methodology represented in Fig. 5 avoids this problem by applying the per-phase torque
transmission coefficient and back-emf coefficients predetermined for each phase.
The computations illustrated in Fig. 5 are performed successively in real time. The
expression shown in block 62 has been selected to provide the desired currents for tracking
torque in the preferred embodiment This expression can be modified if factors other than
precisely tracking changes in torque input commands are also of significance. For example,
in some vehicle environments, degree of acceleration and deceleration may be of
consideration to avoid unnecessarily rough driving conditions. The expression in block 62
thus can be changed to accommodate additional considerations.
The controller methodology illustrated in Fig. 5 may be performed in an integrated
execution scheme in which particular phase parameters are substituted for each generated
control voltage output Alternatively, the controller 44 may provide a separate control loop
for each stator phase n, as represented in the partial block diagram of Fig. 6. For each of the
N, motor phases, a corresponding control loop 60/ is provided. Each loop contains die
relevant parameters for the respective motor phase. The control loops are activated in
accordance with the appropriate motor phase energization sequence and need only the sensed
motor feedback signals for generation of the control voltages.
In this disclosure there is shown and described only preferred embodiments of the
invention and but a few examples of its versatility. It is to be understood that the invention is
capable of use in various other combinations and environments and is capable of changes or
modifications within the scope of the inventive concept as expressed herein. For example, in
the control methodology illustrated in Fig. 5, the desired per-phase current ldi (t) can be
determined in real time from the received inputs of td (t), ?i (t) by reference to values stored
in look-up tables. Look-up tables would be provided for each stator phase.
As can be appreciated, the motor of the invention can be utilized in a wide range of
applications in addition to vehicle drives. While it is preferred, in the implementation of a
vehicle drive, that the rotor surround the stator, other applications may find advantageous utility
with the stator surrounding the rotor. Thus, it is within the contemplation of the invention that
each inner and outer annular member may comprise either the stator or rotor and may comprise
either the group of electromagnets or group of permanent magnets.
