Analytical Modeling of Parameter Imbalance in Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines

Abstract: This paper presents a systematic and comprehensive analysis of the impact of parameter imbalance in permanent magnet synchronous machines. Analytical models that reveal the effects of imbalance are obtained for each parameter. Thereafter, the models are verified for accuracy by comparison with complex simulations that closely represent true machine behavior. Such models may be utilized for developing (general) algorithms for detection, learning and mitigation of the negative effects of parameter imbalance including current (and thus torque) pulsations during real-time operation.
