Design of permanent magnet synchronous motor control system for electric vehicle air conditioning compressor

Abstract

The permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is extensively utilized in electric vehicle air conditioning compressor control systems due to its numerous advantages, including high efficiency, lightweight design, compact size, excellent reliability, and low maintenance costs. In order to achieve PMSM without position sensor full speed range operation, this paper designs an optimized control strategy for full speed range operation. At low and zero speed, the I/F control mode is employed to achieve quick motor startup with minimized repetition rate, avoiding the overcurrent problem that is easy to occur by traditional V/F control, and the control is switched to the Phase-locked Loop (PLL) adaptive sliding mode observer (SMO) for position estimation at medium and high speed, avoiding the problems of high-frequency jitter and low position accuracy of traditional SMO. The feasibility of this strategy is confirmed by the simulation results of Simulink.
