Book excerpt: The drive to develop electric machines with a wide constant power-speed range (CPSR), high torque capabilities, excellent efficiency, superior reliability, and a reduced environmental footprint for EV traction and ship propulsion systems has led to research interest in various Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM). One particular area of interest is multi-phase fault tolerant PMSM drive systems, which are integral to the development of electric traction systems with all-inclusive motors that include sensors, inverter modules, and a cooling system, much like an automobile engine. Furthermore, these designs simplify fault condition maintenance because their independent single-phase structure allows them to be used with replaceable modular inverter units which have one H-bridge for each phase. In order to provide high reliability for the PMSM drive systems, even in a fault condition, simple but effective current control methods are necessary. An interior PMSM configuration with 5 independent phases is presented for electric vehicle (EV) traction and ship propulsion applications along with the proposed design procedure as well as an associated inverter design and current control methods. The proposed design process is verified using finite element analysis (FEA). An existing 5-phase 15-slot 4-pole Interior PMSM was modified to remove the neutral point, thus allowing for independent control of the 5 phases with 5 H-bridge inverters through a fabricated custom-made control board. Bipolar and unipolar switching methods were evaluated and an effective switching method was proposed to drive the motor. Closed loop speed control was implemented using Step VSI control, SPWM control, and hysteresis control methods. Finally, the 5-phase 10-lead PMSM systems were evaluated under the various control methods using simulated and experimental data after fabricating a new inverter interface board with TI floating point DSP, Delfino (F28335). The results suggest that multi-phase fault tolerant PMSM drive systems could play a key role in the future of EV traction and ship propulsion systems.
