Performance Analysis of Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Drives Using Advanced Control Strategies

Abstract

Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (IPMSMs) have become the preferred choice for Electric Vehicle (EV) propulsion and high-performance industrial drive systems due to their high torque density, efficiency, and capability to operate in a wide constant-power speed range. This paper presents a comprehensive journal-style review and analysis of IPMSM performance enhancement using modern control strategies, combining insights from two detailed documents: a comparative literature review table and a technical review paper. Mathematical modeling of the IPMSM, sensorless pole-position detection mechanisms, maximum torque per ampere (MTPA), field weakening (FW), predictive control, fuzzy logic, neural network-based controllers, model reference adaptive control (MRAC), and flux-weakening optimization are discussed in detail. The results of existing studies are summarized, highlighting the improvements in torque ripple reduction, speed response, efficiency, and robustness against parameter variations. This integrated review serves as a consolidated reference for researchers developing next-generation IPMSM controllers for EV applications.
