Unity power factor control of permanent magnet synchronous motor by using open winding configuration

Abstract

This paper presents the performance of vector modulation technology in the open-winding permanent magnet synchronous motor (OW-PMSM) considering the unity power factor control. And a topology structure is proposed to optimize the fault tolerance of inverter. Matlab software and Maxwell software collaborative simulation are supplied to obtain the reactive power, speed, terminal voltage, electromagnetic torque etc. under normal and fault status. Finally, the simulation results of an open-winding permanent magnet synchronous motor are verified by the experimental results.
