Determining Parameters of a Line-Start Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Model by the Differential Evolution

Abstract

<para xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> The line-starting performance and synchronization capability of a line-start interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (LSIPMSM) has to be evaluated by considering different loads and different values of supply voltages, which requires the usage of a reliable dynamic model. In this work the parameters of a magnetically linear lumped parameter LSIPMSM dynamic model were determined by the differential evolution (DE). The optimization objective was the best possible agreement between the measured and by the model calculated time-behavior of model variables. Parameters determined by the DE are used in the LSIPMSM dynamic model, improving agreement between measured and calculated responses of currents and motor speed. </para>
