During the last years, different methods for identifying permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) parameters have been developed. Such allow a better characterization of PMSMs, thus enabling control. This article presents novel PMSM parameter estimation method based on differential power factor due to harmonic distortion, which allows identification from data acquisitions representing entire torque-speed range. does not require measuring any geometric parameters, avoiding disassembly, or...

This paper analyzes partial demagnetization faults in a five-phase permanent magnet assisted synchronous reluctance motor (fPMa-SynRM) incorporating ferrite magnets (PMs). These are relevant because of the application field weakening, or due to high operating temperatures short circuit currents, PMs can become irreversibly demagnetized, thus affecting performance and safe operation machine. proposes fault indicators detect such modes with low levels between 5.0% 16.7% relative...
