    Abstract: An electric machine assembly has an electric machine having a stator and a rotor. The rotor has a rotor temperature and is configured to rotate at a rotor speed (ω). The stator has stator windings at a stator winding temperature (tS) and the electric machine defines a number of pole pairs (P). A controller is operatively connected to the electric machine and is configured to receive a torque command (T*). The controller has a processor and tangible, non-transitory memory on which is recorded instructions for executing a method for determining a total permanent magnetic flux (ψT) as a function of the rotor temperature. Execution of the instructions by the processor causes the controller to determine a high-speed magnetic flux factor (ψH) and a low-speed magnetic flux factor (ψL).

    Abstract: An electric machine assembly includes an electric machine having a stator and a rotor. The stator has stator windings at a stator winding temperature (tS) and the rotor is configured to rotate at a rotor speed (ω). A controller is operatively connected to the electric machine and has a processor and tangible, non-transitory memory on which is recorded instructions for executing a method for determining stator winding resistance. The controller is configured to determine a high-speed resistance factor (rH) which is based at least partially on the torque command (T*), the stator winding temperature (tS), the rotor speed (ω), a characterized torque error and the number of pole pairs (P). The controller may determine a total resistance value (R) based on a weighting factor (k), the high-speed resistance factor (rH) and the low-speed resistance factor (rL).

    Abstract: A voltage source inverter controller for controlling an inverter electrically connected to an electric machine includes a current command generator, a six-step flux controller and a current regulator. The six-step flux controller generates a flux modifier to regulate flux in a flux-weakening speed/load operating region of the electric machine when operating the electric machine in a six-step mode. The current command generator converts a desired torque to three-phase desired currents that are input to a dq0-dq transformer and combined with the flux modifier to determine a modified-flux direct-quadrature (dq) current request. The current regulator includes a proportional-integral feedback controller, anti-windup elements, a dq voltage limit element and a voltage magnitude limiter. The proportional-integral feedback controller and the anti-windup elements perform closed-loop current control on the modified-flux dq current request to determine commanded dq voltages.

    Abstract: A method for monitoring an electric motor employing a pulse-type rotational position sensor includes monitoring a signal output from the pulse-type rotational position sensor and a reference signal associated with a control signal for the electric motor. A position of a rotor of the electric motor coincident with the reference signal is determined based upon a nominal rotor position, a nominal rotational speed of the rotor and a time between the reference signal and a falling edge of the signal output from the pulse-type rotational position sensor. The electric motor is controlled based upon the position of the rotor.
