Abstract
Designing a high-power controller having high efficiency for permanent magnet motors is a challenge for developers in recent times and very few techniques are available. Design and analysis of power electronic drive for a high-power axial flux permanent magnet synchronous motor is presented in this paper. The motor under consideration here is having two outer stators and single permanent magnet rotor to drive the shaft. Control schemes and methodologies are the major concentration for research. Present paper explains a method to estimate the operational drive parameters and loss calculation according the selected power switches. In addition to this, thermal modelling is also important for designing a controller for high power machines. The hardware selection for high current switching operations is very critical for reliable and robust operation. Parts like IGBT module, gate driver, DC link capacitor, snubbers, current sensor sensitivities and estimation of losses are also critical along with control logic and processor. The importance of thermal analysis for high current switching drives is discussed and methodology for thermal analysis of power electronic devices is explained. The current work focuses on hardware level design of high-power drive for 150kW axial flux PMS motor
