common (such as stator-flux-oriented- or magnetizing-flux-oriented-). Each has various<br />

advantages and disadvantages but they are primarily used for machines other than the BPMS<br />

type. Useful references that discuss FOC of both the synchronous and induction motors include<br />

[78], [77], [87].<br />

Field-Weakening and Salient Machines<br />

For the most efficient production of torque in a nonsalient machine the stator current SV should<br />

be completely aligned with the q axis and this is accomplished simply by controlling the dcomponent<br />

to be zero. Clearly, if the d-component is nonzero the result is a space vector in the<br />

rotor frame that is not aligned with the q axis. In motor control, using a nonzero d-component<br />

may be more appropriately called “field angle control” [78, p.203] but oftentimes it is still called<br />

FOC. Field angle control can be used to control terminal power factor; this is required in high<br />

power ratings when a load-commutated inverter is used [78, p.212] (as opposed to the hardswitched<br />

inverters considered here). Angle control can also be used to optimize some parameter<br />

(such as the minimization of copper loss, which is essentially the power factor control mentioned<br />

earlier). In BPMS motor drives there are two common reasons to use a non-zero d-component of<br />

stator current: to control torque in a salient machine or to implement something akin to field<br />

(flux) weakening. This report does not concern either topic but both will be mentioned because<br />

they highlight some of the more subtle concepts of FOC. These topics are interrelated and the<br />

author does not possess a working knowledge of them; they are presented here in an effort to aid<br />

the reader in understanding just the very basic ideas. At the end of this subsection some further<br />

technicalities are mentioned, along with some references for further study.<br />

Salient Machines<br />

In Chapter 3 the torque was found to be given by Equation (3.160).<br />

The regular expressions for the dq components of the stator flux linkage, Equation (5.8), were<br />

substituted in and the result simplified to Equation (5.9) as expected.<br />
