characterized by constant maximum power at any speed; this is accomplished via field current<br />

control. These regions are shown in Figure 5.20, where plots of maximum torque, armature<br />

current, field current, mechanical power, terminal voltage, and bEMF are shown. It is stressed<br />

that these are the maximum values and that only the shape of the plots is to be considered; in<br />

addition, the multiple variables assigned to each curve are not numerically equal.<br />

“Field weakening” can be performed with the wound-field synchronous machine although it is<br />

not always called this name or used in the same way. In a motor the field current could be<br />

decreased to achieve constant power operation above base speed as explained above; in a grid<br />

generator or synchronous condenser it can be used to control the power factor. But in a BPMS<br />

motor, the field flux is due to the magnets instead of a controllable coil thus if the flux is to be<br />

weakened it must be accomplished via stator current; field weakening operation is therefore more<br />

complicated. Assuming rotor flux and stator flux are cosinusoidally distributed their airgap<br />

resultant could be resolved onto the dq axes as before. From the discussion of Figure 5.17 (and<br />

assuming a nonsalient machine) the q-component of current has been thought of as the torqueproducing<br />

component (acting in quadrature to the rotor flux or rotor-stator flux linkage, as shown<br />

in Figure 5.7). Now, if the current SV is forced to be greater than 90° ahead of the d axis it will<br />

have a negative d-component. To the extent that the stator MMF creates flux in the airgap, this<br />

negative d-component ( Sd ) would subtract from the rotor’s flux (which is entirely along the d<br />

axis, Rd R ), yielding a lower value of airgap flux along the d axis ( d ), as shown in Figure<br />

5.21.<br />
