Abstract A signal injection method without torque ripple is presented to estimate the stator winding temperature of a surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM), where the temperature is estimated based on the stator resistance. First, the current signal (Δid*) is injected into the current control loop to produce DC current offsets used to calculate the stator resistance, where the injected signal cannot lead to extra torque ripple. Then the temperature can be obtained based on the relationship between the stator winding temperature and the stator resistance. Finally, the proposed method is validated by simulation and experimental results. In addition, no extra equipment is needed for the proposed method.

1 Introduction In recent years, the permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) has become popular owing to its advantages of high power density and high efficiency [1–3]. However, the operation reliability of a PMSM is related to its internal temperature. When the internal temperature exceeds its limited value, degradation of the stator winding insulation accelerates, which results in a great deal of harm to the electrical machine [4]. Hence, it is important to estimate the stator winding temperature of a PMSM to monitor and predict its condition, which prevents the PMSM overheating. A considerable amount of research has been published on the temperature estimation of PMSMs. These studies can be roughly divided into three kinds of thermal monitoring * Jun Hang [email protected] 1

methods, namely direct measurement methods, parameterbased methods and thermal-model-based methods [5]. Direct measurement methods are based on the embedded sensors. These methods have high accuracy. However, these methods require extra equipment and increase the overall system cost. The temperature is estimated by an equivalent thermal circuit for thermal-model-based methods [6–9]. Nevertheless, these methods are quite complicated and cannot be used for different electric machines. The stator temperature is calculated based on the stator resistance for parameter-based methods [10], where the stator resistance is estimated based on the electric model of the machine. However, variations of th
