2. Consider Figure 1 below of surface type trapezoidal permanent magnet motor (Brushless DC motor). Let
the rotor position angle be 150 degrees from phase-a stator winding axis (=1500). The rotor is to rotate
counter clockwise direction considering current to the motor positive and current out of the motor to be
negative (The three phases Current as indicated in the figure are all positive).

Where Ld and Lq are d-axis and q-axis inductance, id and iq are d-axis and q-axis currents, m is flux
linkage due to permanent magnet.
a. Such motors are sometimes controlled for maximum torque per unit stator current. Formulate
mathematical expression for the maximum torque per stator current.
b. It is also possible to control with d-axis stator current zero in which the stator q-axis current is
proportional to torque. Draw possible block diagram for speed and current vector control of the
machine with id=0 control.
c. Compare and contrast the two types of control, namely maximum torque per unit current and stator d-
axis current zero control.

d. Interior permanent magnets are also known for their wide speed range operation by implementing field
