The electrical motor traction force is usually trans-mitted to wheels via reduction gears in the electrical rail-way traction system. The reduction gears reduce the re-quired traction motor torque and enable down-sizing ofthe traction motor , though they cause noise and necessi-tate maintenance and a complicated truck construction.To solve this problem, the authors have studied a wheelmounted motor which can transmit traction force to wheelswithout using reduction gears1) 2) 3). On the other hand,the direct drive motor tends to become larger in mass andsize because it is required to have more torque than thetraction motor with gears. So we decided to apply a highefficiency permanent magnet synchronous motor to thewheel mounted traction motor and eventually intend toreduce its mass and size. Nobody has ever experiencedpermanent magnet synchronous motor traction for rail-way vehicles and consequently there is a difficult prob-lem to be solved, which is to establish a permanent mag-net synchronous motor control system for railway vehicletraction.

In this paper, first we will discuss an appropriatemain traction circuit system from the viewpoint of powerconversion. Then we will suggest and examine a currentregulation system (ACR) which is capable of high perfor-mance current control even with a much lower performancetraction inverter than an inverter for general use. In ad-dition, we will show that the suggested traction controlsystem is sufficient in practical use through an analysisof operation status under the condition of actual railwayvehicle traction, for instance, parameter changing in thetraction motor as a control object or sudden changes inthe line voltage.

Table 1 shows the candidates for the power conver-sion method and their features, which would be useful forpermanent magnet synchronous motor traction. A cur-rent source inverter4) or cycroconverter5), both of whichconsist of thyristers , are utilized for the synchronousmotor drive before large-scale switching devices, for in-stance GTO or IGBT which turns off by itself, were devel-oped. We currently use GTO or IGBT and the inverterswhich consist of those devices are utilized broadly for in-duction motor drive. As is shown in Table 1, from theviewpoint of down sizing and mass product effect, we con-sider that voltage source inverters (VSI) would suit thePMSM drive for railway vehicle traction.

2.2 Control system study2.2 Control system study2.2 Control system study2.2 Control system study2.2 Control system study

For railway vehicle traction, motor drive system re-quirements are:

- Accurate and rapid torque (de-facto current) control.- Stability for sudden changes in the line voltage andwheel slip/skid.- Easiness to manage the harmonic line current causedby PWM.

On the other hand, there will be two control methodsfor the AC motor drive with VSI, as shown in Fig.1. Oneis the field orientation control with de-coupling compen-sation on the dq coordinate system which synchronizeswith the field flux. The other is a method in which theswitching pattern is decided directly to reduce the errorof current. In the former method, the inverter outputs avoltage vector, which is obtained as a result of current

regulation, by means of sinusoidal and triangle carriercomparison PWM. This control method is easy to designand tune because of the linear control system and facili-tates the estimation of harmonic currents because thePWM control of inverters is basically independent of thecurrent regulation. Although the latter method could besimpler than the former, on the other hand, the PWM isintegrated into the current regulation system and it makesthe estimation of harmonic currents difficult.

Through the study mentioned above, we consequentlyreached a conclusion to adopt the field orientation controlmethod with the feed back current error and feed forwardcompensator.

2.3 Detection of rotor angle2.3 Detection of rotor angle2.3 Detection of rotor angle2.3 Detection of rotor angle2.3 Detection of rotor angle

The field flux direction has to be detected as a ro-tor angle in the field orientation control in PMSM. Forthis purpose, an optical or magnetic encorder and a wind-ing type resolver have been applied. But they don’t suitmounting on railway vehicles for which anti-vibration andall-weather operation is required. To meet the require-ments, we have developed a down-sized VR resolver, whichhas no windings on the rotor. The VR resolver detectsrotor angles by the changes in the reactance between theexciting and output windings according to the rotor angle.

The structure of PMSM control system which is ob-tained through the study mentioned above is shown inFig.2. This is an individual drive system, where eachinverter drives each PMSM, to control PMSM in synchro-nization with the rotor frequency. Therefore, a three-levelIGBT inverter is suitable for the PMSM drive from the

viewpoint of the current capacity of semiconductor devices.The rotor angle which is detected by the VR resolver isconverted into a digital angular signal by the R/D con-verter to be utilized for coordinate transformation be-tween dq coordinates and three phases and for calcula-tion of rotating velocity.

The construction of ACR, which is obtained in chap-ter 2, is shown in Fig. 3. As the eq.(1) indicates, an inter-ference is caused between d axis and q axis by an arma-ture reaction in PMSM.

Eq. (2) expresses that id and iq need to be regulatedindependently, precisely and rapidly without any inter-ference so that Tm is controlled precisely and rapidly. Torealize the independence of the currents, the de-couplingcontrol is performed.

At the inverter for railway vehicle traction, 1-pulsemode, in which a rectangular wave comes at about a halfof each fundamental wave period, is introduced, so thatthe voltage efficiency is improved; switching loss is re-duced and consequently a down-sized drive system isachieved. The digital control period for ACR is longerthan several hundred micro seconds so that both high con-trol performance and low cost are realized.

On the other hand, as shown in Fig.4, most of voltagevector elements consist of de-coupling control components.For this reason, in the de- coupling control with actualcurrent in the 1-pulse mode range, a delay caused by thecurrent calculation and a harmonic current due to the 1-pulse mode may degrade the control performance andsometimes trigger off an unstable phenomenon on thecurrent regulation.

To cope with this problem, we suggest and introduce ade-coupling control method with a current command in-stead of actual currents where a current regulation delayGp(s) is taken into account.

Eq.(5) and eq.(6) indicate that the current control re-sponse is Gp(s), if the compensator GPId(s) and GPIq(s) aredesigned to satisfy eq.(5) and eq.(6). Here Gp(s) is givenas a control specification by the designer. In consider-ation of the convenience in designing a major control loop,which will be mentioned in the next paragraph, and in theanalysis of its characteristics, a torque control systemwould be better as a one-order delay system with a timeconstant Td. If Gp(s) is a one-order delay system with atime constant, compensators on ACR would be PI com-pensators in eq.(7) and eq.(8) which consist of motor con-stants and Td , given by the following formulas.

According to the above discussion, if the ACR is con-structed as shown in Fig.3, the current control responsecan be one order delayed with a time constant Td , evenwhen an inverter with long control period is used and acurrent with much harmonics drives the motor.

The current control response should be decided in con-sideration of the following major control system charac-teristics.

(a) Slip and re-adhesion control loop(b) Regenerating brake control under a light consum-ing load condition.(c) Depressing instability at sudden line voltagechanges.

Because the response time constant for the above (a)and (b) is about several hundred miliseconds, 10ms areenough for Td even in consideration of the above (c).

On the other hand, when Td gets smaller, we have topay attention to the following.

(a) Switching frequency for PWM.(b) Control operating period(c) A voltage margin for current control in the weaken-ing flux control range.

Because of (a) and (b) among the restrictions, Td needsto be longer than a few mili seconds. In addition, Td mustbe longer than 8 ms to secure a voltage margin for currentcontrol under the condition of DC 1500 V inverter voltage.

In consideration of the above required control perfor-mance and restrictions, Td =10ms is appropriate for de-signing the time constant for ACR.

ACR shown in Fig. 3 includes rm, Ld and Lq at respec-tive gains. On the other hand, motor constants havechanged by its temperature or flux. Thus it is necessaryto study the effect of ACR for different parameter values.A roots (p1~p6) and zeros (z1~z5) locus of ACR system isshown in Fig.5 in the case where rm changes between 0.5and 1.5 time the nominal rm. At the nominal condition, allpoles except the pole 0.01+j0.0 which expresses one-orderdelay response with Td=10ms overlap zeros and one orderdelay response on ACR is realized by a zero pole cancella-tion. When rm changes, zeros move and can’t depress poles,which consequently cause a reduction of control perfor-mance in ACR. However, as is shown by Fig. 5, the changeof rm barely affects the current control response.

Fig. 6 shows roots and zeros locus of ACR system inthe case where Ld and Lq change between 0.5 and 1.5 timesthe nominal Ld and Lq. According to this result, the induc-tance changes due to magnetic saturation highly influ-ence the current control because the values of inductanceare used for de-coupling control. To cope with this prob-lem, we can apply a method to compensate the valuesused for controller according to the motor current.

Fig. 7 shows the root locus of the drive system includ-ing the controller for line voltage sudden change while thetrain speed is increased to 150km/h. In any speed range,all poles are on the left side of the imaginary axis on thecomplex plane. This means that the suggested controlsystem can depress the unstable behavior without mak-ing the main traction circuit unstable even in case theline voltage suddenly changes.

In addition to the above mentioned test results, wechecked whether the field flux e.m.f can be depressed bythe feed forward compensation even in the range of 1´-pulse mode.

From the above mentioned results we verified thesuggested control system and the designing method.

To verify the actual vehicle drive characteristics, twoPMSMs for one bogie are equipped on 3-car test vehiclesand a running test is performed at speeds up to 80km/hunder DC 1500V feeding condition. 70kW outer roter typePMSMs are used on the test bogie and a DC motor are onthe other traction bogies.

In addition to the test result mentioned above, testswere performed, including a light consumption load re-generative brake control test and a starting test in thebackward moving condition for some functions specifiedto railway vehicle traction, and we obtained satisfactorytest results.

the above discussions has appropriate performance forrailway vehicle traction. A summary of the results of thisstudy is as follows.

(1) It is clear that the vector control with a voltagesource inverter has various advantages as a railwayvehicle drive system of permanent magnet synchronousmotor.(2) We suggested ACR with de-coupling compensatorwhich consists of current commands and one-order de-lay element, and a designing method to apply it to ve-hicle traction.(3) We analyzed the influence of the suggested controlsystem for different parameter values and line voltagesudden changes and analyzed its characteristics.(4) We made practical tests of the suggested system ona test plant and on an actual vehicle to verify that thesuggested system performed as designed.
