An open-end winding permanent magnet synchronous motor (OW-PMSM) fed by dual inverter is a competitive option for the drive system of dual power electric vehicles. It allows manageable power flow between two isolated power sources through the motor without requiring a DC/DC converter. Based on the mathematical model of the OW-PMSM and the principles of power sharing, this paper first compares the power sharing capacity among some existing torque regulation algorithms, including unit power factor (UPF) control, maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) control, and constant back electromotive force (CBE) control. Then a control algorithm named minimum voltage vector amplitude (MVVA) is presented, which features covering the maximum motor operating range and the maximum power sharing range under the linear voltage vector distribution. Simulation results confirm the validity of the proposed MVVA control, and demonstrate its advantages in vehicular applications.
