Abstract:
A variety of methods, controllers and electric machine systems are described that facilitate pulsed control of electric machines (e.g., electric motors and generators) to improve the machine's energy conversion efficiency. Under selected operating conditions, the electric machine is intermittently driven (pulsed). The pulsed operation causes the output of the electric machine to alternate between a first output level and a second output level that is lower than the first output level. The output levels are selected such that at least one of the electric machine and a system that includes the electric machine has a higher energy conversion efficiency during the pulsed operation than the electric machine would have when operated at a third output level that would be required to drive the electric machine in a continuous manner to deliver the desired output. In some embodiments, the second output level is zero torque.

Claim (Index 20):
A method as recited in  claim 19  wherein the electric machine is selected from the group consisting of:\n a synchronous reluctance machine, \n a permanent magnet synchronous reluctance machine; \n a hybrid permanent magnet synchronous reluctance machine; \n an externally excited AC synchronous machine; and \n a permanent magnet synchronous machine.
