I. I NTRODUCTION
Loss modeling and control of high performance motor drive
system has attracted significant research attention [1][4]. The
reduced system losses not only can be translated to higher
efficiency and lowered operating cost, but also can reduce
the thermal stress on various components or sub-systems and
in return will improve the reliability of overall system. The
reduction of life-cycle cost due to the improved reliability is
of great practical significance in many of the cost-sensitive
applications of the electric drive systems.
The efficiency and power density of permanent magnet
synchronous machines (PMSMs) have been studied by several
authors [2], [4][6]. It has been shown that PMSM can
achieve significantly higher efficiencies than induction motors
when used in adjustable speed drives. Analytical method
for estimating the fundamental losses of surface mounted
PMSM has been proposed in [5]. Several researchers have
utilized electrical model of PMSM that includes a parallel
resistance that accounts for core losses in high performance
applications [2], [4]. It can be concluded that both copper and
core losses need to be accounted for in the analysis and control
of high performance motor drives. The core losses are due to
both the fundamental and harmonics excitations.
The existing optimization methods of the drive system
is focused on the fundamental losses of electric machines.
The inverter losses are often not counted in the optimization

A plot of the switching loss for a range of switching frequencies is shown in Fig. 1. It is clear that the switching loss is
proportional to switching frequency and maintains constant for
a given load current and switching frequency. The conduction
loss depends on load displacement angle, modulation index
and load current. Fig. 2 illustrates the variations of the conduction losses with the load displacement angle under different
loading conditions. The plot of conduction loss equation shows
that the loss is maximized when the displacement angle is zero
and decreases as the displacement angle increases or decreases
from zero. In field oriented control of variable speed drive

The motor harmonics loss, VSI loss and the total loss versus
switching frequency are shown in Fig. 9. The results show
that the PMSM harmonics loss decreases as the switching
frequency increases. Nevertheless, the VSI losses increase as
the switching frequency increase. The summation of the above
two losses show that the curve is convex and has global
minimum loss value at the switching frequency of 19 kHz.
However the specific optimal switching frequency will depend
on particular set of design parameters of the VSI. In other
words, when the parameters of the VSI such that the loss of
VSI higher than the motor harmonics loss at the same range
of switching frequency, the curve will be no more convex and
almost will be linear.
Fig. 10 shows the relationship between PMSM harmonic
loss and modulation index. It can be seen that up to M = 0.73
