US Patent 12028004 Rotating electrical machine

A stator of a rotating electrical machine has a slot-less structure. The rotating electrical machine includes a controller. The controller determines a value of a q-axis command current in accordance with requirement information and an input command value for a controlled variable of the rotating electrical machine. The requirement information includes a relationship between values of the q-axis command current and corresponding command values for the controlled variable. The controller performs a task of correcting the value of the q-axis command current to thereby restrict temperature change in a magnet unit from having an influence on the relationship between the command values for the controlled variable and the corresponding values of the q-axis command current. The controller controls an inverter to thereby adjust a value of the q-axis current flowing through an armature winding member to the corrected value of the q-axis command current.
