Global Attention-based Encoder-Decoder LSTM Model for Temperature Prediction of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors

Jun Li, Thangarajah Akilan

Temperature monitoring is critical for electrical motors to determine if device protection measures should be executed. However, the complexity of the internal structure of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) makes the direct temperature measurement of the internal components difficult. This work pragmatically develops three deep learning models to estimate the PMSMs' internal temperature based on readily measurable external quantities. The proposed supervised learning models exploit Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) modules, bidirectional LSTM, and attention mechanism to form encoder-decoder structures to predict simultaneously the temperatures of the stator winding, tooth, yoke, and permanent magnet. Experiments were conducted in an exhaustive manner on a benchmark dataset to verify the proposed models' performances. The comparative analysis shows that the proposed global attention-based encoder-decoder (EnDec) model provides a competitive overall performance of 1.72 Mean Squared Error (MSE) and 5.34 Mean Absolute Error (MAE).
