OLTEM: Lumped Thermal and Deep Neural Model for PMSM Temperature
This paper introduces OLTEM, a novel physics-informed deep learning model for predicting permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) temperatures in real-time. It combines the interpretable Lumped-Parameter Thermal Network (LPTN) with a Thermal Neural Network (TNN) architecture, enhanced by a state-conditioned Squeeze-and-Excitation (SC-SE) attention mechanism and an improved power loss estimation module. OLTEM demonstrates superior accuracy and robustness in tracking thermal transients compared to existing models, crucial for motor reliability and efficiency.

Impact of SC-SE Attention
The SC-SE attention mechanism dynamically adjusts feature importance based on the motor's current thermal state, addressing a key limitation in standard attention approaches by incorporating temperature dependency. This ensures more accurate modeling of thermal paths and power loss features, leading to significantly improved prediction during rapid thermal changes. Without SC-SE, the model shows more significant lag and deviation.
This innovative approach demonstrates the value of physics-guided attention in achieving robust and precise thermal management for critical industrial applications.
