1. A method of advancing phase of a DQ reference frame in a Field Oriented Control (FOC) algorithm for a permanent magnet motor, the method comprising:
monitoring a component of a stator voltage demand of the permanent magnet motor, wherein the component comprises one or more components of a Park transformation;
either (i) calculating a phase advance angle based on a gain multiplied by a difference between the component of the stator voltage demand and the threshold of the component if the component of the stator voltage demand exceeds a threshold of the component or (ii) setting the phase advance angle to zero if the component of the stator voltage demand is within the threshold of the component; and
advancing the phase of the DQ reference frame in the FOC algorithm based on the phase advance angle either (i) up to a maximum phase advance angle when motor speed is positive or (ii) down to a minimum phase advance angle when the motor speed is negative;
wherein the motor speed is positive based on one of a clockwise rotation or an anticlockwise rotation of a motor current vector and a motor voltage vector about a Q-axis and negative based on another of the clockwise rotation or the anticlockwise rotation of the motor current vector and the motor voltage vector about the Q-axis.
