Method for torque control systems and methods based on rotor temperature

An electric motor control system of a vehicle, comprising:

• a current command module configured to, based on a motor torque request for an electric motor of the vehicle, generate a first d-axis current command for the electric motor and a first q-axis current command for the electric motor;
• an adjustment module configured to, based on a speed of a rotor of the electric motor and the motor torque request, selectively determine at least one of a d-axis current adjustment and a q-axis current adjustment based on a temperature of the rotor of the electric motor;
• an adjusting module configured to produce a second d-axis current command for the electric motor by adjusting the first d-axis current command based on the d-axis current adjustment and to produce a second q-axis current command for the electric motor by adjusting the first q-axis current command based on the q-axis current adjustment;
• and
• a switching control module configured to, based on the second d-axis current command and the second q-axis current command, control switching of an inverter module and apply power to stator windings of the electric motor from an energy storage device.
