AI Summary
This project analyzes various vector control methods for AC machines, including three-phase hysteresis control, stationary-frame PI control, and synchronous-frame PI control, presenting their block diagrams, merits, and demerits. It then delves into the mathematical modeling of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine (PMSM) in synchronous coordinates, deriving per-unit parameters based on given machine specifications. The solution includes detailed calculations for base values, per-unit values, and the dynamic model of the PMSM in a synchronous (dq) frame. Furthermore, the project covers the electromagnetic torque equation and provides block diagrams for the dynamic model, along with discussions on decoupling, Simulink implementation, internal model approach, and closed-loop speed control. Finally, it includes a Simulink model demonstration.

Question 2
A permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine (PMSM) needs to be controlled using a vector control
scheme in synchronous coordinates. The first step in the process is to derive a mathematical model of
the machine. This needs to be developed in synchronous coordinates. The machine parameters are
given in the table below.

Use the following primary base values
Voltage (Ubase): The peak value of the per-phase induced emf of the machine at rated speed (induced line
to line rms emf at 1000rpm is 42 V)
Ubase = 2 U3000rpm ,ll

Current base (Ibase): The peak value of the rated current (16.3 A rms)
I base= 2 X 163=23.1 A

a. Show all your calculations and complete the table below which shows all others base values
required to derive the per unit dynamic model for PMSM
Solution
Parameter Base value
Flux 73.92mWb
Impedance 4.469Ω
Inductance 0.755mH
Mechanical angular speed 314.16 r/s
Power 2379.3W
Torque 7.574N-m
Inertia 2.555 x 10-5 kgm2
Damping constant 0.3335 Nm/(rads/s)
Flux = Inductance X current; 3.2 X 10-3 X 23.1 = 73.92 X 10-3
Impedance = v/I = 103/23.1 = 4.469Ω
Inductance = XL = 2πFL = 4.469/ (2π x 942) = 0.755mH
Mechanical angular speed = (2π X 3000)/60 = 314.16 rads/s
Power = VI = 23.1 x 103 = 2379.3W
Document Page
Torque = power/angular speed = 2379.3/314.16 = 7.574N-m
Acceleration = ω/t = (314.16 x 105)/106 = 2.964 x 105. Inertia = torque/acceleration =
7.574/2.964 = 2.555 x 10-5N
Damping ratio shall be = mechanical angular speed/ Electrical angular speed= 314.16/942 =
0.3335
b. Sow all per unit calculations and complete the table below which shows all per unit machine
parameters required to build the vector control scheme for the PMSM
Parameter Actual value per-unit value
Ld 1.6mH 2.12mH
Lq (Assumed to be 5% higher than Ld) 1.68mH 2.12mH
Rs 0.1663Ω 0.0372Ω
ψm 0.109Wb 1.475Wb
Total inertia 4.209 X 10-3 kgm2 164.74kgm2
Damping 0.00456Nm/(rads/s)
0.01369 Nm/(rads/s)
Per unit value = actual value/ base value
Inductance = 1.6/0.755 = 2.119mH
0.755 x 1.05 = 0.79275,
Lq= 1.68/0.79275 = 2.119mH
Rs = 0.1663/4.469 = 0.0372Ω
ψm = (0.109 x 103)/73.92 = 1.475Wb
Inertia = (4.209 x 10-3)/(2.555 x 10-5) = 164.74kgm2
Damping = 0.00456/0.333 = 0.01369 Nm/(rads/s)
Question 3
a. Deriving the dynamic model of the PMSM in a synchronous frame (dq frame)
PMSMs is usually used for industrial drives and are normally controlled via closed-loop. The
three phase PMSM is changed to a d – q – 0 frame reference. A complete balanced voltage
equation that are in the reference frame of d-q, are as follows:
ud =Rid + ψd
id
did
dt + ψd
iq
diq
dt + ψ
θ

dt ψq

d ..(1)
uq =Riq + ψq
iq
diq
dt + ψq
id
did
dt + ψ
θ

dt ψd

d ..(2)
Where ψd and ψq are flux linkages of the direct and quadrature-axis flux linkages respectively.
Therefore, the flux linkages associated with the permanent magnet, id and iq are the references
frame currents of d – q, R is the resistance from the stator, θ is the position of the rotor with
respect to the stator. The equation for the rotation can be added and the one describing the
subsystem of mechanical is:
J d2 θ
d t2 = p T em

Where, J is the inertia of the rotor, Tl and Ttrw are the frictional torque and load torque, Tem is the
