Simulation-Centric Examples

Uses Motor Control Blockset™ to show how to use the PMSM characteristic plotting and PMSM milestone speed identification functions to obtain a control trajectory.

Uses Motor Control Blockset™ to explain the fundamentals of constraint curves, utilization of these curves to determine operating currents, and usage of the grid of these currents in simulation or deployment environments.

Uses Motor Control Blockset™ to utilize the motor constraint curves to determine the operating currents and use lookup tables of these currents in simulation or deployment environments. The example uses the PMSM constraint curves described in the PMSM Drive Characteristics and Constraint Curves page.

Uses a lookup table (LUT) for a nonlinear permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) and controller to run the motor using field-weakening control (with maximum torque per ampere (MTPA)). Use this example to replicate and run a finite element analysis (FEA) based nonlinear, high-fidelity PMSM in simulation. This example helps motor design engineers to simulate high-performance motors in real-world motor control applications. In addition, control system engineers can use this example to design control algorithms for a given set of motor parameter data to achieve high levels of accuracy in tracking and controlling speed and torque as well as to meet efficiency requirements, especially for high-performance motors.

Uses a lookup table (LUT) for a nonlinear synchronous reluctance motor and controller to run the motor using field-weakening control (with maximum torque per ampere (MTPA)). Use this example to replicate and run a finite element analysis (FEA) based nonlinear, high-fidelity synchronous reluctance motor in simulation. This example helps motor design engineers to simulate high-performance motors in real-world motor control applications. In addition, control system engineers can use this example to design control algorithms for a given set of motor parameter data to achieve high levels of accuracy in tracking and controlling speed and torque as well as to meet efficiency requirements, especially for high-performance motors.

Uses sensorless techniques such as pulsating high-frequency injection and extended EMF observer to estimate and track motor position to simulate interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) operation using field-weakening control (FWC).

Use the control design method of reinforcement learning to implement field-oriented control (FOC) of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The example uses FOC principles. However, it uses the reinforcement learning (RL) agent instead of the PI controllers. For more details about FOC, see Field-Oriented Control (FOC).

Calculates the inverter power loss and total harmonic distortion (THD) in motor current for different pulse-width modulation (PWM) methods. The example uses field-oriented control (FOC) algorithm that runs a permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) in speed control mode as a reference. The example only supports simulation.

Uses the Polyspace® static code analysis tools to analyze and verify Simulink® models containing motor control algorithms. Static code analysis is a software verification technique that analyzes source code for quality, reliability, and security without executing the code. This approach uses robust error detection routines (that include checks for critical run-time errors) to identify bugs and defects and in addition ensures compliance with common coding standards. It provides a cost-effective alternative to measure and track the software quality metrics and eliminates the need to instrument the code or to write elaborate unit test cases.
