For a PMSM BLDC model configured to use the PMSM Variable Ld/Lq machine type, a JSON file is required to define the machine characteristics. The file must contain the following information:
Parameter (JSON key) | Value type | Unit | Description | Example |
---|---|---|---|---|
PolePairs | int | Number of pole pairs of the machine. | "PolePairs": 2 | |
DqTransformAngleOffset | double | degree | Angle offset applied to the abc to dq Transform, before Id and Iq are referenced to look up Ld, Lq, and Fm. A value of 0 indicates that the direct axis is aligned with Phase A when the rotor angle θ=0. In other words, the active power reaches a maximum when Id is at a maximum. This is the default behavior. For more information, see the Reference Frame Transformation description. | "DqTransformAngleOffset": 0 |
Ra | double | Ohm | Phase A Resistance of the machine | "Ra": 0.04 |
Rb | double | Ohm | Phase B Resistance of the machine | "Rb": 0.04 |
Rc | double | Ohm | Phase C Resistance of the machine | "Rc": 0.04 |
Id_axis | double[] | A | One dimensional array of the current values along the direct axis of the stator. This array must be the same size as Iq_axis, it can contain up to 128 values, and they must be arranged in ascending order. | "Id_axis": [ -50.0, 0.0, 50.0 ], |
Iq_axis | double[] | A | One dimensional array of the current values along the quadratic axis of the stator. This array must be the same size as Id_axis, it can contain up to 128 values, and they must be arranged in ascending order. | "Iq_axis": [ -50.0, 0.0, 50.0 ], |
Ld | double[][] | H | Two dimensional array of the direct-axis inductance values. The size of this array must be n x n, where n is equal to the number of current values in Id_axis and Iq_axis. Figure 1 below describes how the inductance values are mapped from the JSON file array to the Ld table. | "Ld": [ [ 0.0004, 0.00042, 0.00041 ], [ 0.00041, 0.00044, 0.00043 ], [ 0.0004, 0.00042, 0.000425 ] ], |
Lq | double[][] | H | Two dimensional array of the quadratic-axis inductance values. The size of this array must be n x n, where n is equal to the number of current values in Id_axis and Iq_axis. Figure 1 below describes how the inductance values are mapped from the JSON file array to the Lq table. | "Lq": [ [ 0.0004, 0.00042, 0.00041 ], [ 0.00041, 0.00044, 0.00043 ], [ 0.0004, 0.00042, 0.000425 ] ], |
Fm | double[][] | Wb | Two dimensional array of the Permanent Magnet Flux Linkage values. The size of this array must be n x n, where n is equal to the number of current values in Id_axis and Iq_axis. Figure 1 below describes how the inductance values are mapped from the JSON file array to the Permanent Magnet Flux Linkage table. | "Fm": [ [ 0.1, 0.1, 0.1 ], [ 0.1, 0.1, 0.1 ], [ 0.1, 0.1, 0.1 ] ] |
