The PMSM block implements a twelve-phase Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (12-Ph PMSM) model with resolvers and encoders.

Equations & Characteristics

General PMSM Solver Equation

The equation of the PMSM model can be expressed as follows:

LaTeX Math Block

where Labcdefuvwxyz is the time-varying inductance matrix (global inductance for DQ0 and VDQ models), Iabcdefuvwxyz is the stator current inside the winding, R is the stator resistance, Vabcdefuvwxyz is the voltage across the stator windings and ψabcdefuvwxyz defines the magnet flux linked into the stator windings.

The solver computes the outputs in phase domain, using phase domain states. The integration type used is Backward Euler.

Standard DQ0 Motor Characteristics

Under normal conditions, the ideal sinusoidal stator voltages of the PMSM, back-EMFs, and inductances all have sinusoidal shapes. One can transform the equation using the Park transformation with a referential locked on the rotor position θ using the following two equations:

and

The Park transform (also called ‘DQ’ transform) reduces sinusoidal varying quantities of inductances, flux, current, and voltage to constant values in the D-Q frame thus greatly facilitating the analysis and control of the device under study.

It is important to note that there are many different types of Park transforms and this often leads to confusion when interpreting the motor states inside the D-Q frame. The one used here presents the advantage of being amplitude-invariant which means that the peak amplitude of the signals in the D-Q frame by performing a transformation will be numerically equal to the one computed in the phase domain.

The corresponding equations in the DQ0 domain, for representation, are:

All zero sequence inductances have a value of 1e15.

With this transform (and only this transform) the PMSM torque can be expressed by the following equation, where pp is the number of pole pairs.

and ua is the unit vector template of the BackEMF profile and

is the flux linkage constant of the Winding Set.

The synchronous component of Torque includes impact due to Zero Sequence Current.

i=1,2,34 , are ideally the same but provided separately.

Figure 1 explains the principle of the Park transform. Considering fixed ABC referential with all quantities ( Vbemf, motor current I) rotating at the electric frequency ω, if we observe these quantities in a D-Q frame turning at the same speed we can see that the motor quantities will be constant.

This is easy to see for the Back-EMF voltage Vbemf  that directly follows the Q-axis (because the magnet flux is on the D-axis by definition). In Figure 1, I leads the Q-axis by an angle called β (beta). The modulus of the vector I is called Iamp. In the figure below, θ is the rotor angle, aligned with the D-axis.

The above figure is for D1Q1 reference frame, the D2Q2 reference frame has a phase shift of

, which is the phase shift between the winding sets. Every corresponding reference frame is phase shifted by
