Description

The Induction Machine Field-Oriented Controller block implements an induction machine field-oriented control (FOC) structure using the per-unit system. To decouple the torque and flux, FOC uses the rotor d-q reference frame. The figure shows the control structure.

In the diagram:

  • ωr is the measured angular velocity.

  • ωref is the reference angular velocity.

  • id and iq are the d- and q-axis stator currents.

  • ia, ib, and ic are the a-, b- and c-phase stator winding currents.

  • imr_ref is the reference magnetizing current.

  • imr is the magnetizing current.

  • vd and vq are the d- and q-axis stator voltages.

  • va, vb, and vc are the a-, b- and c-phase stator winding voltages.

  • θe is the rotor electrical angle.

  • GAH, GAL, GBH, GBL, GCH, and GCL are the a-, b- and c-phase high (H) and low(L) gate pulses.

Assumptions and Limitations

  • The machine parameters are known.

  • The implementation uses the per-unit system.

  • The control structure implementation uses a single sample rate.

Examples

Electric Engine Dyno

Electric Engine Dyno

Model an electric vehicle dynamometer test. The test environment contains an asynchronous machine (ASM) and an interior permanent magnet synchronous machine (IPMSM) connected back-to-back through a mechanical shaft. Both machines are fed by high-voltage batteries through controlled three-phase converters. The 164 kW ASM produces the load torque. The 35 kW IPMSM is the electric machine under test. The Control Machine Under Test (IPMSM) subsystem controls the torque of the IPMSM. The controller includes a multi-rate PI-based control structure. The rate of the open-loop torque control is slower than the rate of the closed-loop current control. The task scheduling for the controller is implemented as a Stateflow® state machine. The Control Load Machine (ASM) subsystem uses a single rate to control the speed of the ASM. The Visualization subsystem contains scopes that allow you to see the simulation results.
