In my Speed Control model using FOC to run a IPMSM motor, my output torque fluctuates by 1N-m. How do I solve this error?

Dear Mathworks community,

I am working on a speed control model, using FOC, I plan to run the IPMSM motor at to meet a certain RPM and torque target. While my speed meets it's target, Torque target is also met but it keeps fluctuating up and down.

Target speed - 500 rpm and target torque - 60 Nm.

I am using the default 3-phase converter with 'Switching Device' set to MOSFET, PWM generator is set to 'Space Vector Modulation'. Output from 'ModWave Scope' does not show 'SVM' waveform. Where am I going wrong? Any help on this is very much appreciated!!

Thanks in advance!

Hi aditya,

It appears that either Iq current loop controller, and perhaps Id current loop controller too, aren't tuned properly.

These are inside the torque controller subsystem.

Seems like an issue with plant model sample timings.

I guess the control loops are operating at a different sample time than your expectaction.

Would it be possible for you to confirm control loop sample time ?

You can do this by going to debug menu --> Information Overlays --> Sample Time --> Colors

Going from your response earlier, let me summarize the sample timings:

Switching frequency: 1e4 = 10e3,
Outer loop sample time: 1e-4 = 100e-6,
PWM generator sample time: 1e-6,
Inner loop sample time: 1e-5 = 10e-6.

You're trying to execute inner loop 10 times before the PWM update time, which is 100e-6 for 10kHz frequency. This way, the dutycycle would change during PWM generation, which is not desired. Ideally, dutycycle changes only once per PWM switching cycle.

Anyway, here is an example of different sample timings for the system:

%% Set PWM Switching frequency

PWM_frequency = 10e3; %Hz // converter s/w freq

T_pwm = 1/PWM_frequency; %s // PWM switching time period

%% Set Sample Times

Ts = T_pwm; %sec // Sample time for control system

Ts_motor = T_pwm/2; %sec // Simulation time step for average value inverter

Ts_inverter = T_pwm/2; %sec // Simulation time step for average value inverter

Ts_speed = 10*Ts; %sec // Sample time for speed controller

Ts_motor_simscape = T_pwm/100; %sec // Simulation time step for simscape based PWM inverter

Also, try using local solver in SimScape solver configuration block and specify PWM generator sample time there. The rate transition between various sample times should be handled via subsystems modelling various sensors. You may use this example to understand this better.

hi aditya,

It's fine. We all are learning all the time. Anyway, all of the answers that you're looking for are in the example model mentioned earlier. To be specific, here are the responses:

What blocks come under control loop sample time?

A: Algorithms (e.g. Field Oriented Control in this case) designed in the model would typically come under control loop sample time. There is no hard rule, and you can have multiple sample time within the algorithm. (e.g. Ts_speed = 100e-6; Ts_mtpa = 100e-6; What I find incorrect is, Ts_innerLoop = 10e-6 for T_pwm = 100e-6. My assuption is based on a guess that you're using PI controllers for Id and Iq loop. I may be wrong as I haven't had a detailed look at your model.

where can I add 'Ts' i.e. sample time for control system in my model?

In all of the blocks that define control algorithm.

In a similar sense, where can I add sample time for 'Ts_motor' ?

In the plant models, if you're using average inverater. If you're using PWM switching, use the 1e-6 sample time. This can be defined directly in solver configuration block while using simscape.

If you wish us to have a details look at the model, please contact us and we have a team who would be glad to help you out. Ask them to connect with me & we can set up a meeting and speed up the whole debugging process.

Hope this helps.

Have a good day.

Dear Mr. Pandit,

I have raised a service request, I do not know where excatly I am going wrong, On the service request, I have mentioned them to get in touch with you and set up a meeting depending on your availability.

In the meantime I will keep trying to solve this and try to understand the example that you had shared.

Thank you again for your inputs on this. Looking forward to talking to you soon!

Dear Mr. Pandit,

I have a very quick question for you if that's alright.

I have a torque control model with a delta wound motor. I am using the 'MTPA Reference' block and 'IPMSM Control Reference' block for reference Id and Iq generation. The Id and Iq reference values generated by the blocks are not on the MTPA curve except the first operating point!. The Ld, Lq and flux that I use in the blocks are from electromagnetics software designed for Delta motor. These blocks work perfectly for me when I use them for other star connected motor in torque control.

Can you give me a bit of clarity as to why this does not work for Delta wound motor?

Thank you so much for all the support!!
