Day 1 of 1
Electric Machine Operating Principles
Objective: Introduce electromechanical energy conversion principles and their applications towards electric machines.
- Overview of electric motors
- Electric machine operating principles
- Clarke and Park transform
- Motor control development workflow
Three-Phase Brushless Motors
Objective: Model three-phase brushless motors using lumped parameter and high-fidelity models. Simulate the motor drive and examine the motor behavior under different operating conditions.
- Three-phase brushless motor
- Tabulated motor model data
- Three-phase inverter
- Pulse-width modulation implementation
- Open-loop voltage control
Field-Oriented Control
Objective: Implement current control for a three-phase brushless motor using field-oriented control. Tune the controller and validate the controller performance.
- Field-oriented control (FOC)
- Current control implementation
- Controller tuning
Variable-Speed Drives
Objective: Implement a variable-speed drive by considering the motor performance under different operating regions. Extend the operation of the motor to high speeds using field-weakening control.
- Maximum-torque-per-ampere
- Field weakening
- Torque speed characteristics
- Speed control
