Description

The PMSM FeedForward Control block decouples d-axis and q-axis current controls and generates the corresponding feed-forward voltage gains to enable field-oriented control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM).

The block accepts feedback values of d-axis and q-axis currents and the mechanical speed of the rotor.

The block generates feed-forward gains from motor parameters specified using one of these methods.

• Lumped parameters with d-axis and q-axis stator winding inductances and permanent magnet flux linkage.

• Nonlinear model with d-axis and q-axis stator winding inductances and permanent magnet flux linkage lookup tables.

• Nonlinear model with d-axis and q-axis flux linkage lookup tables.

Equations

If you select Per-Unit (PU) in the Input units parameter, the block scales down the internal parameters to match the per-unit scale by default. You can also configure the block to convert the inputs to SI units before performing any computation and convert them back to per unit values after calculating the output.

These equations describe the computation of feed-forward gain by the block.

$${\omega }_e=p{\omega }_m$$

$V_d^{FF}=-{\omega }_{\text{e}}{\psi }_{\text{q}}=-{\omega }_{\text{e}}{L}_{\text{q}}{I}_{\text{q}}$

$V_q^{FF}={\omega }_{\text{e}}{\psi }_{\text{d}}={\omega }_{\text{e}}{L}_{\text{d}}{I}_{\text{d}}+{\omega }_{\text{e}}{\psi }_{\text{m}}$

where:

• $$p$$ is the number of pole pairs available in the motor.

• ${\omega }_e$ is the electrical speed corresponding to frequency of stator voltages (rad/s).

• $L_{\text{d}}$ and $L_{\text{q}}$ are the d-axis and q-axis stator winding inductances (henry).

• $I_{\text{d}}$ and $I_{\text{q}}$ are the d-axis and q-axis currents (amperes).

• ψ_d and ψ_qare the magnetic fluxes along the d- and q-axes (weber).

• ψ_m is the permanent magnet flux linkage (weber).

Allow scaled-down motor parameters with CodeGen (higher precision with Fixed-Point data type) — Scale down internal parameters to match per-unit scale

on (default) | off

Option to scale down internal parameters to match per-unit scale when generating code.

• When you enable this option, the block scales down the internal constants and coefficients to match the per-unit scale. This allows for higher precision when you use the fixed-point data type. If you use this option with the single or double data type, some precision loss can occur depending on the number of bits allotted to the integer portion.

• When you disable this option, the block converts all the constants and coefficients used for internal calculations to SI units and then converts them back to the PU scale. This allows you to update the lookup table values in the generated code, typically, for applications such as controller tuning or end-of-line operations. You can also update the values manually for debugging or reusing previously generated code.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter, set Input units to Per-Unit (PU).
