Vector Control of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor by a Two-Level SPWM Inverter

Abstract

This paper presents Vector Control (Field Oriented Control) simulation of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM). Mains, motor, and 2-level inverter were modeled in MATLAB/Simulink environment. Gate signals for semiconductors were generated with the SPWM method. Park, Clarke transforms, and the PI controller were used in the FOC algorithm. Important waveforms on the inverter and motor models have been examined in detail.
