Unified Field Oriented Controlled Drive System for All Types of PMSMs Considering System Nonlinearities

Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines (PMSM) have increasing popularity in recent years due to their extensive use in domestic appliances, electric/hybrid vehicles, wind power generation and more electric aircraft technologies. This paper proposes a unified drive system simulation for all types of PMSMs. Its unified structure achieves self controller tuning and decoupling compensation once a machine is replaced by another. Field oriented control based realistic drive is implemented with a much-simplified simulation. The proposed structure incorporates with parameter variations, inverter nonlinearities, and DC-link voltage variations as well as it simulates ideal system behavior. Each system nonlinearity can be simply studied for any machine by deliberately altering the corresponding parameter owing to its unified structure. Hence, the effect of that particular variation on harmonic distortions, torque ripples, torque production capability, battery utilization ratio, system efficiency, system response and so on can be analyzed in detail. Thus, the novel implementation strategy will be quite useful to analyze the system behavior under different evaluation metrics, and it will accelerate the research and developments on the promising topic. The effectiveness of the strategy has been verified by extensive simulations.
