Symbol

Description

Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine (PMSM)

Model of a three-phase Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine (PMSM) with the sinusoidal back Electro-Motive Force (EMF). In motor operation torque and speed have the same sign. Rotor Angle is defined as the angle between the a-phase and the d-axis. In this model, the saturation can be modeled using a piecewise linear approximation of direct and quadratic axis inductances.

Electrical model and equations

vd_vq_circuits

v_a = R_s i_a + \frac{d}{dt} (L_{aa} i_a + L_{ab} i_b + L_{ac} i_c) + \frac{d }{dt} \phi_m \sin{(\omega_r t)}
v_b = R_s i_b + \frac{d}{dt} (L_{ba} i_a + L_{bb} i_b + L_{bc} i_c) + \frac{d }{dt}\phi_m \sin{(\omega_r t - \frac{2 \pi }{3})}
v_c = R_s i_c + \frac{d}{dt} (L_{ca} i_a + L_{cb} i_b + L_{cc} i_c) + \frac{d }{dt} \phi_m \sin{(\omega_r t + \frac{2 \pi }{3})}

where \phi_m = \frac{K_e}{ N_{ pp} } is the permanent magnet flux linkage, and \omega_r = N_{pp} \Omega is the electrical speed of the rotor field. Phase inductances (L_{aa}, L_{ab}, L_{ac},..., L_{cc}) are calculated from the rotor reference frame inductance (L_{d}, L_{q}) defined in the property panel as the incremental inductance.
This component will use the lineary interpolated inductance when the current is between the two segmented points.

Electromechanical equations

Electro-magnetic torque:

T_e = 1.5 * N_{ pp}*(i_q * \phi_d - i_d * \phi_q)

where \phi_d = L_d i_d + \phi_m and \phi_q = L_q i_q

Mechanical rotational speed \Omega:

J \frac{d\Omega}{ dt} = T_e - B \Omega
