A model matched to the machine

The supplied service scope covers permanent magnet, externally excited, induction and reluctance machines. Model complexity follows the topology and the control question, including nonlinear behavior where relevant.

  • PMSM: surface and interior permanent magnet, linear or nonlinear
  • EESM, SynRM and SRM: nonlinear models
  • IM and DFIG: linear or nonlinear models

Start from the available information

Models may begin with finite-element analysis data or be developed from scratch. The available electromagnetic information determines which parameters can be used directly and which need identification.

03 /

Connect the plant to the controller

A machine model provides the plant for controller development in MATLAB/Simulink. Keeping the electrical variables and electromagnetic characteristics consistent helps make the combined simulation useful.

04 /

Establish the validation basis

The supplied project descriptions include dynamometer-based parameter identification for EESM, locked-rotor and no-load testing for DFIG, and nonlinear characterization for SRG. Required data and validation conditions should be agreed for each engagement.
