natural_values = uz_transformation_9ph_alphabeta_to_abc(stationary_values);

Adding transformations

When adding a new transformation for systems with different amounts of phases one must know if the principle of the existing VSD transformation can be used. If this is the case, go through the following steps:

  1. Copy the functions uz_9ph_clarke_transformation, uz_transformation_9ph_alphabeta_to_abc and uz_9ph_arraymul and rename them accordingly (e.g. uz_6ph_arraymul).

  2. Create the structs uz_alphabeta_9ph_t and uz_abc_9ph_t for the newly added phase system.

  3. In uz_9ph_arraymul adapt the expected array dimensions and limit of the for-loop to your amount of phases (everywhere where there is a 9).

  4. Do the same with the Clarke transformation functions and change the structs to your newly created ones. For the VSD transformation, the Matlab script (see below) can be used.

  5. Adapt the input/output writing accordingly.

To use the Matlab script that outputs the VSD matrix in C code, the variable “n” must be changed to the target amount of phases. The placeholder “VSD_MATRIX” should be replaced with the Matlab variable that holds the VSD matrix (e.g. from your workspace). The factor for amplitude invariance will be multiplied afterward so the user should not apply it to your VSD matrix by himself. The creation of a transformation matrix with this method was presented in [1].

Listing 40 Matlab script
%% VSD matrix
n = 9;
z = single(2/n*VSD_MATRIX);
invz = inv(z);

%% print code for normal matrix
fprintf('\nTransformation Matrix:\n');
printcode(z,n);

%% print code for inverse matrix
fprintf('\nInverse Transformation Matrix:\n');
printcode(invz,n);

%% function printcode function declare: print c code for matrix to 2D array
function printcode(matrix,phases)
  fprintf('float const vsd_mat[%d][%d] = \n{\n',phases,phases);
  for y = (0:(phases-1))
    fprintf('    { ');
    for x = (0:(phases-1))
      fprintf('%.7ff',matrix(y+1,x+1));
      if x<(phases-1)
        fprintf(', ');
      end
    end
  if y<(phases-1)
    fprintf(' },\n');
  else
    fprintf(' }\n');
  end
end
fprintf('};\n');
end
