Description#

Limitation for dq-axis#

Limits the input voltages according to the following flowchart. Further information can be found in [1] . This function is already included in the CurrentControl. With the max modulation index \(m_\mathrm{max}\) the following voltages can be calculated.

\[\begin{split}V_\mathrm{max} &= V_\mathrm{DC} \cdot m_\mathrm{max} \\ V_\mathrm{abs} &= \sqrt{v_d^2 + v_q^2}\end{split}\]

Limitation for six phases#

Limits the input voltages according to the following scheme.

Note

This only applies for a six-phase machine, where the \(\alpha\beta\)-system is transformed with \(\vartheta_{el}\) into the \(dq\) system and the \(XY\)-system is transformed with \(-\vartheta_{el}\) into the \(xy\)-system. The basis for the \(\alpha\beta\)- and \(XY\)-systems is the Coordinate Transformation. Furthermore, this approach is only valid, if the two neutral points of the 6ph-PMSM are disconnected from each other (2N-configuration).

With the max modulation index \(m_\mathrm{max}\), the maximum stator voltage according to

\[V_\mathrm{max} = V_\mathrm{DC} \cdot m_\mathrm{max}\,,\]

can be realized. First, the \(xy\)-subspace is limited to a maximum voltage of

\[V_\mathrm{lim}^{xy} = \frac{V_\mathrm{max}}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{V_\mathrm{DC} \cdot m_{max}}{\sqrt{2}}\,.\]

The absolute value of the \(xy\)-voltages is

\[V_\mathrm{abs}^{xy} = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}\,.\]

Afterwards, the \(dq\)-voltages are limited with the resulting voltages \(v_{x,out}\) and \(v_{y,out}\) of the \(xy\)-limitation according to

\[V_\mathrm{lim}^{dq} = \sqrt{V_\mathrm{max}^2 - (V_\mathrm{out}^{xy})^2}\,,\]

with

\[V_\mathrm{out}^{xy} = \sqrt{(v_\mathrm{out}^x)^2 + (v_\mathrm{out}^y)^2}\,,\]

being the limited voltages of the \(xy\)-axis which will be output.

The voltages of the \(dq\)-subspace are limited according to the flowchart in Fig. 298, with \(V_\mathrm{max}\) being replaced by \(V_\mathrm{lim}^{dq}\).
