Perform Manual Gain-tuning of Current Controller

In this step, you perform gain tuning for d-axis and q-axis current controller manually.

This step is optional and helps you to tune the control gain parameters for current controller. Provide step change for Id_ref and analyze the current controller performance from step response of Id_meas. Repeat the same with Iq_ref for tuning the q-axis current controller. In the plant model, lock the rotor to ensure motor is not spinning when step change is given for Id_ref or Iq_ref. In the Surface Mount PMSM block mask, select Speed for Mechanical input configuration. Provide speed input as 0 and this ensures that the rotor is locked.

This simulation model allows manual gain tuning for current controller. Give a step input to Iq_ref in the range (0 to 0.2) PU and observe the measured feedback. Adjust control parameters of current controller to meet the control objectives.

Run simulation and plot the Iq_ref_PU and Iq_meas_PU and analyze the step response. This simulation model allows to tune the control parameters for q-axis controller to meet the control objectives.

Adjust the control parameters to meet the control objective. You can follow the same method for tuning the d-axis current controller.
