In this step, you perform gain tuning for the d-axis and q-axis current controller manually.
This step is optional, but helps you to tune the control gain parameters for the
current controller. Provide step change for Id_ref
and analyze the
current controller performance from the step response of Id_meas
.
Repeat the same process for Iq_ref
to tune the
q-axis current controller. In the plant model, lock the rotor to
ensure that the motor does not spin when you provide a step change for
Id_ref
or Iq_ref
. In the Surface Mount PMSM
block parameters dialog box, set the Mechanical input configuration
parameter to Speed
. Provide the Spd
input (of the Surface Mount PMSM block) as 0
to ensure that the rotor
is locked.
The integrated plant and controller subsystem simulation model allows you to manually
tune the gains of the current controller. Provide a step input to
Iq_ref
in the range (0
to
0.2
) PU and observe the measured feedback. Adjust the control
parameters of the current controller to meet your control objectives.
Simulate the model and plot the Iq_ref_PU
and
Iq_meas_PU
and analyze the step response. This allows you to tune
the control parameters for the q-axis controller to meet the control objectives.
You can follow the same method for tuning the d-axis current
controller. In the Surface Mount PMSM block parameters dialog box, set the
Mechanical input configuration parameter to
Torque
.
