PM Synchronous motor Id-Iq current control

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on implementing Id-Iq current control for a four-pole Permanent Magnet (PM) synchronous motor. The user is experiencing difficulties in making the Iq current follow a set reference, despite successfully applying a similar approach to a DC motor using a PI controller. Key observations include the necessity of adjusting the integral gain to initiate motor rotation and the variability of Iq current at different speeds. The conversation emphasizes the importance of ensuring a functioning current vector in the stator-fixed reference frame before progressing to the rotor-fixed reference frame.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of PI controller tuning for motor control
  • Knowledge of current vector control in PM synchronous motors

Hi everyone,

I am trying to implement the current control (Id, Iq) of a four pole PM synchronous motor. I am having trouble in making the Iq current follow a set reference.

I had also implemented a cascaded speed control for a dc motor.

In that case, I adjusted the gains of the PI controller (inner loop/current loop) by stalling the motor and checked if the motor current followed the set reference current. It worked in this way for the dc motor. I thought of doing the same way for Iq but I am not getting the expected results.

In delta configuration of the stator, if I make the integral gain to be zero, the motor does not rotate. The motor starts rotating if I increase the integral gain to 1 and the speed increases as I increase the integral gain and reaches the maximum value depending upon the supply voltage.
If I stall the motor at different speeds, I get different values of Iq, say for 30 rad/s I have a current of 30mA and 60 rad/s, it is 50mA.
The motor current (Iq) is not following the reference current for any change I am making in the Kp and Ki values

Is there any other approach to achieve the PI control for both the currents?

Thanks

Have you checked that the basics of your system work, e.g. making sure you can produce a current vector in the stator-fixed reference frame (αβ-components) that follows some reference? If that works, then you can start worrying about the rotor-fixed reference frame.

In general, if you represent your system as a hierarchy of components, you start at the root, test it through and through, and then you can start building atop of it. In your case, the root could be a sampling system, with the reference-frame transformations built atop of it.
