Simulation of a permanent magnet synchronous motor using Matlab-Simulink

In the recent past, the use of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) has increased considerably owing to their inherent advantages. The high performance speed and/or position control of a PMS motor requires an accurate knowledge of rotor shaft position and angular speed in order to synchronize the phase excitation pulses to the rotor position. The vector control method is used for dynamic speed control. In this paper mathematical model of PMSM was developed using PARK'S transformation. The conventional vector control of drive is implemented using SVPWM. In order to test and validate the control scheme, the model is developed in Matlab - Simulink and is tested for various operating conditions. MATLAB version RIO is used.
