Dynamic analysis of current regulators for AC motors using complex vectors

The analysis and design of current regulators for polyphase AC loads is presented using complex vector notation. The AC motor current regulation problem is analyzed by studying both the command tracking and disturbance rejection capability of the current regulator. The use of complex vector notation and the generalization of classical control tools like root locus, frequency response functions, and dynamic stiffness functions to complex vectors provide a way of comparing the performance of different controller topologies. Limitations in the performance of the synchronous frame PI current regulator are outlined and several ways of improving its performance are suggested and investigated.
