Comparison Of Various Pwm Techniques For Field Oriented Control Vsi Fed Pmsm Drive

Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) drives have been increasingly applied in a variety of industrial applications which require fast dynamic response and accurate control over wide speed ranges. However, there still exist challenges to design position-sensor less vector control of PMSM operating in a wide speed range, which covers both constant-torque and constant-power region. Field oriented control (FOC) of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is one of the widely used methods for the speed control of the motor. The feasibility and effectiveness of various pulse width modulation techniques implemented for PMSM are addressed in this paper and verified by computer simulation. The whole drive system is simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK based on the mathematical model of the system devices including PMSM and inverter. The aim of the drive system is to have speed control over wide speed range. Simulation results show that the speed controller has a good dynamic response.
