Model - Motor - Maps

1. Positioning and objective

The aim of the test “Characterization - Model - Motor - Maps” is to give 2D maps in J d -J q plane for characterizing the 3-Phase synchronous machines with permanent magnets.

These maps allow predicting the behavior of the electrical rotating machine at a system level.

In this test engineers will find a system integrators and / or control-command tool adapted to their needs and able to provide accurate maps ready to be used in system simulation software like Activate.

2. User inputs

Maps are mainly functions of following user inputs: the maximum value of the electrical current, the speed and the number of quadrants to be considered and the rotor position dependency.

3.Main outputs

Test results are illustrated with data, graphs and tables.
