Control Algorithm Development of Electrical Drives by Using Finite Element Model in Connected MATLAB/Simulink and JMAG Framework

This study presents a control algorithm development framework for electrical drives. In the proposed framework, MATLAB/Simulink and JMAG software are connected. Hence, the control algorithms under development can be investigated by simulations using a finite element process model. It provides a more accurate electromagnetic description than the lumped parameter type models. Therefore, the anisotropies of the machines can be considered during the development process of control algorithms. To demonstrate the application of the proposed framework, a simulation study on a controlled induction machine drive is presented.
