Testbed for Real Time Control and Parameter Estimation

The electromagnetic constants of permanent magnet synchronous motors used in vector control equations are typically determined during manufacturing for each individual motor. AC electric motor control is widely needed and used in industrial applications, including process industry and robotic. automation. In practical applications, motor parameters can be changed broadly depending on environment and conditions. However, these motor parameters are not actually constant, but have some small variance depending on the context of use. Therefore, it is beneficial for motor control & power efficiency to have a way to accurately estimate and update these parameters in real-time, thus further optimizing motor performance. The goal of this project is to design a real-time control and parameter estimation technology for a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors and drive.
