Simultaneous Simulation of PM Machine Drive Using the Physics-Based Phase Variable Model and the Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation Approach

Abstract

This paper presents an experimental approach for the verification of the physics-based phase variable model of electric machines developed using the parameters obtained from FE solutions. The experimental verification was performed through simultaneous simulation of the PM machine drive using the actual machine - a hardware-in-the-loop real time simulation approach and the physics-based phase variable model of the actual machine, respectively. A 6-pole PM machine was used to present the physics-based phase variable modeling; a 10-pole 42-V PM machine was used to demonstrate the experimental verification.
