Spinning Brushless Motors with Simulink

Brushless motors are everywhere. These motors rely on field-oriented control to regulate currents to motor windings.  In this session, we will look at some of the challenges and solutions for developing field-oriented control algorithms to achieve the 10-20KHz switching frequency required for efficient and accurate motor operation.

Highlights:

• Approaches for automatically generating fast compact floating-point and fixed-point code from models
• Methods for developing sensorless field-oriented control algorithms
• Approaches for tuning speed and current loop gains
• Techniques to model and parameterize electrical machines for simulation work
