Field Oriented Motor Control Development in Matlab Simulink

Field Oriented Motor Control Development in Matlab Simulink udemy course

Field Oriented Control (FOC), Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines (PMSM), Matlab Simulink Development

This course is created for enthusiastic starters who are interested in the control methods of the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines (PMSM) used in hybrid or electric cars. This course covers the needed theoretical background on PMSM constructions, unfolds their advantages over the Induction Machines (IM), explaining why these electric rotary machines are preferred in the modern world. Challenges of the Field Oriented Control (FOC) algorithm introduced throughout its block diagram representation to ease the learning process by firstly understanding why developers all around the world are preferring this control method. Several mathematical operations needed for the implementation of the FOC algorithm, such as Clark- and Park coordinate system transformations are going to be deducted and represented with simple scalar equations. The main purpose of this course is to inspire brave minds to dive into the interesting challenges of the motor control world starting from scratch.

The theoretical knowledge gained regarding the PMSM motors as well as the FOC algorithm are going to be planted into practice, in which we are going to develop a working motor control algorithm in Matlab Simulink environment. This course is created for you, if you are eager to learn how the great guys in the automotive industry are developing complex softwares for powerful electric vehicles. After implementing the FOC algorithm, Model-In Loop (MIL) simulations are going to be carried out where several PMSM parameters as well as logics within the motor control algorithm are going to be explained throughout spectacular simulation results. Each step of the FOC implementation as well as the MIL simulations are created to guide you through the whole development process of such motor control algorithm.

This course was created in the hope of increasing the potential number of future motor control developers, starting from the ground and implementing complex systems from scratch. As part of this course, you are going to get several Matlab and Simulink files to ease the learning process and guide you through this interesting topic.
