Abstract Voltage source inverter is widely used in many
industrial applications such as robot, electric vehicle and machine
tool. The performance of the drive system depends upon the
method of control for converter and motor control method. From
the most performance method is a space vector pulse width
modulation technique. Here the field oriented control of
permanent magnet synchronous motor with using space vector
modulation is used to controlling the inverter and improving the
performance characteristics of the motor such as speed, currents
and the electric torque by reducing their ripples. This occurs
through adding PI controller for flux and simple model to track
the torque and speed when varying load is applied. In the PI
controller, the d-axis flux is compared to rotor permanent magnet
flux to solve the problem arises from non-sinusoidal of the
magnetic flux. The output of the PI controller is added to the
reference d-axis current. The new d-axis current will reach the
best value of THD. The simple model is used to generate new q
axis torque current controller comes from lookup table and
adding to reference q axis current controller to control the motor
speed. The effect of improvement can be seen through the torque

I. INTRODUCTION
In the past DC motors are used to get accurate speed, fast
dynamic response and high performance characteristics
nearer zero speed but these motors have drawn back such as
need regular maintenances due to presence of brushes and
commutators. With development of power electronics and
microcontroller, the DC motors are replaced with AC motors.
Here the PMSM is used this is because this motor has
many advantages such as high torque to inertia ratio, high
torque to current ratio, high power factor, rotor lossless and
high efficiency. The performance of these motors (PMSMS)
in drive systems depend upon the motor control and method
of current control in power converter. From the most
important methods to control the power converter are current
and voltage controls. The current control is preferable. This is
because it is simple. The quality control of this method
depends upon the quality of the waveform is generated by
current controlled of converter. To get good power waveform
this depends upon switching frequency of the PWM,
modulation method and current waveform. The method of
motor control is very important in the drive system. This is
because the operation of the PMSM under effect of scalar

control is suffered from complicated coupling nonlinear
dynamic performance. This problem can be solved by field
oriented control (FOC). PMSM with FOC emulates the
separately excited DC motor. In this method of control, the
stator current can be decupled into flux and torque current
components. They can be controlled separately. In four
quadrant with keeping magnetic circuit linear and applying
the principles operation of the FOC, the linear relation can be
described the motor torque. The performance of the motor
suffers from uncertainties, parameters variation, harmonics in
both motor and inverter. These problems affect motor
performance. To solve this problem, the machine design and
control technique are used. The first method is complicated
and high cost so the other method is preferable[1-3]. Many
control techniques are used to solve this such as:
Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) which has
some features such as, [4,5]
1. Its can able to adjust with the varying fundamental
frequency to switching frequency ratio.
2. Its hardware implementation is very simple
3. It has lower base band harmonics than regular
PWM
4. Fifteen percent more output voltage than
conventional modulation.
5. More efficient use of dc supply and avoids
unnecessary switching.
Also some programs are used to cancelation the harmonics
but these methods require full knowledge about the machine
parameters. These methods become undesirable if the
operating point changes [6-7]. The current control scheme
with an adaptive internal model is proposed in many
researches as [8]. Passive filter is used to reducing the ripples
in [9] but higher circulating current arises between filter and
inverter. Active filter is used to reducing the ripples but this
method is higher cost [10].
Proportional integrator controller (PI), it is the most
common controllers used in a wide range in the industrial
applications. The popularity of PI control can be attributed to
its simplicity. The integral controller has drawback such as
saturation. This phenomenon can be avoided by introducing a
limiter to the integral part of the controller before adding its
output to the output of the proportional controller. The output
of the PI is used as the input of controlled voltage source
inverter which is fed to the motor for controlling its speed
[11-13]. Many researches used PI controller to improve the
position and speed controllers this is because it affects the
performance of the drive system especially torque and speed
oscillations. The PI controller is sensitive to uncertainties

variation such as motor parameters, disturbance and

used to tracking the motor speed and motor torque. The PI
controller is used to reduce the noise, distortion and ripple in
the stator currents and torque this can be done by reducing the
distortion in the stator flux. The estimated torque is used to
track the motor torque and speed. This system is simulated
through matlab simulink. The simulated model with proposed
new PI controllers is compared with conventional SVPWM to
investigate the advantages of the new proposed modle. This

ATHEMATICAL MODEL OF
PMSM
The mathematical model of a PMSM is similar to that of
wound rotor synchronous motor. The rotor winding of
synchronous motor is replaced with high resistivity permanent
magnet material, hence, induced current in the rotor are
negligible. The permanent magnets on the rotor are shaped in
such a way as to produce sinusoidal back EMF in stator
windings.
The following equations represent the model of PMSM

Space vector modulation technique is used to switching the
three phase inverter in drive system. This can be seen in Fig.1.
It is consists of six switches that shape the output voltages.
When any upper switch is on, the lower switch in the same
arm is off so by known the upper switched case the output
voltage can be determined. The relation between the line to

SVM
The conventional structure of the field oriented control is
shown in Fig.4. The error in q axis current is introduced to PI
current controller to produce q axis voltage reference also the
error in d axis current is delivered to PI current controller to
produce d axis voltage reference. These voltages are
transformed with help of electrical rotor position into two
dimensional voltages varying in time which used to generate
gating signals to drive the inverter through SVM. In this
traditional control (FOC), the drive is influenced by
uncertainties, electromagnetic interface, non-sinusoidal of
stator current and permanent magnet rotor flux or all of them.
They reflect on the torque and current causing unwanted
problems such as ripple and noise. PI speed controller which
is used to generate the q-axis current isn't sufficient to
overcome the noise and ripples in torque and current. So this
paper introduced modified structure controller to improve
these problems.
The modified structure of the field oriented control is
shown in Fig5. In this structure, the modified block can be
seen in details in Fig6 and simple model is shown in Fig7.To
minimize the ripple and noise in the torque and controlling the
speed so simple estimated model is used; this model estimated
the load torque and deduced from that new q axis current
controller through lookup table which is added to reference q
axis current controller this new q axis current is comparing to
measure q axis current and the error is used to generating q
axis voltage through PI controller.
With this enhanced in the q-axis current component, the
distortion of the current doesn’t reach the best value. To reach
the best value another PI controller is used. The input of this
PI controller arises from comparing the estimated d-axis flux
with permanent magnet flux. The output of this PI controller
is added to the reference d-axis current which is forced to zero
at constant flux region. This new d axes current is compared
to actual d axis current and introduced to PI controller to
regulate d axis voltage .
The d axis voltage and q axis voltage are transformed with
help of electrical rotor position into two dimensional voltages
varying in time which used to generate gating signals to drive
the inverter through SVM.

PI controller is a type of feedback controller which has output
depending upon the error. This error is used to adjust the input
of the other process. Two parameters are used to design this

Here conventional and modified models are compared. These
comparisons are used to showing the effectiveness of
modified model on the motor speed responses, torque
responses and THD in current. Table3 shows the
improvement in the torque ripples and THD due to use the
simple model and PI controller. Table4 shows the motor
parameters. During the simulations, the torque set value is at
rated. In all Figs the time axis is in seconds and the following
cases are simulated
1. Motor starting with loading.
2. Sudden applied load.
3. Dynamic load
Where it is found that,
A. The first Case (starting with load)
In Figs (8-9), dq axes currents are simulated with
conventional and modified model respectively. In
conventional model (Fig8), the dq axes currents have some
distorted. In modified model (Fig9), both q-axis current
component and d-axis current component are enhanced.
Fig.8. Idq-axis current with conventional method
Fig.9. Idq-axis current with modified method
The torque responses in Fig.11 showed that, the torque ripple
is improved with modified model if it is compared to the
conventional model (Fig.10).
Figs.(12-13) show that the speed with conventional model and
the modified model approximately the same.
In Fig.15, the stator currents become smoother with
modified model due to improvement in the dq-axes current
components. In conventional model (Fig.14), the stator
current has some distortion due to noise and electromagnetic
interference.

The effect of applied and load removal can bee seen in Figs
(18-19). In conventional method (Fig.18), the motor torque is
very increasing when suddenly load is applied and decreased
when load is removed but in modified model when the load is
suddenly applied or removal the effect of this can be
neglected i.e. with modified model the motor torque
responses is improved (Fig.19).

The effect of simple model can be seen in Fig.21 with
sudden applied or removal the load. The same effect can be
studied with conventional method (Fig. 20) where it is found
that,
Little change in the motor speed can be seen when suddenly
load is applied or removal when compared to conventional
model which has higher effect on the motor speed for the
same case.

In Fig.23, the stator currents become smoother with
modified method due to reduction of the noise in the stator
flux and suppresses in electromagnetic interference. With
adding PI current controller, the stator currents become less in
the total harmonics distortion if it is compared to the
conventional model (Fig.22).

C. The Third Case (dynamic load)
Here the motor start with increasing load gradually, at 0.1 sec.
the load reached full load, at 0.25 the load is gradually
decreased at 0.35 sec. the load reached zero and continuous
without load at 0.4 sec.
Oscillations in dq-axes currents with conventional method
can be seen in Fig.24. In modulated method the oscillations
are improved (Fig.25).

In Fig.26, the ripple torque is reduced with modified methods
if it is compared to conventional method (Fig. 27) this occurs
due to less in the electromagnet interface and improvement in
q-axis current component with modified model.
Fig.28 shows the motor speed with conventional method
and Fig.29 shows the motor speed with modified methods.
From these Figs. It found that;
The variation of the speed due to varying load can be
neglected due to use the simple model where the variation of
the motor speed with conventional method can not be
neglected.

ONCLUSION
This paper is addressed the dynamic performance of
permanent magnet synchronous motor under effect of field
oriented control with simple model and PI controller with
using space vector pulse width modulation. SVPWM is made.
Simple model to control the motor torque and motor speed is
proposed. PI current controller is used to affect the inverter
switching frequency to reduce the ripples in the torque and
current. The stator current waveforms become smoother. The
results show that, the q-axis current becomes smoother which
reflects on the motor torque to keep quit operation. The d-axis
current reduced to zero which reflects on total harmonic
distortion in current. Simple model reduced from effect of
sudden applied load, removal load and dynamic load on
motor speed and motor torque.

In conventional Direct Torque Control (DTC), a single stator voltage vector of the inverter standard topology is selected every control sampling period, and it is maintained for the whole period. This makes the torque and stator flux reference values to be reached quickly, with a small number of inverter switchings, resulting in a very good dynamic response. However, by this switching technique, based on hysteresis, large and small torque and flux errors are not distinguished, which cause an extra torque ripple in motor steady state operation. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes a simple solution, which consists in the modulation of the nonzero voltage vector duration over a sampling period, according to the instant values of the torque and stator flux errors. The introduced duty ratio is calculated using a relation containtaining terms proportional to these errors. The presented results show the torque, flux and current ripple reduction obtained by using the proposed method. Its main advantage is that it requires an insignificant additional computation, preserving the simplicity of the conventional DTC.

Active filters are widely employed in distribution system to reduce the harmonics. In this paper, a fuzzy logic-controlled shunt active power filter capable of reducing the total harmonic distortion is developed. The instantaneous p-q theory is used for calculating the compensating current. Fuzzy-adaptive hysteresis band technique is adopted for the current control to derive the switching signals for the voltage source inverter. The fuzzy-adaptive hysteresis band current controller changes the hysteresis bandwidth according to the supply voltage and the slope of the reference compensator current wave. A fuzzy logic-based controller is developed to control the voltage of the DC capacitor. Simulation results obtained are presented and compared with the conventional controller. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed technique for harmonic reduction.

In most high-performance application of voltage source pulse-width modulation inverters, current control is an essential part of the overall control system. In this paper a novel adaptive hysteresis current control technique based on time and magnitude error for a single phase five-level inverter with flying-capacitor topology used in an active power filter (APF) is proposed.

This paper presents digital signal processor (DSP) based direct torque control scheme using space vector modulation (DTC-SVM) for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives. The analysis of PMSM shows that the increase of electromagnetic torque is proportional to the increase of the angle between the stator and rotor flux linkages and therefore fast torque response can be obtained by increasing the rotating speed of the stator flux linkage as fast as possible. The presented control strategy DTC-SVM is implemented in software of the DS1103 board. Simulations and experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme. Also comparison with conventional DTC scheme and results of speed control loop are given.

In this paper, a back-electromotive force-based method is used in conjunction with three very low-cost integrated circuits based on the Hall-effect to estimate the rotor position of the direct-drive permanent-magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) to be used for traction purpose of an electric wheelchair. A speed estimator based on a rotor frame machine model has been implemented for the PMSM drives, and then the rotor position estimation is achieved by means of a discrete integration of the estimated speed. The three Hall effect sensors are used to detect the rotor initial position as well to reset the error on the rotor position estimation every 60 electrical degrees. In the specific application, support vector machine technique has been implemented together with the field oriented control. Simulations and experimental results are shown in the paper

In this paper, a modular control approach is applied to a permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) speed control. Based on the functioning of the individual module, the modular approach enables the powerfully intelligent and robust control modules to easily replace any existing module which does not perform well, meanwhile retaining other existing modules which are still effective. Property analysis is first conducted for the existing function modules in a conventional PMSM control system: proportional-integral (PI) speed control module, reference current-generating module, and PI current control module. Next, it is shown that the conventional PMSM controller is not able to reject the torque pulsation which is the main hurdle when PMSM is used as a high-performance servo. By virtue of the internal model, to ify the torque pulsation it is imperative to incorporate an internal model in the feed-through path. This is achieved by replacing the reference current-generating module with an iterative learning control (ILC) module. The ILC module records the cyclic torque and reference current signals over one entire cycle, and then uses those signals to update the reference current for the next cycle. As a consequence, the torque pulsation can be reduced significantly. In order to estimate the torque ripples which may exceed certain bandwidth of a torque transducer, a novel torque estimation module using a gain-shaped sliding-mode observer is further developed to facilitate the implementation of torque learning control. The proposed control system is evaluated through real-time implementation and experimental results validate the effectiveness.

A novel PWM scheme which can considerably reduce harmonic currents is proposed. It is explained analytically that the harmonic currents depend on the amplitude and phase angle of the reference voltage vector, the inverter output voltage vectors used in a switching period, and the sequence of these output voltage vectors. In the novel PWM scheme, the switching sequence is selected so that the harmonic currents are minimum. An experimental system which generates the PWM patterns by software at real time is constructed. Compared with the conventional sinusoidal PWM scheme, it is confirmed that the current ripple is decreased and the spectrum is shifted and dispersed to a higher frequency region.Es wird ein neues Modulationskonzept vorgeschlagen, mit dem die Oberschwingungsstrme betrchtlich herabgesetzt werden knnen. Wie analytisch gezeigt wird, hngen diese von Amplitude und Phasenwinkel des Zeigers der Referenzspannung, der Wechselrichter-Ausgangsspannung in einer Schaltperiode und der Abfolge der Zeiger dieser Ausgangsspannung ab. Nach dem neuen Konzept wird die Schaltfolge so gewhlt, da sich ein Minimum der Oberschwingungsstrme ergibt. In einer Versuchseinrichtung wird das Pulsmuster durch Software in Echtzeit generiert. Im Vergleich mit der konventionellen Sinusbewertung besttigt sich eine Verminderung der Welligkeit und eine Verschiebung des Oberschwingungsspektrums in den Bereich hherer Frequenzen.

Hysteresis current control is one of the simplest techniques used to control the magnitude and phase angle of motor current for motor drive systems. However the conventional fixed band hysteresis control has a variable switching frequency depending on motor speed and load. In this paper, the adaptive hysteresis band current control strategy is proposed, where the hysteresis band is controlled as variations of motor speed, load current, and neutral point voltage in order to hold the switching frequency constant at any operating conditions. The proposed current control strategy is introduced to the current controller of a vector controlled permanent magnet synchronous motor systems. The proposed strategy is verified by simulations and experiments
Conference Paper
The principal advantage of space vector modulation for voltage source inverters is its aptitude for easy microprocessor implementation. Most of today's realizations use this principle in its most simple form, being identical to a regular sampled carrier based PWM. A thorough analysis and discussion of all degrees of freedom, together with simulation results, reveals that this implementation is nearly optimal in a wide range of operation. An additional reduction of the distortion currents is possible for a high modulation index
