Analysis, Simulation, and Implementation of Vector Control: An Extremely Low-Cost Laboratory
Date: October 11, 2020
Location: Online
This tutorial provides an overview of vector control for induction motors and PMAC motors, starting with the fundamentals of DC motor operation and closed-loop control. These concepts are then extended to AC drives using dq-transformation. All concepts are validated through numerical simulation using Sciamble Workbench (free-of-cost, ONR-funded) and demonstrated in real time using a low-cost electric drives lab kit developed at the University of Minnesota through ONR support. Participants can remotely implement vector control of AC drives.
