Vector Control of Drives

7 experiments Hardware

This lab provides hands-on experience in the modeling, control, and real-time implementation of AC motor drive systems. Students will identify machine parameters, build abc→dq models, design and tune V/f, vector (FOC), and DTC controllers, implement SVPWM on a three-phase inverter, and validate performance on hardware using safe measurement practices.
