INSTASPIN-BLDC: Overmodulation strategy

Part Number: INSTASPIN-BLDC
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MOTORWARE

Hi,

I am trying to develop FOC of PMSM. Currently, my focus is on

1. Overmodulation strategy. 

2. Smooth transition between under modulation and overmodulation

I was looking for Dave Wilson videos but I couldn't find detail analysis and design. I am looking for good study material or training videos. Please help me if it's available.

  • Download motorware which has example projects (lab10a) using overmodulation.

    Find the InstaSPIN lab guide (instaspin_labs.pdf) in the folder of motorWare, the lab10a chapter has a detailed description of overmodulation implementation.

  • Hi Yanming,

    Thanks for your prompt response. 

    Actually, I want to understand first overmodulation so, looking for some document which is good from implementation point of view. I came across many literature but most of them are using trigonometric function which will increase  execution time significantly. 

    In the attached slide, Dave Wilson has talked about a simple method but I couldn't get any reference document on it. If available, please share reference document for this method or reference document on a similar overmodulation technique. 

  • As the slide you mentioned, the SVPWM implemented in MotorWare and MotorControlSDK supports over modulation automatically, you don't need to have any additional process when you set the USER_MAX_VS_MAG_PU is greater than (0.5).
