Development and Experimental Testing of a Speed Controlled PMSM Drive Using PSIM Visual Programming Environment

Abstract

This paper presents the design and implementation of a speed controller for an Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (IPMSM) using PSIM visual programming software environment based on vector control technique. A floating type TMS320F28335 Digital Signal Processor is used to realize the drive system. High Voltage Motor Control and Power Factor Correction kit, developed by Texas Instruments, is used in which the power and control blocks for the motor drive system are embedded. Theoretical analysis and design steps are elaborated along with explanations on the dynamic performance of the speed controller in the experimental results section.
