Description

This design is similar to the design "Ideal Switching Design for Moog PMSM - BLDC Motor Use-Case", but the ideal switches in the inverter are replaced with "Datasheet" Power MOSFET models. These models are calibrated to match the datasheet specified characteristics of an STW45NM50 device. This replacement required the conversion to the digital signals used to control the switch states, to actual gate voltages. So representative models of the necessary gate drivers were also added.

In addition, a "hot part monitor" model was added to one of the Power MOSFETs. This models the datasheet specified "Rthj_amb" (0.32 degrees C per Watt), in order to predict the internal junction temperature during different phases of inverter operation. A thermal time-constant of 1 ms was assumed, which may be quite unrealistic. It is possible to add much higher fidelity thermal network models of the heat transfer path if valid parameters are given.

Finally, one of the low-pass filters used in the current sense path was changed to reflect a possible circuit implementation using op-amps. This is to show the ability to move seamlessly between ideal signal-flow (or continuous transfer function block) modeling to circuit implementation modeling, anywhere in a system design.

You can also see a version of this design that uses the manufacturer provided SPICE model for the Power MOSFET: "STW45NM50 MOSFET Switching Design for Moog PMSM - BLDC Motor Use-Case"

Description

This Electric Power Steering (EPS) System design includes a MotorSolve generated Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine (PMSM) model and a PWM Drive circuit. The drive includes a D-Q control algorithm, and uses space-vector modulation (SVM) to generate the digital PWM signals to the switches of the bridge.

The mechanical load model includes static and kinetic friction, a steering force that varies with rack displacement, as well as various mass, inertia, damping and spring/stiffness elements of the steering system. The steering torque, applied by the vehicle's driver, is assisted by torque from the motor scaled by the gear ratio. For the control, a non-linear gain profile is specified in the "torque_assist_table" function, and a lead-lag compensator is used to improve system stability.

In a companion version of this design, "EPS System with MotorSolve Generated PMSM Model and Ideal Drive", Clarke and Park Transform models are used with a continuous ideal voltage drive. This shows the ability to develop motor controls and drives at the abstract level and also at the circuit level.

Description

This Electric Power Steering (EPS) System design includes a PWM Switching Inverter circuit that uses Nexperia BUK9Y29-40E Power MOSFETs. The drive includes a D-Q control algorithm, and uses space-vector modulation (SVM) to generate digital PWM signals. These control the ON/OFF state of the switches.

The mechanical load model includes static and kinetic friction, a steering force that varies with rack displacement, as well as various mass, inertia, damping and spring/stiffness elements of the steering system. The steering torque, applied by the vehicle's driver, is assisted by torque from the motor scaled by the gear ratio. For the control, the first gain/pole-zero block (far left) specifies the amount of "torque_assist" gain (assist torque as a multiple of the vehicle operator's torque applied to the steering wheel), as well as providing compensation to improve system stability.

This design focuses on the performance of the switches in the inverter circuit, including tracking of the thermal characteristics of one representative switch. In a companion version of this design, "Electric Power Steering System with Ideal PMSM and Drive", Clarke and Park Transform models are used with a continuous ideal voltage drive, and provides much faster simulation results with a focus on overall system dynamic performance.
