IPM Motor with PWM vector control in PSIM
The vector control of an Interior Permanent Magnet (IPM) motor is simulated here using the combined power of PSIM, a circuit and systems simulator from PowerSim, and MagNet. PSIM simulates a rotor speed feedback loop which generates PWM phase voltages. A transient motion solve running concurrently in MagNet uses these to calculate the coil currents, which are fed back to PSIM.
