Detailed Documentation

A comparative study between SVPWM and SPWM simulations implemented on permanent magnet synchronous motors has yielded several significant findings. The SVPWM simulation incorporates a six-sector voltage vector selection algorithm and utilizes Clarke/Park transformations for reference voltage generation, achieving approximately 15% better DC bus voltage utilization compared to conventional SPWM. Through this SVPWM simulation, we gain deeper insights into its practical application for PMSM control, including the implementation of voltage vector switching sequences and dead-time compensation techniques. Furthermore, the research explores the advantages and limitations of various control strategies, such as harmonic distortion analysis and torque ripple reduction methods, leading to proposed enhancements in modulation index optimization and dynamic response improvement. These investigations provide additional options and guidance for permanent magnet synchronous motor control, ultimately contributing to advancements in motor drive technology through optimized MATLAB code implementations and real-time controller deployment considerations.
