The plots must be computer generated. Do not draw them by hand. Be sure to include axis labels
(with units) and, if necessary, legends in the plots. Turn in any code used to generate the plots,
along with your work. You may use Simulink to check your answers, but you should calculate the
various quantities by hand or in code.
1. Convert each of the following 3-phase voltage sets into q, d, and 0 voltages for a reference
120𝜋 rad
frame rotating at 60 Hz with 𝜃 = 𝑡, where t is the time in seconds. Case I provides a
s
DC voltage on each phase, and Case II represents a nominal frequency voltage supply.
Simplify your expressions. (3 points each, 6 points total)
I. va = 100 V, vb = –50 V, vc = –50 V
120𝜋 rad 𝜋
II. va = 100 cos ( 𝑡 + 6 ) V,
s
120𝜋 rad 𝜋 2𝜋
vb = 100 cos ( 𝑡+6− ) V,
s 3
120𝜋 rad 𝜋 2𝜋
vc = 100 cos ( 𝑡+6+ )V
s 3
2. Consider a two-pole, three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor with inductances
independent of the rotor position and with Rs = 3 Ω, Ls = 25 mH, M = –10 mH, and
λPM,pk = 0.25 V·s. The permanent magnet synchronous motor has no neutral connection, so the
120𝜋 rad
zero-sequence current is 0. If the rotor is spinning at 3600 rpm with 𝜃𝑟 = 𝑡, plot each
s
of the following from 0 s to 0.1 s:
a. Steady-state q and d phase currents for each of the cases in Problem 1 (2 points for each iq
or id, 8 points total)
b. Steady-state a, b, and c phase currents for each of the cases in Problem 1 (1 point for each
ia, ib, or ic, 6 points total)
c. Steady-state electromagnetic torque for each of the cases in Problem 1 (2 points for each
torque, 4 points total)
3. Consider a two-pole, three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor with inductances that
vary with the rotor position and with Rs = 3 Ω, Lq = 35 mH, Ld = 10 mH, and
λPM,pk = 0.25 V·s. The permanent magnet synchronous motor has no neutral connection, so the
120𝜋 rad
zero-sequence current is 0. If the rotor is spinning at 3600 rpm with 𝜃𝑟 = 𝑡, plot each
s
of the following from 0 s to 0.1 s:
a. Steady-state q and d phase currents for each of the cases in Problem 1 (2 points for each iq
or id, 8 points total)
b. Steady-state a, b, and c phase currents for each of the cases in Problem 1 (1 point for each
ia, ib, or ic, 6 points total)
c. Steady-state electromagnetic torque for each of the cases in Problem 1 (2 points for each
torque, 4 points total)
4. Consider a two-pole, three-phase synchronous reluctance motor with inductances that vary
with the rotor position and with Rs = 3 Ω, Lq = 35 mH, and Ld = 10 mH. The synchronous
reluctance motor has no neutral connection, so the zero-sequence current is 0. If the rotor is
120𝜋 rad
spinning at 3600 rpm with 𝜃𝑟 = 𝑡, plot each of the following from 0 s to 0.1 s:
s
a. Steady-state q and d phase currents for each of the cases in Problem 1 (2 points for each iq
or id, 8 points total)
b. Steady-state a, b, and c phase currents for each of the cases in Problem 1 (1 point for each
ia, ib, or ic, 6 points total)
c. Steady-state electromagnetic torque for each of the cases in Problem 1 (2 points for each
torque, 4 points total)
5. Consider a two-pole, three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor with inductances that
vary with the rotor position and with Rs = 3 Ω, Lq = 35 mH, Ld = 10 mH, and
λPM,pk = 0.25 V·s. The permanent magnet synchronous motor has no neutral connection, so the
zero-sequence current is 0. The rotor is spinning at 3600 rpm , and the machine is operating
in steady-state with balanced sinusoidal currents at a frequency of 60 Hz.
a. Plot the torque versus current angle for current angles from 0 to 90 degrees and for RMS
stator phase currents of 1 A, 2 A, 3 A, 4 A, and 5 A (5 points)
b. Plot the current angle yielding MTPA versus RMS stator current for RMS stator phase
currents from 1 A to 5 A (2 points)
c. Plot the RMS stator phase voltage versus current angle for current angles from 0 to 90
degrees and for RMS stator phase currents of 1 A, 2 A, 3 A, 4 A, and 5 A (5 points)
