LAB # 5
AC STATOR
CURRENT CONTROL
Please reach out for any extensions.
The purpose of this experiment is to use a microcontroller to control the three-phase stator currents
of an AC machine. In this lab, the DC machine will be used to prevent the rotor of an AC surface-
mount permanent-magnet machine from spinning. As a result, the machine will behave as the
three-phase AC stator discussed in the lecture.
The required material
Based on our experience in previous lab experiments, we can realize how difficult it would be if
we wanted to control a three phase machine using breadboard circuitry. In this lab we will
therefore be taking advantage of microcontroller-based control systems that we used in lab 6, the
dSpace controller. In this experiment we are replacing one of the DC machines with a Surface-
Mount Permanent-Magnet machine with the following parameters:
Ld = 0.09 mH, Lq = 0.27 mH and R = 300 m
Remote students (ISD 599) will be watching the video of the lab demonstration:

Part B, Lab Report
Your lab report should describe the experiment in detail, so that the reader can establish that you
understood the lab. You should compare the results of the stationary and synchronous current
regulators, and explain the observations/differences. Please use the data provided on canvas to
plot/analyze the response for both regulators. The file name indicates excitation frequency and the
controller type. Further, a document containing the label for the reference data is also shared to
help in identifying the recorded signals. A sample code illustrating on how to read the “.mat” file
is also provided. Please state whether the results agree with your understanding of the theory.
Pre-Lab
Design PI regulators for both stationary and synchronous reference frames for the given machine
parameters and a desired bandwidth of 500 Hz. Also, study the design of current regulators in
synchronous frame and stationary reference frames (you will have to submit the control block
diagram for both). You will not be able to do the understand/analyze experiments without the
knowledge of these controllers.
