Welcome to the Advanced Inverter Model for Electric Motor Simulation Toolkit project. This thread is intended to foster discussion about the project, so please post any questions, comments, bug reports, and other relevant information here.

Introduction to the project

This NI Labs package provides the advanced inverter model for NI Electric Motor Simulation Toolkit.

This package contains two examples to help you integrate the advanced inverter model into your own hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) solution. The advanced inverter model allows you to simulate the transient changes of the inverter, which converts direct current (DC) to three-phase alternating current (AC) to supply power to the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM).  This model takes into account the conductance and forward voltage drop of the semiconductor power switches within the inverter. This model enables simulation with higher fidelity than the ideal inverter model previously released in Electric Motor Simulation Toolkit. The advanced inverter model also supports fault insertion, which allows you to simulate system behaviors when the inverter has faults.

This package contains two examples of simulating a PMSM FEA model by using the advanced inverter model. You can test your control algorithms on a host computer and verify whether the algorithm can perform correctly with the HIL solution on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) targets.
