A package for electric machinery analysis.
Project description
emachinery
A package for analysis of electric machinery.
A. Functions
1. Machine Quantities Calculations & Conversion
2. PI Regulator Tuner based on Texas Instruments' InstaSPIN
3. Run C-based Numerical Integration Simulation
4. Sweep Frequency Analysis
5. FEA based Machine Design and Multi-Objective Optimization (develop)
6. PC User GUI for Serial Communication to DSP (develop)
B. Installation and Requirements
The package can be installed via pip.
pip install emachinery
The package requires the following free softwares to work as expected:
- gmake.exe (I use the one from TI's CCS, it is located at somewhere like D:\ti\ccs930\ccs\utils\bin\gmake.exe)
- gcc (comes with MinGW---note I have both CCS and MinGW installed on my PC---might not be needed)
- pip install
- [Optional, to view .ui file] Qt Designer
C. Simulation Tips
- Field oriented control is an asymptotic input-output linearizing (IOL) control. This means the IOL is achieved only when flux modulus is regulated to its reference. So before motor starts, we must wait for the motor to build up its magnetic air gap field or else the starting transient would be disturbed. Refer to the figure below.
- The inductance of the motor matters. For a small "DC" servo PM motor, the inductance is relatively designed to be low because the DC source is usually only 24 V or 48 V. However, an induction motor usually has higher inductance, which limits the bandwidth of the current loop, I think. For example, this is what happens to d-axis current regulation when I set desired velocity loop bandwidth from 50 Hz up to 100 Hz. Refer to the figure below.
Known Issues
Anaconda3 Python Version
Anaconda3 (Python 3.8) comes with qtconsole now, but it will cause problems. My code was developed with Anaconda3 (Python 3.7). So one silly fix is to revert back to Python 3.7 for now:
conda install python=3.7 anaconda=custom
Jupyterlab/Qtconsole Version
After I upgrade my jupyterlab to version 3, qtconsole (version 4.6.0) starts to not work well. Below is some error message.

I found a related discussion here: https://github.com/jupyter/jupyter_client/issues/523 Reading the webpage, I fix this problem by first uninstalling ipykernel and install it back to a higher version.
pip uninstall ipykernel
Found existing installation: ipykernel 5.1.4
Uninstalling ipykernel-5.1.4:
pip install ipykernel

Changelog
1.1.4
- Anaconda3 (Python 3.8) comes with qtconsole now, but it will cause problems. My code was developed with Anaconda3 (Python 3.7). So one silly fix is to revert back to Python 3.7 for now:
conda install python=3.7 anaconda=custom
