The Park Transform

• Main idea is to change from the stationary frame to the rotary
frame  Sinusoidal signal with constant amplitude
 Using the Park Transform ( Remove the sin() )
 Constant value only in the dq frame

Example of PMSM
• The power_simplealt shows a Simplified Synchronous
Machine block with a 1000 MVA, 315 kV, 60 Hz equivalent
source connected to an infinite bus (Three-Phase
Programmable Voltage Source block).
– The Simplified Synchronous Machine (SI Units) block is used as a
synchronous generator.
– The internal resistance and reactance are set respectively to 0.02 pu
(1.9845 Ω) and 0.2 pu (X = 19.845 Ω; L = 0.0526 H).
– The inertia of the machine is J = 168,870 kg.m2, corresponding to an
inertia constant H = 3 s. The electrical frequency is ωs = 2*π*60/2 =
377 rad/s.
– The machine has two pairs of poles such that its synchronous speed is
2*π*60/2 = 188.5 rad/s or 1800 rpm.

Synchronous Machine block in motor mode

• The power_syncmachine demo illustrates the use of the
Synchronous Machine block in motor mode.
– The simulated system consists of an industrial grade synchronous
motor (150 HP (112 kVA), 762 V) connected to a network with a 10
MVA short-circuit level.
– In order to start simulation in steady state, the machine is initialized
using the Load Flow and Machine Initialization option of the Powergui.
The machine is initialized for an output electrical power of -50 kW
(negative value for motor mode), corresponding to a mechanical
power of -48.9 kW.
– The corresponding values of mechanical power and field voltage have
been automatically entered by the Load Flow analysis into the Pm Step
block and in the Vf Constant block.
