D-axis excitation

This subsystem enables d-axis current control for other-than flux weakening puproses. Specifically, MTPA (Maximum Torque Per Ampere) is implemented.

DAC overview

The MTPA, using the motor parameters, is trying to find best value of the D-axis curernt to maximize the shaft torque for the given total stator current. This algorithm is suited usually for the IPM motors.

Parameters​

dxc [.iref]​

This parameter limits the maximum d-axis current for the other-than flux weakening purposes <0:disable>

mtk [-]​

The MTPA feedback gain. The higher the value, the faster is the MTPA algorithm convergence. The lower the value, the smoother the response and lower the risks of oscilations. <0:direct map>

Special value:
0 - disables the MTPA algorithm and forces dxc * iref current as the D-axis current reference.

States (only esc5)​

idref_dx [A]​

The calculated d-axis excitation current reference.
