Space vector PWM techniques and high temperature super conducting PMSM machines with multilevel Inverter

This paper introduces the principle of space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM), and discusses a method for implementing the SVPWM based on MATLAB/SIMULINK, as well as modeling of AC servo system with permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). Simulation results show that the model is effective, and the method provides a frame of reference for software and hardware designs which can be applied in high temperature superconducting (HTS). PMSM are widely used in low and mid power applications such as computer peripheral equipments, robotics, adjustable speed drives and electric vehicles. The growth in the market of PMSM motor drives has demanded the need of simulation tool capable of handling motor drive simulations.
