PI Current Controller Design in Electric Drives

The document describes 4 problems related to electric drives: 1) Designing a PI current controller for a DC motor with specified parameters and bandwidth. 2) Sketching waveforms for a balanced 3-phase system showing voltages over time. 3) Deriving expressions for instantaneous and average power in a single-phase and 3-phase system. 4) Comparing transmission losses when the same load is fed by a 3-phase vs single-phase supply over transmission wires.

ELEC-E8405 Electric Drives Exercise 4

Problem 1: Design of a PI current controller


The parameters of a DC motor are Ra = 0.87 Ω and La = 16 mH. An ordinary
PI current controller is used. The current-control bandwidth is required to be αc =
2π · 300 rad/s.
(a) Derive the expressions for the controller gains according to the principle of in-
ternal model control.
(b) Derive the expressions for the controller gains by cancelling the pole of the open-
loop system and by requiring that the 0-dB crossover angular frequency of the
loop transfer function is αc .
Problem 2: Waveforms in a balanced three-phase system
Sketch the waveforms of balanced three-phase voltages on the squared paper (or the
grid below).

Hint: It is convenient to use a 6 × 6 grid to draw these waveforms. You can fist mark
the points corresponding to zero crossings and peak values. It is also worth noticing
that sin(π/6) = 1/2 and mark these points on the grid.
Problem 3: Power in single-phase and three-phase systems
The purpose of this problem is to demonstrate that the instantaneous power in a
balanced three-phase system is constant in steady state.
√
(a) A single-phase load
√ is fed with the voltage u(t) = 2U sin(ωt) and it draws
the current i(t) = 2I sin(ωt − ϕ). Derive the expressions for the instantaneous
power and the average power.
Hint: The trigonometric product-to-sum identity may be useful:
1
sin α sin β = [cos(α − β) − cos(α + β)]
2
(b) A balanced three-phase load is fed with balanced three-phase voltages. Derive
the expressions for the instantaneous power and the average power.

Problem 4: Transmission losses


The figure below shows two different configurations to feed the same power to the
resistive load:
(a) The balanced three-phase supply feeds the three resistors Rload . The resistance
of the transmission wires is R.
(b) The single-phase supply, taken from one phase of the previous three-phase sup-
ply, feeds the load resistor Rload /3. The same transmission wires are also used
as in the previous case.
The resistance R of the wires can be assumed to be much smaller than the resistance
Rload . Compare the transmission losses in these two cases.
