Mohamed Abdelrahem Exercise: Space vector 1

 Introduction

Generally, the controller generates the reference voltage vector

How to apply this voltage vector on the motor?

 SVM

The basic idea of SVM is to generates the switching signals directly form
the space vector without transfer it to the abc reference frame.

 SVM

If u_s is identical to one of the base vectors, then this vector will
be applied on the motor.
What is the solution of the vector u_s is not identical?

 Clarke Transformation

If u_s doesn’t reach the dashed line in the above figure, a zero
vector should be used.
