Guidelines for Assignment
ELEC4613 – Electric Drive Systems
Total marks: 35 (worth 10% of the final marks)
The assignment for this course introduces you to simulation tools on a platform
(Matlab/Simulink) for studying the steady-state and dynamic behaviour of an example drive
system. These tools allow you to investigate the performance of a drive more elaborately than
is possible in a lecture or laboratory.
For the assignment, you will simulate an EV model accelerating on the road with a certain
slope angle. The EV model will be driven by a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine under
rotor field-oriented control (vector current control).
The machine and load parameters for your simulation are provided. The driving conditions,
voltage supply, converter arrangement and operating conditions for each task are also provided.
The assignment is worth 10% of your final assessment for this course. You will need to write
a technical report based on your simulation results. The report should consist of a description
of your simulation in terms of its goals, brief theory, and simulation data that you have collected
as your results. It must also include any plot of the data, operating characteristics in the form
of graphs, your conclusions/observations of the simulation results.
An example simulation model (on Simulink), a few important equations and some customised
simulation blocks related to the controller design are provided for easy implementation.
Normally, such simulation models help us to determine what controls and operating conditions
are required if some desirable performances (or goals) are to be achieved. You are expected to
critically discuss controller design and tuning process.
Your assignment must be submitted in the Assignment submission created in Moodle by the
submission deadline of 11:55 pm on 8 August (Week 11, Monday) 2022.
No late submission outside of Moodle will be accepted under any circumstances. If you fail to
submit due to medical reasons, you can apply for special consideration as per the UNSW
guidelines.
The Design Problem
An EV (say Tesla Model 3) has a Vehicle Mass of 1611 kg, wheel radii of 0.35 m, a fixed gear
ratio of 9.734:1 and a front area of 2.16 m2. This EV is driven by a PMSM with the following
parameters: pole number = 8, = 0.42 , = 0.52 , ? = 0.028 ?, and
= 0.23 Wb. It has a MOSFET bridge inverter with a carrier frequency of 50 kHz and a
rated current of 700 A. The battery has a nominal DC bus voltage of 600V.
(i) Consider the EV having: friction coefficient = 0.3, aerodynamic drag coefficient =
0.23, and air density for drag = 1.225 kg/m3. The motor inertia can be included by
increasing the referred vehicle inertia to the motor side by a factor km = 1.08. Develop
a Simulink model of the EV mechanical loads with the motor torque Te and road slop
angle slop_deg as inputs. This EV block should be able to calculate the vehicle speed
(km/h), motor speed (rpm), and mechanical load torque applied to the motor (Nm).
The developed model should function as a stand-alone Simulink block, as shown in
Fig. 1 (the red block“EV Model”). After building the block, test it using the following
data – input slope angle as 0, 20 and 40 deg (one at a time) while keeping the input
motor torque fixed at a value calculated using the torque equation:
()m m q d q d q3T p i L L i i2 λ? ?= + ?? ? where id = -183.7A and iq = 675.5A.
Use a scope to note the acceleration time for each slope angle to reach a speed of
40km/hr. Present your test results in a table and confirm that EV acceleration time is
the fastest on a flat road.
(Hint: You should use the equations and knowledge from the Week 2 Workshop.)
(ii) Develop a simplified EV drivetrain model with a Permanent Magnet Synchronous
Motor supplied from a DC source via a MOSFET full bridge 3-phase inverter. The
motor speed is controlled using the rotor field-oriented control (vector current control).
The EV model block of (i) is the load for the PMSM. An example of the developed
EV + drivetrain model is shown in Fig. 1. Note that the model in Fig. 1 is only an
example to give you a hint on how to connect various blocks. Please do not limit
yourself to the example model. You are more than welcome to build the model using
different blocks or in a different structure if you prefer. The red blocks are models you
must build by yourself using knowledge from this course. Do not use the Simulink
library block for these ones if they exist.
(iii) To test your controllers, accelerate the EV from 0 km/h to two speeds in steps: 1) X
km/h, X is the last two digits of your zID(if the last two digits are 00, use the first two
digit), and 2) 100 km/h. It can be done easily by using the“Step”block to set the speed
reference. For this task, consider a flat road. Include the simulation results in your
report. Your simulation results should show the acceleration process in the following
plots – (1) Current ia, ib, ic, (2) motor speed and speed reference (rpm), (3) motor
torque (Tm), (4) Vdq, (5) iq and reference iq , (6)id and reference id, (7) EV speed
(km/h), and (8) motor load torque(TmL). An example of the expected results is
provided in Fig. 2.
To build the EV drivetrain model, you will need knowledge of RFOC, PI controller, VSI,
synchronous motor drive, abc-to-dq transformation (Clarke and Park transformation) and its
inverse forms, MTPA and FW, etc.
MTPA/FW block and a few other key modules with appropriate settings are provided as an
unfinished Simulink model“ELEC4613_Tesla_Blocks”. You may choose to use the model
structure and blocks provided in this file if you do not want to build them from scratch, and
we recommend you to use the mtpa&Fldwkn block from this file. If you use the provided
blocks, you must use the parameter and variables names exactly as they are used in those
blocks. A list of the key parameters/variables that must be defined or calculated using a Matlab
file (.m) before running the Simulink model is provided in Table 1. Please note that a Simulink
model is a discrete-time digital system (even if you run it in the continuous time mode).
Therefore, you must set two sampling times: Ts and Tcs, as listed in Table 1.
Note that‘powergui’block must be used when Simulink’s Specialized Power System library
blocks such as PMSM and Universal Bridge are used in a model. This block allows you to set
the simulation either in continuous or discrete mode.

Note that Table 1 shows only key parameters. You will need to define other
parameters/variables, and you can name them as per your preference – as long as they do not
conflict with existing names and satisfy the Matlab variable name rules:

Equations and Sample Codes
You should find most of the equations from your lecture notes, workshops, and tutorials.
Additional equations that may not be covered are provided below:
You can use the following codes to calculate the controller constants of a discrete system
using the Pole Placement Method, especially if you use the discrete PI controller blocks
[PI(z)] in your simulation. Pole cancellation method with Bode plot that you learnt in Section
7 can also be used when you use PI controllers with continuous time [PI(s)].
