Design of a PMSM Field-Oriented Control Algorithm with Flux-Weakening for Battery Electric Vehicles: The main argument of the thesis is the design of a Field-Oriented Control algorithm with Flux-Weakening for aPermanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The development of the controller is based on LabVIEW FPGA language, using a model-based approach to create the block scheme and to run the autogenerated code on the Engine Control Unit SPARK of Alma Automotive. The realized control strategy is focused on possible automotive applications, discussing and facing in particular the issues related to battery electric vehicles (BEVs).For this project, both interior permanent magnet and surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous machines have been considered, analysing their behaviour with a torque-loop and a speed-loop control mechanism.
