The final project was modeling, control system design and implementation of a brushless AC drive. The modeling of the drive system was undertaken using Matlab / Simulink in conjunction with Power System Toolbox, and the realization of the drive control including pulse width modulation (PWM) was implemented using dSpace system. The control strategy developed was first being verified by performing hardware in loop (HIL) simulation before real-time implementation.
