Code Explanation:-
This MATLAB script is designed to generate a 3D
efficiency map for a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor
(PMSM) based on specified motor parameters and
operating conditions.
Motor Parameters: Stator resistance (R)Stator inductance
(L)Back EMF constant (Kb)Moment of inertia (J)Friction
coefficient (B).
Operating Conditions: Speed, torque, and current ranges are
defined with a specified number of points. Speed is
converted from RPM to radians per second.
Efficiency Calculation: The script utilizes nested loops to
iterate over the specified ranges of speed, torque, and
current. At each iteration, the voltage, electrical power in
(Pin), mechanical power out (Pout), and efficiency are
calculated. The calculated efficiencies are stored in a 3D
matrix, forming the efficiency map
.Visualization: A 3D scatter plot is generated using the
efficiency map data. The x, y, and z axes represent torque,
speed, and current, respectively. Each point on the plot
represents a combination of speed, torque, and current, and
its colour corresponds to the calculated efficiency. Labels
and a colorbar are added to enhance the interpretability of
the visualization. Fig.2. 3D Graphical Out-put of Code.
Insights: The resulting 3D efficiency map provides insights
