PMSM Real-Time Vector Control (FOC) Simulation with Simulink

About this course

Important Note for StudentsThis course on Field Oriented Control (FOC) of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines (PMSM) is designed for learners with a foundation in control engineering or electrical drives. It is not for complete beginners.We still derive the equations, build the models, and design the controllers step by step. However, we do not write out every single algebraic step as in a textbook. Instead, some intermediate steps are intentionally left for you to complete — so you actively learn how to model the machines and design the controllers yourself.Each key result is then connected directly to Simulink implementations, showing you how control engineers design real drive systems. If you are new to motor control, this may feel challenging. But if you already have background in control systems or power electronics, this course will help you take your skills to the next level.The Only PMSM FOC Course That Engineers Use in PracticeMost courses explain Simulink blocks without showing how real control systems are designed. This course is different — you will learn how to design the architecture from the ground up, like engineers do in R&D labs.From Theory to Real-Time MasteryThis course isn’t for passive learners. It’s for future control engineers, EV developers, and robotics specialists who want to model, design, and implement working PMSM FOC systems — not just view diagrams.You won’t just learn what FOC is — you’ll build it, tune it, and simulate it under real-time constraints.What You Will Build and UnderstandStep by step, you’ll follow the same workflow used in industry and research:Model PMSM machines in α–β and d–q frames using mathematical foundations

Course objectives

• to enable learners to model and design PMSM FOC systems from the ground up
• to bridge theoretical knowledge with practical implementation using Simulink
