The process needs to be cleaned up, but that has worked best. Another way is, I think I need to find the relationship between Id, Iq and RPM and load for all possible values (for a given AC voltage). Because that wouls be difficult, I'm trying to be content with only using Vd, Vq, Id, and Iq, since I have those.
Did you get the code posted to the WIKI?

Please excuse my thinking-while-typing style. I don't think that this method is any better than what you have already, except maybe using a variable instead of a constant 100 for subtracting from Id?

- would it make sense to clamp by limiting the PI output? I dislike having variables calculated in more than one location, but that's all I could think of.

Note really a quote, but I wanted it indented

Quote:
ShouldBeClamped = Kp*error + Ki*sumOfErrors;
if (ShouldBeClamped)>VdClamped /* this is too high, limit
{
sumOfErrors=(Vbus-(Kp*error))/Ki; /* calculate sumOfErrors
Id = Id - IdLimit; /* change Id so it can ramp up again
/* next time around
}

newVd = Kp*error + Ki*sumOfErrors.
How I think it works:

knocking down Id by 100 limits sumOfErrors
so the calculated Vd is lower
that's how you reset the I term of th PI loop, allowing it to ramp up again

But it's still bouncing off the high limit, and it still affects Vq. Unless your VdClamped leaves some headroom for Vq so the vector sum does not affect Vq very much.

I just added a variable instead of subtracting 100 from Id. Does this do the same thing you are doing already?
