Parks Transformation for Space Vector Control

The two axis transformation used in synchronous machine (and other three phase machines) analysis can be utilized for decoupled control of power converters. Decoupled control loops for real power and reactive power can be created, by controlling quantities in individual axes. For example, reactive power might be controlled by controlling the current in one axis. Reference

Note that this assumes peak quantites.

Some people refer to the stationary reference frame direct and quadrature axis quantities as and quantities. We can also write that: 1 (2va vb vc ) 3 1 = (vb vc ) 3

f = fd = f = fq

Note also, that f0 is just a scaled version of the zero sequence term from symmetrical components.

Transformation to rotating reference frame

In other cases, the transformation is taken a step further, and control is done in a rotating reference frame, that is turned at the system frequency (determined by a frequency tracking algorithm). The direct and quadrature axis components are now constants in steady-state.
