The gym-electric-motor (GEM) package is a Python toolbox for the simulation and control of various electric motors. It is built upon OpenAI Gym Environments, and, therefore, can be used for both, classical control simulation and reinforcement learning experiments. It allows you to construct a typical drive train with the usual building blocks, i.e., supply voltages, converters, electric motors and load models, and obtain not only a closed-loop simulation of this physical structure, but also a rich interface for plugging in any decision making algorithm, from linear feedback control to Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient agents.
An easy way to get started with GEM is by playing around with the following interactive notebooks in Google Colaboratory. Most important features of GEM as well as application demonstrations are showcased, and give a kickstart for engineers in industry and academia.
There is a list of standalone example scripts as well for minimalistic demonstrations.
A basic routine is as simple as:
import gym_electric_motor as gem
if __name__ == '__main__':
env = gem.make("Finite-CC-PMSM-v0") # instantiate a discretely controlled PMSM
env.reset()
for _ in range(10000):
env.render() # visualize environment
(states, references), rewards, done, _ =\
env.step(env.action_space.sample()) # pick random control actions
if done:
(states, references) = env.reset()
env.close()
- Install gym-electric-motor from PyPI (recommended):
pip install gym-electric-motor
- Install from Github source:
git clone [email protected]:upb-lea/gym-electric-motor.git
cd gym-electric-motor
# Then either
python setup.py install
# or alternatively
pip install -e .
A GEM environment consists of following building blocks:
- Physical structure:
- Supply voltage
- Converter
- Electric motor
- Load model
- Utility functions for reference generation, reward calculation and visualization
Among various DC-motor models, the following AC motors - together with their power electronic counterparts - are available:
- Permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM),
- Synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM)
- Squirrel cage induction motor (SCIM)
- Doubly-fed induction motor (DFIM)
The converters can be driven by means of a duty cycle (continuous control set) or switching commands (finite control set).

To run the unit tests ''pytest'' is required. All tests can be found in the ''tests'' folder. Execute pytest in the project's root folder:
>>> pytest
or with test coverage:
>>> pytest --cov=./
All tests shall pass.
