An Improved Deadbeat Predictive Current Control Scheme for Open-Winding Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors Drives With Disturbance Observer

Abstract

To improve the performance of open-winding permanent magnet synchronous motors (OW-PMSMs) with a common dc bus, a novel control method that can simultaneously eliminate parameter mismatch in the d -axis, q -axis, and zero-sequence loop (ZSL) is proposed. First, the parameter mismatches are analyzed. Second, an extended state observer (ESO), which can predict the current in the next instant and the disturbance caused by parameter mismatch, is established. By combining the ESO and the deadbeat predictive current control (DPCC) in the d -axis and q -axis, replacing the sampled current in the DPCC with the predictive current in the ESO, and considering predictive disturbance as a voltage reference feedforward compensation, one-step delay and the disturbance caused by parameter mismatch are addressed. Then, in the ZSL, the predicted zero-sequence disturbance is considered as a compensation for the reference zero-sequence voltage (ZSV). The ZSV is obtained using the zero-voltage vector redistribution strategy in alternate subhexagonal center pulsewidth modulation strategy. The proposed method enhances the robustness of OW-PMSM, against parameter mismatch in the d -axis, q -axis, or ZSL. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, simulation and experimental results obtained using the traditional DPCC method and the ESO+DPCC method are presented herein.
