Abstract

This paper presents a novel oversampling deadbeat current control approach for permanent magnet synchronous motor drives capable of operating at a controller sampling frequency multiple of the power converter switching frequency. Model-based controllers suffer from heavy computational demand and performance degradation due to parameter uncertainties. The proposed controller concurrently with field-programmable gate array implementation permits to achieve a constant switching frequency and an optimal current ripple along with a high current-loop bandwidth and robust behavior to parameter variation. A disturbance observer has been added to the proposed controller in order to compensate for the converter voltage distortions. The proposed control strategy is tested through both simulations and experiments.

Highlights

  • In the field of variable-speed AC drives Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSMs), compared to other motor types like induction motors, offer several advantages

  • For clarity and simplicity, a standard proportional integral (PI) controller has been used for the speed loop

  • The PMSM is fed by a two level IGBT converter while the control board specification can be found in [22]

Summary

INTRODUCTION

In the field of variable-speed AC drives PMSMs, compared to other motor types like induction motors, offer several advantages. Previous work has been done combining the DB controller with a standard PI to reduce the performance deterioration due to voltage non-linearities and parameters mismatches [7], while in [5] the control sensitivity from model uncertainties is reduced by introducing a disturbance observer for the DB controller. The proposed oversampling approach increase the robustness to machine parameters variation, on the other hand it introduces a distortion in the control voltages fed into the PWM. To eliminate this behaviour a compensation strategy has been developed and successfully validated.
