THD Reduction for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Using Simulated Annealing

Abstract

Any nonlinear behavior of the system is analyzed by a useful way of Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) technique. Reduced THD achieves lower peak current, higher efficiency and longer equipment life span. Simulated annealing (SA) is applied due to the effectiveness of locating solutions that are close to ideal and to challenge large-scale combinatorial optimization for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine (PMSM). The parameters of direct torque controllers (DTC) for the drive are automatically adjusted by the optimization algorithm. Advantages of the PI-Fuzzy-SA algorithm are retained when used together. It also improves the rate of system convergence. Speed response improvement and harmonic reduction is achieved with SA-based DTC for PMSM. This mechanism is known to be faster than other algorithms. Also, it is observed that as compared to other algorithms, the projected algorithm yields a reduced total harmonic distortion. As a result of the employment of Space Vector Modulation (SVM) technique, the system is resistant to changes in motor specifications and load torque. Through MATLAB & Simulink simulation, the experiment is done and the performance is calculated for the controller.
