Abstract
In this paper, a current optimization control method for reducing torque ripple in brushless dc drives using integral variable structure control (IVSC) is proposed. The conventional current control method will result in torque ripple if the back electromotive force (EMF) is a nonideal trapezoidal waveform. Based on back-EMF waveforms, the proposed method can optimize the reference currents in both two-phase conduction mode and commutation mode. A Luenberger full-order estimator is designed in order to estimate back-EMF waveforms. During commutation, commutation control with two-phase or three-phase switching mode is employed to reduce torque ripple by controlling the currents of noncommutated windings to trace the optimized reference current, and a three-phase inverter is switched between the two switching modes according to the current rate of change and the difference between the reference current and the actual current. Current controllers using IVSC, which exhibits broadband noise-suppressing capacity and strong robustness against external disturbances, are designed to obtain optimal phase currents, and the experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
