The implementation and experimental validation of current control strategy based on predictive control and equivalent input disturbance approach is discussed for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) control system in the paper. First, to realize the current decoupling control, the deadbeat predictive current control technique is adopted in the current loop of PMSM. Indeed, it is well known that the traditional deadbeat current control cannot completely reject the disturbance and realize the zero error current tracking control. Then, according to the model uncertainties and the parameter variations in the motor, an equivalent input disturbance approach is introduced to estimate the lump disturbance in the system, which will be used in the feed-forward compensation. Thus, a compound current controller is designed, and the proposed algorithm reduces the tracking error caused by the disturbance; the robustness of the drive system is improved effectively. Finally, simulation and experiment are accomplished on the control prototype, and the results show the effectiveness of the proposed current control algorithm.

Matrix converter is an AC-AC direct power converter comprising of an array of bi-directional switches. It does not require an intermediate DC-link and allows sinusoidal output waveforms with varying amplitudes and frequencies. The configuration of these bi-directional switches decides the number of inputs and outputs of the matrix converter. This research uses a direct matrix converter (DMC) as a phase-changing device that can convert a three-phase AC voltage into a 5-phase AC voltage. The DMC is modulated with the model predictive control algorithm. The output of DMC is fed to a five-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The model predictive current control technique for DMC is carried out by developing a mathematical model of an input filter and PM motor used as a load. The predictive control of DMC results in sinusoidal output current, and it also enables the frequency variation in the output current. This frequency variation is useful in controlling the speed of the motor connected to the load. After controlling the 5-phase motor, the switching frequency regulation is done to observe its effect on the motor's stator current waveforms. Switching frequency regulation helps to limit the unnecessary switching of DMC. We developed a MATLAB-based Simulink model to study PMSM, and detailed results are presented. The results show that switching regulation can significantly reduce the switching frequency without compromising the current waveform quality.

In high-precision machine tools, contour error at axis reversal can significantly reduce the quality of products. Resulting from non-linear friction behaviour, the reversal error is traditionally handled by the velocity controller, which highly relies on a high-performance current servo. However, the widely employed pulse width modulation (PWM) inverter in the power stage of the current servo operates with a severe non-linearity known as deadband. The deadband effect degrades the current-loop tracking performance and consequently hinders the velocity controller in responding to friction disturbances. The result is a significant and oscillatory tracking error, or contour error in a multiaxis system. Unlike other approaches where the deadband is compensated via measurement or estimation, a control system approach is proposed in this paper where the deadband is treated as a voltage perturbation in the current loop. The proposed scheme incorporates a feedforward signal from the current command and schedules the integral action in the current controller accordingly. The proposed scheme was implemented in digital servo drives of a commercial grinding machine. Experiments show that the proposed scheme is an effective and practical solution for this type of problem.

This paper proposes a fuzzy PI controller to control the speed of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The structure of the system includes the speed loop controller (SLC) and the current loop controller (CLC). The speed loop controller is the fuzzy PI and standard model (SM). The CLC includes vector control and the space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM). It compiles two closed-loop control systems for the PMSM. This research uses a very high-speed integrated circuit hardware description language (VHDL) to implement the proposed algorithm and embed it into Matlab/Simulink for simulation. Based on the PMSM parameter, this article tests the controller’s correctness with some of the load cases by changing the combined inertia and viscous friction of rotor and load. After success in simulation, the system is tested again by experiment on the FPGA kit. The simulation and experiment results show that when the load changes, the PMSM speed is still stable. The novelty of this research is that it compares two kinds of controllers between simulation and experiment results.

In the present study, the current control method of the model predictive control is applied to the field-oriented control induction motor. The augmentation model of the motor is initially established based on the stator current equation, which performs the current predictive control and formulates the new cost function by means of tracking error. Then, the influence of parameter error on the current control stability in the prediction model is analysed, and the current static error is corrected according to the correlation between the input and feedback. Finally, a simple and effective three-vector control strategy is proposed. Moreover, three adjacent basic voltage vectors are utilized, and then six candidate voltage vectors are synthesized in each sector to replace eight basic voltage vectors in the conventional model predictive control (MPC). The obtained results show that synthesized vectors, which have arbitrary amplitude and direction, significantly expand the coverage of the system’s control set, reduce the torque and flux pulsation in the conventional MPC, and improve the steady-state performance of the system. Finally, the dSPACE platform is employed to validate the performed experiment. It is concluded that the proposed method can reduce the torque and flux pulse, perform the induction motor current control, and improve the steady-state performance of the system.

This paper deals with efficient operation method for the electromechanical brake (EMB). A three-phase interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) is applied to the EMB operation. A current controller, speed controller, and position controller based on proportional-integral (PI) control are used to drive the IPMSM. Maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) control is applied to the current controller to perform efficient control. For MTPA control, the angle β is calculated from total input current, and the synchronous frame d–q axis current reference is determined by the angle β. The IPMSM is designed and analyzed with finite element analysis (FEA) software and current control is simulated by Matlab/Simulink using a motor model designed by FEA software. The simulation results were verified to compare with experimental results that are input current and clamping force of caliper. In addition, the experimental results showed that the energy consumption is reduced by MTPA.

This article represents the torque ripple performance of modular multilevel converter (MMC) fed brushless dc (BLDC) motor using different current control technique. For reducing the ripple current in BLDC motor, a phase-modulated model predictive control (PMMPC) technique has been proposed. The stator ripple current is almost negligible using PMMPC. This PMMPC current control method is a significant minimization of torque ripple in BLDC motor. A comparative torque ripple behaviour of MMC fed BLDC motor has been done using phase-modulated model predictive control, model predictive control (MPC) and proportional integral (PI) control at different switching frequency. It has been observed that a PMMPC current control technique is more efficient as compared to the MPC as well as PI current control technique. It has also been observed that the torque ripple performance is improved while using PMMPC as compared to the MPC and PI controller. Simulation results have been verified with the help of experimental result and these results are obtained in good agreement to the simulated results.

Deadbeat predictive current control (DBPCC) has the characteristic of fast current response, but it is sensitive to motor parameters. Observer-based DBPCC can eliminate the steady state current tracking error when parameter mismatch exists. However, the actual current will deviate from the reference current during transient state in the case of inductance mismatch. In this paper, a fast response robust deadbeat predictive current control (FRRDBPCC) method is proposed for surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM). Firstly, the current tracking error caused by inductance mismatch during transient state is analyzed in detail. Then, an extended state observer (ESO) is proposed to estimate the lumped disturbance caused by parameter mismatch. Based on discrete time ESO, the predicted currents are used to replace the sampled currents to compensate for one-step delay caused by calculation and sampling. Furthermore, an online inductance identification algorithm and a modified prediction model are proposed. The dq-axis currents can be completely decoupled by updating the inductance in the modified prediction model online, ensuring that the current can track the reference value in two control periods. The proposed method improves robustness against parameter mismatch and guarantees dynamic response performance simultaneously. The experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In a networked control system (NCS), time delays, uncertainties, packet losses, and exogenous disturbances seriously affect the control performance. To solve these problems, a modified disturbance suppression configuration of NCS was built. In the configuration, a proportional–integral observer (PIO) reproduces the state of a plant and reduces the observation error; an equivalent input disturbance (EID) estimator estimates and compensates for the disturbance in the control input channel. The stability conditions of the NCS are given by using a linear matrix inequality, and the gains of the PIO and state feedback controller are obtained. Numerical simulation results and an application of a magnetic levitation ball system verifies the effectiveness of the presented method. Comparison with the conventional PIO and EID methods shows that the presented method reduced the tracking error to about one-fifth and two-thirds of their original values, respectively. This demonstrates the validity and superiority of the presented method.

Two problems can cause control performance degradation on permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) systems, namely, fluctuation of PMSM parameters and the time delay between current sampling and command value update. In order to reduce the influence of these problems, a new current-predictive control strategy is proposed in this article for medium- and high-speed PMSM. This strategy is based on the discrete mathematical model of PMSM. This new control strategy consists of two main steps: First, an integrator is applied to calculate current compensation value; second, the predictive current value is obtained through deadbeat-current predictive method. The stability of predictive control system is also proved in the article. With this deadbeat-current predictive control scheme, the real current can reach the desired value within one control-step. Based on this new current control method, Luenberger observer and phase-locked loop position tracker is applied in this article. Experimental results for 0.4 kW surface-mounted PMSM confirm the validity and excellent performance for parameters fluctuation of new current predictive control.
