Abstract

In order to optimize the current-control performance of the permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) system with model parameter mismatch and one-step control delay, an improved deadbeat predictive current control (DPCC) algorithm for the PMSM drive systems is proposed in this paper. First, the performance of the conventional predictive current control, when parameter mismatch exist, is analyzed, and then a stator current and disturbance observer (SCDO) based on sliding-mode exponential reaching law, which is able to simultaneously predict future value of stator current and track system disturbance caused by parameter mismatch in real time, is proposed. Based on this SCDO, prediction currents are used for replacing the sampled current in DPCC to compensate one-step delay, and estimated parameter disturbances are considered as the feedforward value to compensate the voltage reference calculated by deadbeat predictive current controller. Thus, a composite control method combining the DPCC part and current prediction and feedforward compensation part based on SCDO, called DPCC + SCDO method, is developed. Moreover, based on conventional exponential reaching law, a novel sliding-mode exponential reaching law is proposed to further improve the performance of the DPCC + SCDO method. Simulation and experimental results both show the validity of the proposed current control approach.
