A Robust Deadbeat Predictive Controller With Delay Compensation Based on Composite Sliding-Mode Observer for PMSMs

This article proposes an improved deadbeat predictive controller for permanent-magnet synchronous motor drive systems. It can eliminate the influence of the parameter mismatch of inductance, resistance, and flux linkage. First, the performance of the conventional predictive current method is investigated to analyze sensitivities of the electric parameters. Then, a composite sliding-mode disturbance observer (SMDO) based on the stator current and lumped disturbance is proposed, which can simultaneously estimate the future current value and lumped disturbance caused by the parameter mismatch of inductance, resistance, and flux linkage. Based on the discrete-time SMDO, currents are estimated and used to replace the sampled values to compensate one-step delay caused by the calculation and sampling delay. Both simulation and experimental performances of the proposed method have been validated and compared with the conventional control methods under different conditions. The comparison results show the superiority of the proposed predictive current control method based on the composite SMDO.
