Flux Immunity Robust Predictive Current Control With Incremental Model and Extended State Observer for PMSM Drive

A robust predictive current control algorithm for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives is proposed. The robust controller adopts an incremental system model, thus can operate without knowing the rotor flux, which is a pivotal parameter in conventional dead-beat control. The incremental model is easy to implement compared with relevant flux identification algorithms or observers. The robust controller adopts an extended state observer (ESO) to enhance inductance robustness to cater for the divergence caused by stator inductance mismatch. The inductance mismatch uncertainties can be estimated and compensated by ESO. Conventional dead-beat control is modified for multistep prediction to achieve high disturbance rejection. Detailed stability and disturbance rejection analysis are conducted theoretically, and rules on parameter selection are given. Comparative simulations and experimentations verify the effectiveness and superiority of proposed robust control over conventional dead-beat control.
