Disturbances Attenuation of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Drives Using Cascaded Predictive-Integral-Resonant Controllers

The performance of a standard model predictive controller (MPC) is directly related to its predictive model. If there are unmodeled periodic disturbances in the actual system, MPC will be difficult to suppress the disturbances, thus causing fluctuations of system output. To solve this problem, this paper proposes an improved MPC named predictive-integral-resonant control (PIRC). Compared with the standard MPC, the proposed PIRC could enhance the suppression ability for disturbances by embedding the internal model composing of the integral and resonant loop. Furthermore, this paper applies the proposed PIRC to PMSM drives, and proposes the PMSM control strategy based on the cascaded PIRC, which could suppress periodic disturbances caused by the dead time effects, current sampling errors, and so on. The experimental results show that the PIRC can suppress periodic disturbances in the drive system, thus ensuring good current and speed performance. Meanwhile, the PIRC could maintain the excellent dynamic performance as the standard MPC.
