Model-free predictive flux vector control for N ∗ 3-Phase PMSM drives considering parameters mismatch

Abstract

This paper develops a novel model free-predictive flux vector control method (MF-PFVC) for high-performance stator flux and torque monitoring of the multi-module three-phase PMSM (N ∗ 3-Phase PMSM) drive with parameters mismatch. The proposed MF-PFVC method is based on a convenient combination of direct predictive torque control (PTC) and model free predictive control techniques. First, the voltage source inverter (VSI) vector control of N ∗ 3-Phase PMSM is determined by the three-segment stator windings structure. Then, the parameter mismatch sensitivity of the N ∗ 3-Phase PMSM drive system is analyzed based on the conventional PTC. Furthermore, a novel MF-PFVC method with multivariable unknown disturbance integral terminal sliding mode observer (SMO) is proposed for N ∗ 3-Phase PMSM drive, which can effectively enhance robustness against the parameters mismatch. Finally, compared with the conventional PTC, the simulation and experimental results of MF-PFVC method illustrated improved stator flux control performance concerning lower stator flux ripple as well as reduced torque ripple while it can eliminate the influence of parameter mismatch.
