Improved Model-Free Deadbeat Predictive Current Controller for PMSMs Based on Ultralocal Model and H∞ Norm

Abstract

This article proposes an improved model-free deadbeat predictive current control (MFCC) method for permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) based on the ultralocal model and H∞ norm. Firstly, the traditional deadbeat predictive current control (DPCC) method is introduced and a theoretical analysis is conducted on its sensitivity to parameters. Building upon this, the limitations of model dependence and the limited robustness of the deadbeat predictive current control method based on the extended state observer (ESO-DPCC) are theoretically analyzed. Furthermore, an improved MFCC method based on the ultralocal model is proposed, and the influence of the observer on MFCC is theoretically analyzed. This study combined the proposed method with the H∞ norm, and the optimal coefficients of the observer were tuned to enhance the robustness and dynamic performance of the current loop. Finally, the proposed algorithms were validated on a 400 W PMSM platform.
