Discrete-time Sensorless Control Using new BS_SM Controller structure and VM_ SC MRAS Adaptive Speed Observer for The propulsion system of Ship

Abstract

In this paper, a (BS_SM) new Backstepping_ Sliding mode controll structure combined with a (VM_SC_ MRAS) improved stator current MRAS based on adaptive speed observer using neuron network and sliding mode are proposed to sensorless vector control for The propulsion system of Ship. The design of the controller is based on new BS and SM sructure to improve its performance and robustness. VM_SC_ MRAS improved adaptive speed observer is proposed to estimate the speed of propeller. The combination of BS-SM controller with VM_SC_MRAS adaptive speed observer can compensate for the uncertainties caused by the machine parameter variations, measurement errors, and load disturbances, improving dynamic performance and enhancing the robustness of the SPIM drive system, perfect tuning of the speed reference values, fast response of the motor current and torque, high accuracy of speed regulation. The simulation results lead to the conclusion that the proposed system for the propulsion system of ship is feasible. The simulation results on a test ship propelled showed that the proposed control approach operates satisfactorily
