An adaptive current control scheme for PWM synchronous motor drives: analysis and simulation

摘要

Two schemes for controlling the motor currents in PWM (pulse-width-modulated) inverters in synchronous motor drives are considered: hysteresis control and predictive control. It is pointed out that the system static and dynamic performance can be improved by selecting the control mode in an adaptive manner according to the operating conditions. In steady state, the predictive mode is selected to reduce current ripple and to obtain stable switching frequency. During large transients, such as during starting or load variations, the hysteresis mode is selected to provide fast response. The performance of the proposed controls scheme has been studied by simulation, and the results agree well with the prediction. This adaptive control scheme can be implemented using a high-performance 16-bit microcontroller supported by a mathematical coprocessor.
