Application of neural networks for permanent magnet synchronous motor direct torque control

Neural networks require a lot of training to understand the model of a plant or a process. Issues such as learning speed, stability, and weight convergence remain as areas of research and comparison of many training algorithms. The application of neural networks to control interior permanent magnet synchronous motor using direct torque control （DTC） is discussed. A neural network is used to emulate the state selector of the DTC. The neural networks used are the back-propagation and radial basis function.

Computer simulations of the motor and neural-network system using the two approaches are presented and compared. Discussions about the back-propagation and radial basis function as the most promising training techniques are presented, giving its advantages and disadvantages. The system using back-propagation and radial basis function networks controller has quick parallel speed and high torque response.

Short-circuit fault-tolerant control for five-phase fault-tolerant permanent magnet motors with trapezoidal back-EMF

When a short-circuit fault occurs in a phase,the faulty phase needs to be removed artificially from the system because of the loss of the capability to generate torque.In this case,both the short-circuit current and phase-loss fault would generate additional torque ripples.In this study,a novel fault-tolerant control strategy is introduced to achieve low torque ripple operation of five-phase fault-tolerant permanent magnet synchronous motors with trapezoidal back electromotive force(FTPMSM-TEMF)in the event of a short-circuit fault.The key concept of this method is to compensate for the torque ripples caused by the short-circuit current and the adverse effect of the phase-loss.Based on the torque expression under fault conditions,the torque ripple caused by the short-circuit current can be offset by injecting a certain pulsating component into the torque expression in the phase-loss condition.This would result in smooth operation under fault conditions.Moreover,to track the fault-tolerant alternating currents,the model of the deadbeat current predictive control is extended and restructured for the fault condition.The effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed fault-tolerant strategy are verified by experimental results.

Nonlinear Control of Interior PMSM Using Control Lyapunov Functions

In this paper, we introduce a non-linear torque control for an interior permanent-magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM). The nonlinear control is based on a Control Lyapunov Function (CLF) technique. The proposed stabilizing feedback law for the IPMSM drive is a damping control method and is shown to be globally asymptotically stable. The CLF method takes the system nonlinearities into account in the control system design stage. Such nonlinearities are due to the cross coupling between the q and the q currents in addition to the system parameters like the inductances and the flux linkages. The complete IPMSM drive incorporating the proposed CLF has been successfully simulated in a plant model for both motor and inverter. The performance of the proposed drive is investigated in simulation at different operating conditions. It is found that the proposed control technique provides a good torque control performance for the IPMSM drive ensuring the global stability. In later work, we are planning to investigate other phenomena such as magnetic saturation, nonlinear loads, mechanical friction and flexibilities.
