Abstract

To enhance robustness and dynamic performance of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives at high speeds, a deadbeat predictive current control method based on a predictive disturbance suppression model (DPCC-PDSM) is proposed. First, the mathematical model of the PMSM and the principle of traditional deadbeat predictive current control (DPCC) are presented. Second, to estimate and compensate disturbance effects caused by external uncertainties, a predictive disturbance suppression model is designed by integrating the recursive least squares (RLS) algorithm with an extended state observer (ESO). Furthermore, leading angle flux weakening control strategy is incorporated into the predictive control framework to overcome voltage and current limitations in high-speed operation. Finally, the stability and effectiveness of the proposed method are validated through experiments. The results demonstrate that the DPCC-PDSM significantly improves robustness and ensures stable and reliable performance of PMSM drives in high-speed flux weakening operation.
