Description
Summary:Interior permanent magnet synchronous motors (IPMSMs) are usually used in electric vehicle drives and in other applications. In order to enlarge the speed range of IPMSMs, the flux-weakening control method is adopted. The traditional flux-weakening control strategy degrades the control performance because of parameter mismatches caused by variation of motor parameters. An improved uncertainty and disturbance estimator (UDE)-based flux-weakening control strategy is proposed for IPMSM drives in this paper. The parameter tuning method in the UDE-based control is improved. In addition, a flux-weakening adjusting factor is put forward to reduce the torque fluctuation when the operation point switches between the constant torque region and the flux-weakening region. This factor can be adjusted online by a lookup table. Finally, the validity of proposed method is verified by the simulation and experimental results. The results show that the proposed control strategy can effectively enhance the robustness of the system in the flux-weakening region, and make the system switch more smoothly between the constant torque region and the flux-weakening region.
