Development of intelligent hybrid controller for torque ripple minimization in electric drive system with adaptive flux estimator: An experimental case study.

In order to ensure optimal performance of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) across many technical applications, it is imperative to minimize torque fluctuations and reduce total harmonic distortion (THD) in stator currents. Hence, this study proposes the utilization of an adaptive flux est...

description In order to ensure optimal performance of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) across many technical applications, it is imperative to minimize torque fluctuations and reduce total harmonic distortion (THD) in stator currents. Hence, this study proposes the utilization of an adaptive flux estimator (AFE) in conjunction with an Intelligent Hybrid Controller (IHC) to mitigate the ripples and total harmonic distortion (THD). The IHC system is constructed by integrating PI and fuzzy logic controllers (FLC) in a cascade configuration, alongside a new switching unit that facilitates automatic switching between the two controllers during various operations of the PMSM. AFE estimates accurate flux which is required to achieve ripple free high dynamic performance of the PMSM drive by using a limiter to fix the flux at reference flux value of the drive. The proposed controller with AFE has achieved its originality through the refinement of membership functions located at the center of the universe of discourse (UOD) and the enhancement of the switching function. These improvements have resulted in increased sensitivity in the proximity to the reference speed. The Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) demonstrates superior performance when operating in a transient state, whereas the Proportional-Integral (PI) controller of the proposed system exhibits satisfactory performance under steady-state situations. The efficacy of AFE with IHC is substantiated by the simulation and experimental analysis reported in this study. A significant reduction in both total harmonics distortion (THD) and torque ripples are found.
