Finite set model predictive control of permanent magnet synchronous motor current based on super twisting sliding...

This paper proposes a current model predictive control strategy for the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) based on a novel sliding mode observer to reduce the cost of PMSM and ensure good tracking performance. A super twisting sliding mode observer (STSMO) is designed to address the issues of high-frequency chattering and noise sensitivity caused by the large positive gain of traditional SMO. The discontinuous effect of the traditional SMO switching function is introduced into the derivative of the control rate, and a smooth estimate of the back electromotive force (EMF) is obtained through integration. Replace the sign function with a sigmoid function with smooth continuity to further reduce the chattering effect. To enhance the dynamic performance of the PMSM current loop, a finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) strategy is employed in place of the conventional PI controller. Within each sampling period, all possible switching states are evaluated, and the optimal one is selected and directly applied to the inverter. Additionally, a dual-vector model predictive current control (DVMPCC) method is adopted to reduce current ripple. This approach synthesizes a voltage vector with arbitrary magnitude and direction by combining two voltage vectors within each sampling period. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed sensorless PMSM predictive current control method achieves high accuracy in speed estimation and excellent dynamic response performance.
