Abstract
This article presents an improved linear active disturbance rejection control (LADRC) method for interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) drives. The proposed method adopts a dual LADRC structure. The outer LADRC-based speed regulator adopts position feedback instead of speed feedback so that the low-pass filter for speed calculation can be eliminated. The inner LADRC-based current regulator incorporates a maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) operation scheme to improve the torque output capacity and the efficiency of the motor. In addition, considering the variation of load inertia in real applications, a systematic modelling and analysis on the effect of inertia mismatch is presented. To enhance the robustness of the drive system to inertia mismatch, an inertia identification method is proposed, in which the inertia information is extracted from the estimated disturbance of speed loop LESO. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified on a 1.0-kW IPMSM drive platform.
