Abstract

The control system of PMa-SynRMs (Permanent Magnet-assisted Synchronous Reluctance Machines) exhibit susceptibility to external disturbances, thereby emphasizing the utmost significance of employing an observer to effectively observe and suppress system disturbances. Meanwhile, disturbances in load are sensitive to control system noise, which may be introduced from current sensors, hardware circuit board systems, sensor-less control, and analog position sensors. To tackle these problems, this paper proposes an A-DESO (anti-disturbance extended state observer) to improve the dynamic performance, noise suppression, and robustness of PMa-SynRMs in both the constant torque and FW (flux weakening) regions. With the proposed A-DESO, lumped disturbance in torque could be detected, and speed could be extracted in position with unmeasurable noise. Thanks to the merits of the small observation error in the low-frequency region and the excellent anti-disturbance performance in the high-frequency region of the proposed A-DESO, the control of the PMa-SynRM features the advantages of a fast response and good noise immunity ability within the same observation error range. The proposed A-DESO presents a shorter convergence time and a better noise suppression ability, which leads to a better dynamic response of the PMa-SynRM when encountering an unknown load disturbance compared to the traditional ESO-based control, according to simulations and experiments.
