Adaptive Active Disturbance Rejection Control for Uncertain Current Ripples Suppression of PMSM Drives

Under complex working conditions, there are uncertain periodic and aperiodic disturbances in the current loop of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives. These uncertain disturbances can lead to uncertain current ripples, deteriorating the current loop performance. To deal with the problem, in this article, we propose an adaptive active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) for the current loop to suppress the uncertain current ripples. In the adaptive ADRC, the extended state observer is optimized by the adaptive resonant controller so that it can estimate both the uncertain periodic and aperiodic disturbances. Thus, the adaptive ADRC can suppress both the uncertain periodic and aperiodic disturbances to attenuate the uncertain current ripples in the current loop, and it does not need the disturbance information. In addition, the stability of the observer in the adaptive ADRC is systematically analyzed by the singular perturbation theory and the averaging theorem. Finally, the effectiveness of the adaptive ADRC is validated on a 2.2-kW PMSM platform.
