Abstract

In this thesis, an optimal multivariable current control method is presented for the highspeed permanent magnet synchronous motor (HS-PMSM). The HS-PMSMs have growing applications in the industry. One of their major challenges is the low switching to fundamental frequency ratio (SFR). At high speed and low SFR, the control time delays including the digital, the PWM, and sensor delays become more pronounced and lead to oscillations and even instabilities. A well-known method for delay compensation is to advance the phase angle of control input for a known amount. In practice, the exact delay is unknown, and mismatch in the compensating angle causes deteriorating effect on the system. In the proposed method, the digital and PWM delays are modelled and integrated with an optimal multivariable controller. This method improves the stability margin and achievable speed margin compared to the traditional phase advancing delay compensation (PADC) method. Combining the proposed delay modeling and the PADC method further improves the response, as the uncertain sensor delays can be compensated greatly. Besides the delay, the cross-coupling between ���� axis affects the dynamic performance of the machine. The proposed multivariable approach considers and directly addresses the coupling. Dynamic performance of the PMSM with the proposed method is thoroughly compared with the conventional delay compensation method. The proposed method is validated through extensive simulation studies on a 2 kW high-speed machine.
