Combined Vector Resonant and Active Disturbance Rejection Control for PMSLM Current Harmonic Suppression

A control method that combines a vector resonant controller and an active disturbance rejection control controller is proposed in this study for suppressing the current harmonics of permanent magnet synchronous linear motors. First, the resonant controller is improved by changing its transfer function so that it can suppress current harmonics better. Then, an active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) is designed to suppress the parameter disturbance of motors, which will adversely affect the improved resonant controller. The parameter disturbance is estimated by an extended state observer, and linear feedback control is used for disturbance compensation. The ADRC and the improved resonant controller work together to not only suppress harmonics but also improve resistance against system disturbance. Finally, a linear motor control platform is built, experimental results are presented to verify the significance and correctness of the proposed approach.
