The speed control of PMLSM with discontinuous driving coils based on multi-loop DOB model.

ABSTRACT

A permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM) with discontinuous driving coils potentially applied in the underground pipeline freight delivery system is introduced in this article. Firstly, the detailed structure of the PMLSM with discontinuous driving coils is designed and presented, and the dynamic models of the PMLSM during three different processes are developed. In addition, based on the proportional-integral (PI) and the adaptive disturbance observer (DOB), a multi-loop control strategy is designed for the PMLSM with discontinuous driving coils. The critical performances of PMLSM, such as the speed precision and anti-disturbance ability, are testified in the experiment, and the results validate that the multi-loop control model with adaptive DOB used in the PMLSM with discontinuous driving coils has better speed precision than the PI+PI model by suppressing the detent force.
