Predictive Current Control of Sensorless Linear Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor

In the vector control system of a tubular oscillating permanent magnet synchronous linear motor, it is difficult to obtain accurate feedback information from the conventional mechanical sensors under bad and complex working conditions. This paper presents a new predictive current control designed to estimate the speed of the tubular oscillation permanent magnet synchronous linear motor. It implements two control techniques: The first technique is using the sliding-mode observer's speed observer for speed estimation. The second is to design a deadbeat predictive current control to replace the PI regulator in the conventional current loop; it solves the difficulties of global optimization and PI parameter setting. The simulation and experimental results show that this method gives a good dynamic performance.
