Abstract

This paper deals with the problem of robust speed control of electrical servodrives.

A robust speed controller is developed using an artificial neural network (ANN), which creates a nonlinear characteristic of controller. An original method of neural controller synthesis is presented.

The synthesis procedure is performed in two stages. The first stage consists in training the ANN and at the second stage controller settings are adjusted.

INTRODUCTION(1/5)

One of the well-known methods to achieve robustness is the sliding mode control (SMC) [1], [6], [12], [13].

However, SMC creates some problems in practical applications due to chattering effects, such as high-frequency oscillation of motor torque, additional mechanical stresses, and noise during operation.

Many solutions have been proposed [1]–[3], [5], [6],[12], [13] to circumvent the problem mentioned above, among them one of the best is a continuous SMC [6], [12], [13].

INTRODUCTION(2/5)

The problem of servodrive control robustness seems to be the actual research task.

In this filed, interesting solutions can be obtained by the application of computational intelligence methods like fuzzy logic control (FLC) or artificial neural network (ANN) control [2],[8]

In this paper, an ANN controller is proposed which due to its specific feature and training ability enables an elaborate transparent synthesis procedure.

INTRODUCTION(3/5)

The robust speed controller proposed in this paper is based on the introduction of ANN into the structure of the PI speed controller[7].

Robustness is achieved by creating proper nonlinear characteristics of the controller by ANN.

The original feature of this synthesis procedure consists of its decomposition into two stages and consideration of declared range of parameter variation in training procedure and controller settings adjustment.

INTRODUCTION(4/5)

The first stage consists in training the ANN to form the proper shape of the control surface, which represents the nonlinear characteristic of the controller.

At the second stage, the PI controller settings are adjusted by means of the random weight change (RWC) procedure [4] which optimizes the control quality index formulated in this paper.

Fig. 1 presents the structure of the servodrive control system.

CONCEPT OF THE ROBUST SPEED CONTROLLER(1/10)

The proposed robust speed controller consists of three blocks:a module of input signal conversion, an ANN module, and a module of output signal generation.

The controller structure is shown in Fig. 2.

A.Controller Structure

10


The process of neural controller synthesis is decomposed into two stages:(1) synthesis of an ANN (selecting structure and weight coefficients in activation functions);(2) adjusting PI controller settings.

The structure shown in Fig. 3 was obtained by trial and error during numerous simulation tests.


11



12


Weight coefficients in the activation function are selected during the process of training the ANN.

For the training, a pattern speed response of the controlled system is assumed.

This pattern speed response [Fig. 4(a)] is created as a step response of a simplified model of the servodrive speed control system presented in Fig. 4(b).

B.Training Procedure

13



14


For the block diagram presented in Fig. 4(b), one can introduce an equivalent gain coefficient kω, which is described as

where kωmax and kωmix are the assumed maximum and minimum values of the variable parameter


15


The pattern waveform of the transient process is divided into 200 time steps. At each step(k) the speed value and its derivative is calculated, which results in a pair of input signals e(k),de/dt(k) for the ANN.

The required output controller signal, the value diq/dt(k), is calculated from (3) to (5) where JΣ/Ko is equal to 1/kω according to (1).


16


The learning error QL,determined from (6), reaches a smaller value than the arbitrary selected acceptable value


17


At the second stage of the controller synthesis, an adjustment of two controller settings: the gain coefficient kp and the integral time constant Ti is performed.

The criterion Qc (quality index) assumed for controller optimization, described by formula (10), contains a sum of three components

C. Controller Settings Adjustment

18


All three components characterize the step response of speed control, which is shown in Fig. 5.

SIMULATION RESULTS(1/10)

The simulation technique was used for training the ANN and testing the control system operation. As mentioned above, the PMSM was assumed as a good representative of servodirve.

The model is written in the d-q rotating frame

A. Model Description

20


The model of the PMSM and the control system was performed in MATLAB. Data of the investigated drive are given in Table III.

These tests were performed for different values of kω. For simplicity of PVR determination, only variation of the total moment of inertia was assumed.

The simulation results are presented in Figs. 6–8.

B. Influence of Quality Index Components on Controller Operation

21



22



23



24


Such analysis can be made on the basis of results collected in Table I. For transient process, the same is presented in Figs. 6–8, the ISE(Qo) value was measured for different inertia.

The value of ISE calculated in reference to its assumed maximum value using formula (12) is treated as an index(Qo) which helps to evaluate obtained robustness


25



26


The proposed method gives a chance to make a synthesis of the robust speed controller with assumption of different range of drive parameter variation determined by the value of PVR.

To analyze the influence of assumed different values of PVR on control properties some additional test were done.

The robust controller settings were adjusted during synthesis process for following values of PVR: 2, 8, and 32. Figs. 9

C. Influence of PVR Value

27



28


This effect is better visible comparing values of index Qo and settling time collected in Table II.


29

EXPERIMENT RESULTS(1/4)

The laboratory setup consists of a PMSM supplied from a PWM transistor inverter and controlled by the floating-point signal processor ADSP–21061.

Some results of the laboratory tests are shown in Figs. 10 and 11. During the tests, the total value of the moment of inertia of the drive was changed from small to large.

CONCLUSION

The presented investigation results confirm that the proposed speed controller of PI type with proper nonlinear characteristics allows to obtain the robustness of speed control against the variations of the moment of inertia and torque constant.

These nonlinear controller characteristics were effectively achieved using an ANN application.

Finally, it must be remarked that the cost of obtained robustness is visible in the reduction of dynamic properties of the drive.
