Research on UDE Control Strategy for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors Based on Symmetry Principle

Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSMs) are central to high-performance servo drives, yet their control accuracy is often compromised by parameter uncertainties and external disturbances. While the Uncertainty and Disturbance Estimator (UDE) offers enhanced robustness by treating such uncertainties as lumped disturbances, it suffers from significant integral windup under output saturation, degrading dynamic response. This paper proposes a symmetry-principle-based UDE control strategy for the PMSM speed loop, which simplifies parameter tuning through derived analytical expressions for PI gains. To address the windup issue, two anti-windup algorithms are introduced and critically compared: a piecewise tracking back-calculation method and an integral final value prediction algorithm. The key finding is that the integral final value prediction algorithm demonstrates a superior performance. Simulation results show that it reduces the convergence time by 6.3 ms and the overshoot by 1.8% compared to the piecewise method. Experimental validation on an STM32F446-based platform confirms these findings. Under a 600 r/min step with load, the UDE controller with the integral final value prediction algorithm reduces speed overshoot by 15% compared to the piecewise algorithm and by 47% compared to the standard UDE controller without anti-windup. These results conclusively show that the proposed integrated strategy—combining symmetry-based UDE control with the integral final value prediction anti-windup algorithm—significantly improves the dynamic response, accuracy, and robustness of PMSM servo systems.

Abstract

Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSMs) are central to high-performance servo drives, yet their control accuracy is often compromised by parameter uncertainties and external disturbances. While the Uncertainty and Disturbance Estimator (UDE) offers enhanced robustness by treating such uncertainties as lumped disturbances, it suffers from significant integral windup under output saturation, degrading dynamic response. This paper proposes a symmetry-principle-based UDE control strategy for the PMSM speed loop, which simplifies parameter tuning through derived analytical expressions for PI gains. To address the windup issue, two anti-windup algorithms are introduced and critically compared: a piecewise tracking back-calculation method and an integral final value prediction algorithm. The key finding is that the integral final value prediction algorithm demonstrates a superior performance. Simulation results show that it reduces the convergence time by 6.3 ms and the overshoot by 1.8% compared to the piecewise method. Experimental validation on an STM32F446-based platform confirms these findings. Under a 600 r/min step with load, the UDE controller with the integral final value prediction algorithm reduces speed overshoot by 15% compared to the piecewise algorithm and by 47% compared to the standard UDE controller without anti-windup. These results conclusively show that the proposed integrated strategy—combining symmetry-based UDE control with the integral final value prediction anti-windup algorithm—significantly improves the dynamic response, accuracy, and robustness of PMSM servo systems.
