Model predictive control of direct-driven surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous generator based on active disturbance rejection controller

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to mainly discuss how to suppress the disturbances accurately and effectively in the wind energy conversion system (WECS) of the direct drive surface mount permanent magnet synchronous generator (SPMSG).

Design/methodology/approach

The disturbances in wind energy conversion system have seriously negative influence on the maximum power tracking performance. Therefore, a model predictive control (MPC) method of model compensation active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) strategy in parallel connection is designed, which optimizes the speed tracking performance compared with the existing control strategy of MPC and ADRC in series connection. Based on the traditional ADRC, a multi parameter model compensation ADRC strategy is added to better estimate the disturbances. At the same time, a torque feedback strategy is added to compensate the disturbances caused by load torque and further optimize the speed loop tracking performance.

Findings

The simulation results show that the designed control method has advantages than the traditional control method in compensating the disturbances and tracking the maximum power more effectively.

Originality/value

The simulation results show that the designed control method is superior to the traditional proportional control method, which can better compensate the internal and external disturbances and track the maximum power more effectively.
