Robust Speed Control of Electrical Drives with Reduced Ripple Using Adaptive Switching High-order Extended State Observer

Active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) using extended state observer (ESO) is less dependent on the knowledge of the system. It has proved to be an excellent scheme for speed control of electrical drives. However, for time-varying disturbance, the observation precision of conventional ESO is undesired which limits the speed tracking accuracy. Accordingly, this paper proposes an enhanced speed controller for electrical drives based on adaptive switching high-order ESO (ASHESO). Firstly, the critical parameters affecting the steady-state performance of ASHESO are determined according to frequency analytical results. Then, optimized observer gain is obtained by modifying a part of pole locations, which weakens the influence of noise on estimated state. Finally, an adaptive switching gain mechanism is proposed according to the closed-loop tracking error and the swiftness of dynamic response is maintained. The proposed speed controller has achieved high estimation accuracy for disturbance and strong immunity to measurement noise. The feasibility and effectiveness of the strategy is verified on a laboratory PMSM drive system.
