12 Reasons for Industrial Applications of Drives with encoderless Control: Cost???? Reliability Robustness is encoderless (sensorless) resulting in additional cost??? Page 12

13 Industrial Drives with Sensorless Control since several years / decades sensorless control is investigated and published on conferences and magazines - acceptance in industry, however, is rather low Why? new ideas and concepts are interesting for industry, only if they do not result in higher cost or higher effort!!! What does that mean for industrial drives with sensorless control? no additional or more powerful processors / controllers no additional hardware or additional sensors (e. g. voltage this sensors) was valid no increased installation effort with respect to parameter from adjustments 2000 to 2010 Page 13

14 Industrial Drives with Sensorless Control since several years / decades sensorless control is investigated and published on conferences and magazines - acceptance in industry, however, is rather low Why? new ideas and concepts are interesting for industry, only if they do not result in higher cost or higher effort!!! What does that mean for industrial drives with sensorless control? single scheme for wide speed range (no phase over) no additional noise (except usual noise by inverter supply) insensitivity with respect to parameter variations What does industry think today? Page 14

15 Industrial Drives with Sensorless Control Actual Requirements from Industry there should be a single concept for encoderless control for the complete speed range (from standstill to maximum speed) single scheme for wide speed range (no phase over) in case there is a signal to be injected for speed/position detection no additional noise this should not cause any additional noise - except usual noise caused by inverter supply with standard PWM parameters of electrical machine and/or power elctronics should not impact the performance of encoderless control too much (a certain impact is acceptable) insensitivity with respect to parameter variations Page 15

19 Fundamental model based position estimation when knowing voltage (by reference values) as well as current (by real values) it is possible to estimate rotor speed and rotor position Page 19

20 Calculation of Speed by Fundamental Model is not Practicable for Very Low Speeds... because the voltage signal becomes very small errors between real voltage and values used for calculation cannot be avoided and become more significant DC components of these errors let the integrators for flux calculation drift away the calculated speed gets more and more incorrect is an encoder/resolver the only feasable solution??

24 Stationary Signal Injection Method according to R. Lorenz, S.-K. Sul, R. Kennel, etc. the basic idea is to use the electrical machine itself as a resolver!!! a resolver is nothing else but an electrical machine can we operate the motor itself like a resolver? if the machine itself is a resolver (encoder) is that really an encoderless control??? now we do the same with an electrical AC machine Page 24

49 Results the tracking control scheme presented here synchronizes on the saturation anisotropy of a synchronous machine. the tracking control scheme is not depending on any machine parameter. the size of additional software for the tracking control is comparable to the software of a rotor model for the field oriented control of an induction machine. the high frequency current signal can be measured together with the fundamental current by the standard current transducers of a standard drive inverter.

50 Practical Experience with an Industrial Servo Drive Implementation of a sensorless control into a servo drive of training of a development engineer 2 x 1 week in our laboratory programming of additional software in manufacturer s factory delivery of prototype after ca. 3 months presentation on Hanover Fair in April 2006 Page 50

51 meanwhile : more industrial applications WEG (Brazil) as mentioned before BAUMÜLLER same experiences as WEG TRÜTZSCHLER successful application in textile machinery YASKAWA successful implementation in one product two more companies who do not want to be mentioned ABM Greiffenberger advertising actively on SPS/IPC/Drives 2010 Page 51

52 some more experiences Bolognani reported (in 2006?) saturation in q direction increases under load difference between l cq and l cd decreases... and vanishes at a certain load (armature reaction) an encoderless tracking of the anisotropy does not work any more this effect appears around 2 to 3 times rated load with IPM motors around 5 to 6 times rated load with SMPM motors Page 52

53 Accuracy of the Rotor Position Identification under Load Conditions a) without load b) rated load (carrier frequency f c = 2 khz) why is the armature reaction so small??? Page 53

54 Accuracy of the Rotor Position Identification under Load Conditions... because the usual rotor designs of servo motors (mechanical holes for inertia reduction) do not allow a load depending displacement of the main field why is the armature reaction so small??? Page 54

56 Typical Cascaded Structure of Drive Control ϕ position controller speed controller current controller power motor inertia gear etc. electronics windings I ω ϕ Page 56

57 Problems of Linear Algorithms in cascaded control structures speed control must be much faster than position control and current control must be much faster than speed control current control must be very fast to achieve position control with reasonable cycle times in the controlled system (drive, converter, ) however, there is no time constant justifying cycle times of 100 µs or less Page 57

58 General Structure of a Predictive Controller ϕ prediction and calculation switching state actual machine state power electronics machine and power electronics model motor windings I inertia ω gear etc. ϕ reminds slightly to state control state control, however, is basically a linear control predictive control is not!!! Page 58

59 Usual Structure of Drive Control why PWM? linearization of the inverter consequences? very high switching frequency DC link PI controller Page 59

60 Structure of a Direct Control DC link direct controller Page 60

61 Principle of Predictive Control reference commands precalculation of the behaviour for each of the switching states comparison between precalculation and reference commands next switching state or switching time can be fixed definite number of equivalent circuits without switching elements definite number of switching states definite number of switching elements inverter Page 61

62 Trajectory Based Predictive Control Strategies system states are forced to follow (pre-)defined natural reference trajectories difference to sliding mode control there the trajectories are not natural Page 62

64 Characteristics of Trajectory Based Predictive Control system states are forced to follow (pre-)defined reference trajectories switching takes place at intersections between different system-trajectories or at (pre-)defined instants switching frequency of the inverter can be fixed to a constant value control behaviour comparable to feedforward control exact knowledge of system parameters is required appropriate for realisation by digital circuits or controllers Page 64

74 The Human Behaviour of DMPC DMPC is like playing chess the player calculates in advance all possible moves until a prediction horizon the player chooses the move with the best expectations of success after each opponent s move pre-calculation and optimization is repeated Page 74

77 Direct Model Predictive Control System Model / Cost Function Page 77

78 Direct Model Predictive Control System Model / Cost Function Page 78

79 Characteristics of Model Based Predictive Control basic ideas are derived from state-space control the past is explicitely considered (mostly by the system state) future control values are pre-calculated and optimized the first of the precalculated control values only model parameters can be estimated on-line until a (pre-)defined horizon is transmitted to the controlled system extension to MIMO-control is possible with little additional effort use of non-linear model is possible for non-linear control systems a lot of calculation power is required Page 79

80 Model Based Predictive Current Control complete enumeration extensive processing power needed there are 7 (or 8) possiblities for the following switching state the respective system behaviour (current) can be calculated in advance a chess player, so why however, should we does not that really in predictive consider control each possibility???

81 Model Based Predictive Current Control further prediction, however, is only considered for the candidate sequences staying within the permitted limits so why should we do that in predictive control???

82 Model Based Predictive Current Control determine those switching possibilities only that are either feasible or point in the proper direction these are candidate sequences feasible pointing in the proper direction

83 Model Based Predictive Current Control determine those switching possibilities only that are either feasible or point in the proper direction these are candidate sequences not feasible not pointing in the proper direction

84 Model Based Predictive Current Control for the candidate sequences, further prediction (e. g. by a reduced system model) is performed example : the number of steps after which the first of the two variables the i sα and i isβ leaves the feasible region is the number η

85 Model Based Predictive Current Control for the candidate sequences, further prediction (e. g. by a reduced system model) is performed example : the number of steps after which the first of the two variables the i sα and i isβ leaves the feasible region is the number η 1 η1 = 4 η 1 = 4

86 Model Based Predictive Current Control for the candidate sequences, further prediction (e. g. by a reduced system model) is performed example : the number of steps after which the first of the two variables the i sα and i isβ leaves the feasible region 1 η1 = 4 is the number η 2 η2 = 10

87 Different Way of Thinking in Model Based Predictive Control 1. model of the controlled system this is no difference to conventional control the better the model, the better the prediction 2. cost function the engineer has to learn to describe what he wants the controlled system really to do!!! 3. stability that s a really good question next question? Page 87

88 Experimental Results (DMPC) current control comparison : PI control model predictive control Page 88

89 Experimental Results (DMPC) current control Low a change switching of the frequency cost function (nothing high switching else!!!) frequency dynamic of step response results in is different identical behaviour!! Page 89

90 Advantages Features of (Longe Range) Predictive Control possibility to use foreknowledge about drive system (system model) inverter limitations and dynamic behaviours are taken into account improved representation of non-linear systems no need for time challenging cascade structure improved dynamic behaviour Disadvantages high processing capability required for industrial use change in teaching engineers necessary stationary accuracy and dynamic behaviour depend on accurracy of model parameters Page 90

91 Actual Situation in cascaded control structures speed control must be much faster than position control and current control must be much faster than speed control current control must be extremely fast to achieve position control with reasonable cycle times at the time most requirements in industrial applications are satisfied sufficiently there is no strong need for improvement in industry however at a certain time there will be a demand for improvement with respect to a future increase of requirements more investigations should be done Page 91

92 Discussion predictive control strategies offer the possibility to use foreknowledge about the drive system physical limitations and dynamic behaviour of power electronics non-linear systems are represented better (by non-linear models) no need for time challenging cascaded structures the way of thinking is different are taken into account model of the controlled system cost function with respect to a future increase of requirements more investigations should be done Page 92
