Adaptivity Schemes for Model Predictive Speed Control of PMSM

Model predictive control is a popular research topic in the field of motor control. Its direct way of implementing constraints and nonlinearities makes MPC a potential alternative to standard motor control approaches. On the other hand, the control algorithm’s dependency on the motor model’s precision can make it tricky. Especially when the parameters of the controlled machine change over time. This paper presents a possible solution to a stated problem based on the model adaptivity. Firstly, the connection between experimental data and the parameters change is analyzed. Then, adaptivity schemes are presented. After that, the simulation experiment evaluates the performance of the proposed schemes.
