Nonlinear Control Model of Synchronous Motor with Excitation and Damper Windings

Abstract

In this paper, a new control method for synchronous motor with excitation and damper windings is presented. It is based on one type of nonlinear control; feedback linearization control. To make a realization in the sense of electric drive, symmetrical space vector PWM (pulse width modulation) is applied. Estimation of damper winding currents via Lyapunov function for the whole estimated system is done. The aim of control is to make tracking system for rotor speed and square of stator flux. Simulation of motor starting to predefined operating points is done, and also maintaining these points during step change of load torque is obtained. Simulations give good results.
