Passivity based control of nonlinear DC motors configurations and sensorless applications Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • In this paper, an unified framework for the control of all different DC motor configurations is presented. The control structure is based on the passivity property of electrical machines. Thus, separately- excited, parallel and series configurations can be studied following the same control philosophy, and without any simplification. These configurations present different nonlinear dynamics in each armature-field connection, and different number of control voltages. Moreover, each control law can be naturally adapted to work under a sensorless configuration, but assuming that the load torque is measurable. Nevertheless, an observer can be designed using the state information, or just electrical measurements to estimate on-line this variable. A simulation and experimental evaluations are presented to corroborate the control derivations. ©2007 IEEE.
