An approach to torque ripple compensation for high performance PMSM servo system

An adaptive load torque observer is presented to compensate the torque ripple in PMSM servo system. A simple adaptive scheme is derived using Popov´s hyperstability theory. The torque ripple detected by the observer is compensated by a feed forwarding equivalent current which gives fast response. The noisy current information is exempt from the observer to avoid its deterioration of the quality of the observer. The speed measurement delay is considered by using observed speed since the instantaneous velocity can´t be estimated precisely at low speed because of too few positional pulses from the absolute encoder during one time interval. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can improve the dynamic performance of PMSM servo system satisfyingly.
