Enhancement of Field Oriented Control for Permanent Magnetic Synchronous Motor using Ant Colony Optimization

Abstract

Because of its frequent use in diverse systems, the PMSM drive must be controlled. Field-oriented control (FOC) based PMSM drive is modeled in the present work to optimize the torque and speed performance of the PMSM. The FOC is based on a dissociated speed and flux control approach, which controls the speed and flux of the PMSM independently. The standard Proportional Integrator Derivative (PID) controller regulates the speed in FOC, which is noted for its increased resilience in linear systems, however in nonlinear ones, the PID controller responds poorly to changes in the system’s variables. In this case, the best solutions are frequently based on optimization techniques that produce the controller’s gains in every period. Optimizing the PID’s behavior in response to the system’s nonlinear behavior. The novel proposed strategy for enhancing the gains of the PID controller by employing a cost function such as Integral Time Absolute Error (ITAE) is based on PID speed regulation and is optimized using the Ant Colony Optimization algorithm (ACO) for FOC. To confirm the strategy’s aims, the suggested method is implemented on Matlab/Simulink. The simulation results demonstrated the efficiency of the intelligent ACO-FOC control, which delivers good performance in terms of stability, rapidity, and torque fluctuations.
