The proposed control approach directly regulates the magnitude and angle of the rotor-flux vector rather than controlling rotor currents or voltages as in classic field oriented control (FOC). To accurately regulate the magnitude and frequency of stator voltage, two separate closed-loop based PI regulators are employed to evaluate the reference signals of the rotor flux vector magnitude and angle, respectively. As the proposed control strategy directly regulates the rotor flux vector in the rotor frame, this helps effectively in avoiding the use of rotor speed/position sensors or computationally intensive rotor speed estimators. Furthermore, the stator current measurements are not required to evaluate the load power requirement, considerably reducing the control implementation cost for the system. Furthermore, the proposed control strategy has the ability to operate in both sub-synchronous and super-synchronous speed modes without the need to identify the operating speed range. Since the method only requires knowledge of rotor resistance, it is extremely simple to use and virtually parameter-independent. To evaluate the performance, effectiveness and robustness of the new controller, extensive simulation and experimental tests of a 3-kW laboratory generator are accomplished for different operating conditions. Additionally, a performance comparison with the classic FOC strategy is made, from which the superiority of the proposed control is clearly confirmed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14660,"journal":{"name":"ISA transactions","volume":"158 ","pages":"Pages 715-734"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142928937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, a novel contouring adaptive real-time iterative compensation (CARIC) method is proposed to achieve extreme multi-axis contouring accuracy, remarkable trajectory generalization, disturbance rejection, and parametric adaptation simultaneously. Specifically, control actions generated by CARIC consist of robust feedback, adaptive feedforward, and online trajectory compensation components. Robust feedback and adaptive feedforward terms initially stabilize single-axis closed-loop control systems and adapt to parameter variations. An online contouring error prediction model subsequently captures upcoming contouring errors in advance, enabling the iterative calculation of optimal online trajectory compensation signals at each sampling instant during real-time motion. This mechanism proactively suppresses potential contouring errors before their occurrence. Comparative simulations and experiments demonstrate that the proposed CARIC method reaches the accuracy limit previously attainable only by iterative learning control (ILC) while enhancing trajectory generalization, disturbance rejection, and parametric adaptation. Notably, practical experiments on a nano-accuracy air-bearing motion stage showcase consistent 7-nm-level accuracy across various 100-mm stroke contouring tasks even under varying contours, payloads, and disturbances.
