Advanced Electrical Motors and Control Strategies for High-quality Servo Systems - A Comprehensive Review

Abstract

Recent technological advancements have propelled remarkable progress in servo systems, resulting in their extensive utilization across various high-end applications. A comprehensive review of high-quality servo system technologies, focusing specifically on electrical motor topologies and control strategies is presented. In terms of motor topology, this study outlines the mainstream servo motors used across different periods, as well as the latest theories and technologies surrounding contemporary servo motors. In terms of control strategies, two well-established approaches are presented: field-oriented control and direct torque control. Additionally, it discusses advanced control strategies employed in servo systems, such as model predictive control (MPC) and fault tolerance control, among others.
