Design and High-Order Precision Numerical Implementation of Fractional-Order PI Controller for PMSM Speed System Based on FPGA

Abstract

In this paper, the design of a fractional-order proportional integral (FOPI) controller and integer-order (IOPI) controller are compared for the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) speed regulation system. A high-precision implementation method of a fractional-order proportional integral (FOPI) controller is proposed in this work. Three commonly used numerical implementation methods of fractional operators are investigated and compared for comprehensively evaluating the numerical implementation performance in this work. Furthermore, for the impulse response invariant implementation method, the effects of different discretization orders on the control performance of the system are compared. The high-order fractional-order controller can be implemented accurately in a control system with the field-programmable gate array (FPGA) with the capability of parallel calculation. The simulation and experimental results show that the high-precision numerical implementation method of the designed high-order FOPI controller has better performance than the ordinary precision fractional operation implementation method and traditional order integer order PI controller.
