This paper presents a novel filtering method for speed measurements to improve the low-speed performance of the direct-drive permanent magnet traction machines for elevators. Based on the theory of nonlinear tracking differentiator (NTD), this method, which can act as a high performance filter of a raw speed signal, obtains a more accurate speed feedback signal when applying a low-resolution encoder. In addition, it can relieve the interference caused by the position derivative for speed sampling. By analyzing the frequency response of the NTD, the influence of its parameters on the performance of the speed filtering is investigated. Compared with different types of low-pass filters, the proposed method shows a shorter time delay and a stronger ability in terms of noise suppression when the parameters are selected carefully. In addition, when using the measured speed signal through a nonlinear tracking differentiator as the feedback of the system, the motor runs more steadily at low speeds. As a result, the riding comfort of a direct-drive elevator can be improved. The feasibility of the proposed strategy was verified on an 11.7kW elevator traction machine using a commercial inverter.

불확실한 순궤환 비선형 계통에 대한 스위칭 미분기 기반의 새로운 백스테핑 제어기를 제안한다. 제안된 제어기에서는 점근적 추종 특성을 갖는 스위칭 미분기를 사용하여 백스테핑 제어기의 매 설계 단계마다 가상 제어항이 직접 근사된다. 그 결과 제어식이 매우 단순화되고 계통에 내재된 파라미터 및 구조적 불확실성과 외란이 존재함에도 불구하고 계통의 출력이 원하는 출력을 점근적으로 추종함을 증명한다. 또한 신경망이나 퍼지시스템 같은 계통의 구조적인 불확실성에 적응적으로 실시간 보상하기 위한 범용 근사기가 불필요하다. 모의실험을 통해서 제안된 제어기의 성능과 간결함을 보인다.

As a new control strategy, the Nonlinear PID (NLPID) controller has been introduced successfully in power systems. The controller is free of planting model groundwork during the design procedure and is therefore able to be achieved quite simply. In this paper, a nonlinear PID controller used for a superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) unit connected to a power system is proposed. The purpose of designing such a controller is to improve the stability of the power system in a relatively wide operation range. The design procedure takes into account the active and reactive power cooperative control scheme as well as the simple structure so as to be more apt to practical utilization. Simulation is carried out to investigate the performance of the proposed controller in a high order nonlinear power system model under the. MATLAB environment. The results show satisfactory performance and good robustness of the controller. The feasibility of the controller is testified as well.
