Robust guaranteed cost ILC with dynamic feedforward and disturbance compensation for accurate PMSM position control

This contribution presents a robust ILC control design based on guaranteed costs. By combining this ILC design with dynamic feedforward control and an observer-based disturbance compensation, the initial tracking errors in an early learning stage can be reduced. The benefits of the proposed design approach are pointed out at the example of a robust position control of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM), which is subject to uncertain model parameters. The paper is concluded with convincing experimental results from a dedicated test rig. Moreover, a comparison with a classical observer-based tracking control is provided.
