Computationally Efficient Near-Optimal Control for Current Ripple Reduction and Optimization of Three-Phase Motors via LMIs

摘要

The optimal control of three-phase permanent-magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) is challenging due to their nonlinearity and the discrete nature of the control set. Existing approaches either rely on mixed-integer trajectory optimization or require computationally intensive value-iteration procedures. This paper proposes a Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI)-based method for approximating the infinite-horizon value function using a quadratic parameterization and iterated Bellman inequalities, yielding a tractable convex program. The computed function can be obtained efficiently offline and used online as a tail cost in a horizon-one optimal control law. Simulation results show that the proposed approach achieves a favorable trade-off between switching effort and current ripple, with performance comparable to that of finite-control-set MPC but with a significantly lower computational cost.
