Abstract:[Objective] To improve the disturbance rejection capability of the deadbeat predictive current control (DPCC) system for permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM), a secondorder enhanced extended state observer (SEESO) is proposed to overcome the performance limitations of traditional linear extended state observers (LESO) under rapid timevarying disturbances and highfrequency harmonics. [Methods] First, the 6k harmonic model caused by inverter nonlinearity and the magnetic flux of the permanent magnet was derived, and the mathematical model for DPCC was established. Then, the impact of parameter disturbances on the dynamic and steadystate control performance of DPCC was analyzed in terms of speed, stability, and accuracy. Next, the SEESO model was constructed, and its stability and the differences in disturbance and disturbance error observations compared with the traditional extended state observer were theoretically verified. Furthermore, the final value theorem was used to demonstrate that the SEESO could achieve zero steadystate error observation of timevarying disturbances, in contrast to LESO. [Results] Finally, the feasibility and advantages of the proposed control strategy were verified through Matlab/Simulink simulation software. Specifically, SEESO effectively reduced tracking errors and quickly stabilized under dynamic load disturbances. Additionally, the sixth harmonic in steadystate conditions was significantly reduced, improving the system’s resistance to harmonics. SEESO also demonstrated higher estimation accuracy and faster response speed under steadystate parameter disturbances, thus improving the system’s robustness to parameter variations. [Conclusion] The results show that SEESO can effectively enhance the disturbance rejection capability of DPCC, providing an effective solution for improving the disturbance rejection capability of motor drive systems.
