A multi-motor speed synchronization control enhanced by artificial bee colony algorithm

Abstract

Relative coupling control (RCC) structure is widely used for multi-motor speed synchronization control. To improve the performance of multi-motor synchronous control, artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is developed and applied for enhancing RCC structure. The RCC structure optimized by the ABC algorithm is called the RCC-ABC structure. In the RCC-ABC structure, the ABC algorithm optimizes both the fixed compensation factor in the speed compensator and the parameters of the PID controller acting as a tracking controller. Simulation experiments based on a four-motor system are conducted to validate the efficiency of the RCC-ABC structure. Simulation results show that the RCC-ABC structure has better synchronization and tracking performance compared to the RCC structure.

Research on multi-motor speed synchronous control based on mean coupling control

“…The control accuracy of the system is closely related to the performance of the controller, but the traditional PI controller has poor adaptive ability and cannot meet the needs of high-accuracy control. In order to upgrade the traditional coupling controller based on PI, in reference [8], a multi-motor synchronous control method based on artificial bee colony algorithm was proposed. In reference [9], a method based on pigeon swarm algorithm was proposed to meet the requirements of flexible printing presses.…”

“…Integrating artificial intelligence algorithms with the RCC strategy is also a significant research trend. For instance, in [13,14], neural PID and artificial bee colony algorithms were respectively combined with the RCC strategy, which greatly enhanced the coupling performance of the RCC strategy. Furthermore, many studies have improved the controlling accuracy and simplified the control structures by changing the type of compensation input.…”
