Abstract
This research discusses a deep learning strategy for torque management to minimize the effect of torque ripple in a nonlinear electric motor. Nonlinear electric motor losses may include: magnetic saturation, harmonic flux losses and inverter losses. In many cases when the system parameters deviate and/or instability issues occur, the traditional method with a model-based approach or PI control may encounter challenges. In this case, the authors proposed a hybrid approach based on deep neural networks that have convolutional and recurrent layers to learn in real time and correct for torque drift as it occurs. To precisely forecast system behavior under various operating situations, the suggested architecture combines sophisticated feature extraction and temporal learning capabilities. Without the need for regular human adjustment, the deep learning model adjusts to nonlinear dynamics, parameter uncertainties, and external disturbances by continually evaluating motor operating data. This capacity to adapt improves the control system’s durability and dependability while preserving steady-state and transient performance. High-performance electric drive applications can benefit from the hybrid architecture’s quick convergence and effective processing of complicated information. Verification of the implementation of the proposed technique in MATLAB/Simulink simulated scenarios shows that the control scheme could maintain lower torque ripple, reduced vibrations of the motor, and higher efficiency than a standard model-based control approach took. This approach to intelligent control represents a new feature due to the control of an adaptive self-learning electric drive targeted for industrial and automotive usage.
Keywords: Deep learning, torque ripple, nonlinear magnetic condition, motor control, neural network, adaptive control.
