A Loading Control Strategy for Electric Load Simulators Based on Proportional Resonant Control

Abstract

In order to effectively suppress surplus torque, realizing high precision loading, this paper applies proportional resonant (PR) control to the load torque control of electric load simulator (ELS), and analyzes and optimizes the stability and dynamic performance of ELS. The mathematical model of ELS is built in z-domain first in this paper, to establish foundation for designing and analyzing PR controller. The stability of the ELS with PR controller is analyzed through Nyquist diagrams, and optimized by reasonably designing the phase compensation angle of PR controller. The dynamic performance is analyzed through pole-zero plots, and the resonant gain of PR controller is designed based on the pole-zero plots to optimize the dynamic performance. Experimental results on ELS are provided, and the proposed method is compared with other typical methods, validating the effectiveness of the proposed method.
