Input-Output Variation Driven Gain Observer for Ultra-Local-Model-Based Predictive Control of PMSMs without Dependence on Electrical Parameters

Abstract: Model-free predictive control (MFPC) based on ultra-local model (ULM) is characterized by enhanced robustness to parameter mismatches. However, the selection of control gains, actually, ...
