Virtual Line Shafting-Based Total-Amount Coordinated Control of Multi-Motor Traction Power

الملخص EN

This paper investigates a virtual line shafting-based total-amount coordinated control method of multi-motor traction power to solve the traffic safety problem caused by train traction power loss.

This method considers the total amount instead of the synchronous control amongst single motors in a multi-motor control system.

Firstly, a block diagram of the proposed method is built.

Secondly, on the basis of this diagram, an accurate system model with parameter perturbations is constructed.

Thirdly, a virtual controller is designed to quickly adjust the output torque of the virtual motor and to realise a tracking control of the reference torque.

A total-amount coordinated control strategy based on the integral sliding mode is also designed to keep the total traction power of the multi-motor system constant under uncertain and unknown disturbances.

Lyapunov stability theory is used to prove the system stability.

The simulation and experiment results verify the effectiveness of the virtual controller and the total-amount coordinated control strategy in guaranteeing system robustness under disturbances and parameter perturbations.
