Abstract: The paper relates to the development of an algorithm applicable for maintaining the rotational speed of low-speed drives using PMSM motors and operating under a sign-changing load. The moment of inertia of rotating parts does not play the role of a mechanical stabilizer for the speeds discussed in the article. Simulation studies are presented with the aim of developing a rotational speed control algorithm that utilizes only positional feedback and the previously assumed sign-changing load on the shaft. For the purposes of this research, a mathematical model was developed to calculate transient processes in a PMSM machine operating in the conditions of a sign-changing load on the shaft. This model assumes a deterministic control principle adapted to the known nature of the load change. In this model, the mutual influence occurring between the phase fluxes, the electromagnetic torque, the electric currents and the rotor position angle are established on the basis of FEM analysis of a two-dimensional magnetic field using a quasi-stationary approximation. Principles applicable for controlling a direct low-speed servo drive based on a PMSM machine operating with a known variable shaft load using only positional feedback and a predetermined shaft load change law are defined. The proposed regulation method is verified in an experimental manner. For this purpose, an experimental setup was built, which includes a PMSM with a load imitator on a variable sign shaft, an inverter providing sine-shaped power supply to the machine and a digital dual-processor control system. The discussed rotational speed stabilization algorithm was implemented in the form of a program for a microcontroller, which forms a part of the control system. The results of experimental tests confirm the adequacy of mathematical modeling and the effectiveness of the proposed rotational speed stabilization algorithm.
