Design ADRC for Cutter Suction Dredger Cutter Motor Variable Frequency Drive System

Abstract:

In order to achieve precise speed control for cutter suction dredger cutter motor, the controller should adapt well to uncertainties, such as geological environment, water flow, mechanical disturbance, etc. It makes the design of cutter motor controller always a hard work. This paper proposes an active disturbance rejection controller (ADRC) approach for cutter suction dredger cutter motor variable frequency drive system. Firstly, the LabVIEW platform was established by virtual instrument technology, which collected operating data of cutter motor in fundamental wave and total harmonic distortion (THD). Then cutter motor motion mathematic model was built and the ADRC design method was introduced. Lastly, the simulation results in the cutter velocity control and disturbance environments were done. The results show that the ADRC controller has strong robustness, and the precise speed control can be implemented.
