The Improved Particle Swarm Optimization Method: An Efficient Parameter Tuning Method with the Tuning Parameters of a Dual-Motor Active Disturbance Rejection Controller

Dual-motor control systems require high synchronization maintenance. Active disturbance rejection controllers (ADRC), renowned for their exceptional immunity to interference, rapid response time, and robustness, have gained widespread adoption as a prominent control strategy. The stability of the dual-motor system can be enhanced by employing an ADRC. However, setting ADRC parameters is challenging. This paper proposes an improved particle swarm optimization method (IPM) to alleviate the difficulty in parameter setting. We initially developed a simplified dual-motor ADRC model that includes current loop and speed loop ADRCs. Furthermore, aiming at maintaining synchronization of the dual-motor control system, the simplified dual-motor ADRC model and IPM method are combined. The experimental results demonstrate that in comparison with state-of-the-art methods, the proposed optimized dual-motor ADRC exhibits superior robustness, minimal overshoots, negligible steady-state errors, and high stability.
