Real-Time Electromagnetic Estimation for Reluctance Actuators
Abstract: Several modeling, estimation, and control strategies have been recently presented for simple reluctance devices like solenoid valves and electromagnetic switches. In this paper, we present a new algorithm to online estimate the flux linkage and the electrical time-variant parameters of these devices, namely the resistance and the inductance, only by making use of discrete-time measurements of voltage and current. The algorithm, which is robust against measurement noise, is able to deal with temperature variations of the device and provides accurate estimations during the motion of the armature. Additionally, an integral {estimator} that uses the start of each operation of the actuator as reset condition has been also implemented for comparative purposes. The performances of both estimation methods are studied and compared by means of simulations and experimental tests, and the benefits of our proposal are emphasized. Possible uses of the estimates and further modeling developments are also described and discussed.
