Abstract

This invention provides a model predictive controller for eliminating backlash in a heliostat multi-servo drive system, specifically for heliostat multi-servo drive systems. For speed control, an improved dead-zone model is proposed to model the backlash, and a dynamic model of the dual-motor system is established based on this model. A model predictive speed controller and control system based on the dead-zone model are designed according to the dynamic model, and a feedback correction loop is used to correct the prediction results. For position control, an improved backlash elimination strategy using a variable offset torque distribution method is proposed, and a dual-motor system model based on the backlash elimination strategy is established. A model predictive position controller and control system based on the backlash elimination strategy are designed based on this model. The controller of this invention can eliminate the influence of backlash in the heliostat multi-servo system, achieving fast and stable speed regulation without overshoot and fast response and high positioning accuracy in position control.
