The performance of the cooperative control method is critical to the machining accuracy and response speed of multi-motor servo systems. As a control strategy that could easily deal with multivariable and complex constraints, model predictive control is suitable for building the high-performance cooperative control methods, but there are still many technical gaps to be studied. This project conducts the research about key issues of multi-motor cooperative predictive control method under uncertain disturbance environment. Firstly, the frequency domain accurate modeling method for the disturbances of the multi-motor systems is studied, then the harmonic current generation mechanism in the system is revealed. Secondly, targeting the goal of unified modeling and unified optimization, this project studies the optimization methods of the predictive models and optimization methods, in order to integrate the traditional multi-level closed loop into one control loop. On this basis, this project proposes the "integrated" cooperative predictive control architecture with disturbance suppression capability, which could make sure the efficient interaction between the control information of each motor and realizes the high precision and high dynamic performance operation of the system. Finally, this project compares the variation of control precision and speed in the different cooperative predictive control architectures under various operating conditions, and the stability and robustness of cooperative predictive control method is studied. Furthermore, the cooperative control theory and technical based on model predictive control of the multi-motor system is achieved. The efficient and stable cooperative predictive control method could improve the overall performance and reliability of multi-motor servo systems, and the development of the model predictive control theory in the field of multi-motor control will be promoted.
