Low-frequency harmonic interference is an important factor that affects the performance of low-speed direct-drive servo systems. In order to improve the low-speed smoothness of direct-drive servo, firstly, the causes of the first and second harmonics of electromagnetic torque and tooth harmonics are analyzed based on the mathematical model of PMSM (permanent magnet synchronous motor) and the principle of vector control. Accordingly, the CC-EUMA (Electrical angle Update and Mechanical angle Assignment algorithm for Center Current) and SL-DQPR (Double Quasi-Proportional Resonant control algorithm for Speed Loop) algorithm are proposed. Second, to confirm the algorithm’s efficacy, the harmonic environment is simulated using Matlab/Simulink, and the built harmonic suppression module is simulated and analyzed. Then, a miniaturized, fully digital drive control system is built based on the architecture of the Zynq-7000 series chips. Finally, the proposed suppression algorithm is verified at the board level. According to the experimental results, the speed ripple decreases to roughly one-third of its initial value after the algorithm is included. This effectively delays the speed ripple’s low-speed deterioration and provides a new idea for the low-speed control of the space direct-drive servo system.

This article aims to conduct an in-depth investigation into the environmental impact of Hall thruster plumes on spacecraft surface charging. The non-uniform plasma plume generated by Hall thrusters may trigger charging and discharging effects, making the assessment of surface charging risks crucial. Through numerical simulations using SPIS system, this study evaluates the surface charging characteristics of a complex spacecraft in orbit, simulating the effects of turning on and off the thrusters, as well as varying distances between the thrusters and the spacecraft. The simulation demonstrates that turning on the thrusters significantly affects spacecraft charging, reducing the potential difference between spacecraft surfaces from 3740 V to 19.2 V, effectively alleviating electrostatic discharge on the spacecraft surface. The closer the thruster is to the spacecraft, the more CEX ions are collected on the surface, influenced by the beam ions, resulting in a surface potential change of 1.3 V, with minor effects on surface potential but contributing to increased deposition contamination on the spacecraft surface.
