Fuzzy PID control of permanent magnet synchronous motor electric steering engine by improved beetle antennae search algorithm

Abstract

Abstract The accuracy of control in permanent magnet synchronous motor system significantly affects overall mechanical structure safety. To satisfy high-performance control for the position servo of the electric steering engine, this study selects a suitable vector control model for permanent magnet synchronous motor. Additionally, an enhanced beetle antennae search algorithm is designed and employed to optimize the fuzzy proportional–integral–derivative controller. The hybrid fuzzy proportional-integral-derivative controller is then implemented in the control model of the permanent magnet synchronous motor, resulting in the establishment of a novel control model for the electric steering engine driven by the permanent magnet synchronous motor. The test results showed that root-mean-square error of this control model was 0.03 mm and 0.02 mm respectively under the conditions of sinusoidal response, square wave response and step response, which was obviously shorter than all the selected control models. In addition, the standard deviation of the control model designed in this study accounted for less than 4% of root-mean-square error of electric steering engine position under the sinusoidal response condition, so the calculation stability was high. The research results show that the designed control model has a certain reference value for improving servo control performance of permanent magnet synchronous motor.
