Parameters Identification of the Fractional-Order Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Models Using Chaotic Ensemble Particle Swarm Optimizer

Abstract

In this paper, novel variants for the Ensemble Particle Swarm Optimizer (EPSO) are proposed where ten chaos maps are merged to enhance the EPSO’s performance by adaptively tuning its main parameters. The proposed Chaotic Ensemble Particle Swarm Optimizer variants (C.EPSO) are examined with complex nonlinear systems concerning equal order and variable-order fractional models of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM). The proposed variants’ results are compared to that of its original version to recommend the most suitable variant for this non-linear optimization problem. A comparison between the introduced variants and the previously published algorithms proves the developed technique’s efficiency for further validation. The results emerge that the Chaotic Ensemble Particle Swarm variants with the Gauss/mouse map is the most proper variant for estimating the parameters of equal order and variable-order fractional PMSM models, as it achieves better accuracy, higher consistency, and faster convergence speed, it may lead to controlling the motor’s unwanted chaotic performance and protect it from ravage.
