A Robust Hꝏ-Based State Feedback Control of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Drives Using Adaptive Fuzzy Sliding Mode Observers

Abstract

In several applications, the accuracy and robust performance of the control method for the speed of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) is critical. Model uncertainties, caused by inaccurate model identification, decrease the accuracy of PMSM control. To solve this problem, this paper presents a super robust control structure for the speed control of PMSMs. In the proposed method, the model uncertainties with Lipschitz condition together with disturbances are considered during the PMSM modeling, and their effects are handled using a robust state feedback control. To be more specific, the Lyapunov stability proof is performed in such a way that the model uncertainty effects are eliminated. Before that, the Lyapunov stability criteria have been selected in such a way that the Hꝏ conditions are considered and guaranteed. This issue helps to eliminate the effects of the disturbances. In addition, this paper considers another option to make the whole control structure robust against sudden load changes. To solve this problem, a fuzzy adaptive sliding mode observer (FASMO) is presented to determine the load torque and use it in the control signal generation. In this observer, the switched gain of the sliding mode observer (SMO) is adapted using a fuzzy system to eliminate the chattering phenomena and increase the estimation accuracy. In fact, the proposed method is called super robust because it resists model uncertainties, disturbances, and sudden load changes during three stages by robust state feedback control, Hꝏ criterion, and load estimator, respectively. The performance of the proposed approach is validated through a set of laboratory tests, and its superiority is shown compared to other methods.
