Backstepping speed controller design for a multi-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor drive

Abstract

This paper deals with the synthesis of a speed control strategy for a six-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive based on backstepping controller (BC). The Backstepping control is a systematic and recursive design methodology for nonlinear feedback control. The results demonstrate that backstepping controller has the advantage of rapid response, no overshoot and stability compared with PI controller.
