Overview of Sliding Mode Control Technology for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor System

Abstract

With the increasingly widespread application of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs), it is required that PMSMs can still maintain high efficiency and high reliability in complex environments. Due to the nonlinearity of PMSMs and the influence of external disturbances, its precise control is still a challenge. As a modern control scheme, sliding mode control can improve the control PMSM drive system. It has been successfully applied in the control of PMSMs and has become a hot spot in the motor drive system. This paper provides an overview of the current research status of sliding mode control strategies based on PMSMs and introduces the design of sliding mode controllers, as well as the development and application of high-order sliding mode control. The method of suppressing the chattering problem is summarized, and the deficiencies of it are put forward. Finally, the development trend of sliding mode control technology is discussed, and the future development direction of SMC for PMSM is prospected.
