Robust Control of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor: Synergetic Approach

Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) are widely used in practice due to its high-energy efficiency, compactness, reliability and high regulation performance. When controlling a PMSM rotor speed, the main control principle is the principle of cascade control with PI-regulators, which includes an external control loop for speed and two internal loops for stator currents along the (d, q)-axes. There are attempts to eliminate the disadvantages of this principle using for the control laws synthesis of modern methods of nonlinear control such methods as linearization feedback, backstepping, predictive control, sliding mode control, methods of robust and adaptive control, fuzzy and neural network control, a combination of these methods etc. However, in most cases, the use of these methods are intended to by means of an appropriate method to synthesize a static or dynamic set points for the standard PI-controllers of rotor speed and currents. In this paper we propose to consider two approaches of synergetic control theory (SCT) to construct a robust control law of PMSM: a sliding mode control laws design by the SCT method with subsequent invariant manifolds aggregation and the principle of integral adaptation (PIA). These approaches implement vector control and are not guided by the standard structure of the principle of cascade regulation of PMSM. The proposed approaches simplify the stability analysis of the closed-loop system: stability conditions consist of stability conditions of functional equations of SCT and the stability conditions for finish decomposed system, which the dimension is substantially less than the dimension of the original system. From the results of the comparisons of synthesized the PMSM robust control laws, we can say that more preferable laws synthesized in accordance with the PIA. The theoretical positions of this paper are illustrated by the results of modeling, which are showing the fulfillment of the control tasks: the achievement of targets, robustness to the change of the PMSM load moment.
