Adaptive sliding mode control of a chaotic nonsmooth-air-gap permanent magnet synchronous motor with uncertainties

Abstract

Using the sliding mode control approach, a simple adaptive controller design method is proposed for a chaotic nonsmooth-air-gap permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The proposed method does not require the restrictive assumption that accurate information on the PMSM parameter and load torque values is available, thus it has robustness to model uncertainties. This paper analyzes the stability and convergence of the closed-loop control system, and this paper gives a discretized control algorithm for DSP implementation. Finally, this paper presents some simulation results to illuminate that the proposed method can effectively handle the controller design problem for a chaotic nonsmooth-air-gap PMSM under inaccurate information on the PMSM parameter and load torque values.
