PMSM speed control based on intelligent sliding mode technique

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to present a novel intelligent backstepping sliding mode control for an experimental permanent magnet synchronous motor.

Design/methodology/approach

A novel recurrent radial basis function network (RBFN) is used to is used to approximate unknown nonlinear functions in permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) dynamics. Then, using the functions obtained from the neural network, it is possible to design a model-based and precise controller for PMSM using the immersive modeling method.

Findings

Experimental results indicate the appropriate performance of the proposed method.

Originality/value

This paper presents a novel intelligent backstepping sliding mode control for an experimental permanent magnet synchronous motor. A novel recurrent RBFN is used to is used to approximate unknown nonlinear functions in PMSM dynamics.
