Abstract: The speed control of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) is a problem of Multi-Input/Multi-Output (MIMO) non-linear system control. This problem is complicated and difficult due to the uncertainties and the non-linear couplings among inputs and outputs. In this paper, an adaptive neural control scheme is proposed for stable MIMO control of Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (IPMSM). A systematic design procedure is provided in which the problem of non-linear couplings is successfully solved. A non-linear damping technique is used to cope with the time-varying load disturbance. Simulation results are included to show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Keywords: adaptive neural control; adaptive control; neural networks; permanent magnet synchronous motors; PMSM; speed controllers; nonlinear damping; nonlinear systems; multi-input/multi-output; MIMO; uncertainties; nonlinear control; time-varying load disturbance; simulation.
