Robust Control of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine Based on Passivity Theory

Abstract

Abstract This paper presents a robust control strategy for a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine (PMSM) based on passivity theory. Pre‐control terms ensure robustness to variation of parameters. The nominal electrical and mechanical dynamics are treated separately and a cascade structure is obtained. A comparative analysis is done in Matlab‐Simulink with a Simple Adaptive Control (SAC) strategy in terms of settling time, stationary error, time response and energy efficiency. Improvements of the proposed Passivity Based Control (PBC) strategy are shown in comparison with some other PBC controllers.
