Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) variable-speed drive is widely used in the industry because of its particularly high mechanical power density, simplicity and cost effectiveness. Eliminating the mechanical sensor mounted on the shaft of the motors gives further improvement. These drives are referred to as “sensorless” electrical drives. In this paper a novel sensorless algorithm is pro...

Fuzzy logic is recently getting increasing emphasis in soft computing applications in the recent days. This paper presents an application of the fuzzy logic scheme to control the speed of an AC servo system & the same is proposed for a space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) inverter-fed permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive. Based on the analysis of the PMSM transient response, a...

During a long time, permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) were only reserved for some specific applications, however, recently, these machines are becoming more used due to the powerful magnetic characteristic of the rare earth, being used in different areas. Several researchers have proposed implementations combining the use of permanent magnet synchronous motor with the direct torque cont...

In this paper a sliding mode controller (SMC) is designed for a permanent magnet direct current (PMDC) motor to enhance the motor performance in the presence of unwanted uncertainties. Both the electrical and mechanical signals are used as the inputs to the SMC. The complete motor control system is simulated on a personal computer with different design parameters and desirable system performanc...

In view of the control problem of Permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM), applying port-controlled Hamiltonian (PCH) systems and passivity -based control theory, the modeling of Permanent Magnet Linear Synchronous Motor is presented. Using energy-shaping and passivity-based control (PBC) method, the control principle of PMLSM is given. The control laws are presented in load known con...

Permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), employing vector control, is used in high performance servo drive applications. It is highly non-linear plant which can be described by linear parameter varying (LPV) state-space model. In order to solve nonlinearity problem and syntesize speed controler, tensor product (TP) model transformation is proposed. Using this transformation, given linear para...

⎯A permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM) for a high temperature superconducting (HTS) maglev system has been studied, including the motor structure, control strategy, and analysis techniques. Finite element analysis (FEA) of magnetic field is conducted to accurately calculate major motor parameters. Equivalent electrical circuit is used to predict the drive’s steady-state characteri...
