LPV Control for Speed of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) with PWM Inverter

This paper deals with the modeling, analysis, design and simulation of a robust control method for a permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) supplied with a PWM inverter based on a LPV (Linear Parameter Variation) standard controller. Under the influence of uncertainties and external disturbances, by a variation of ±150% of motor parameters from the nominal values, the robust performance control problem is formulated as a LPV standard scheme and solved by a suboptimal LMI (Linear Inequality Matrices) iterative strategy. This new design method is able to ensure the stabilization of the augmented system formed of the perturbed system with improved performance in face of parameter variation and external disturbances. A Simulation study was carried out to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results obtained are compared with a simple conventional PI controller.
