An optimal speed controller for permanent-magnet synchronous motordrives

An optimal control system synthesis method which can achieve vector and speed control simultaneously for permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives is proposed in this paper. A state-space multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) model for PMSM is first developed and the compensation for the nonlinearities in this model is discussed. A pseudo-linearized PMSM model is dynamically constructed through the state detection, and subsequently an optimal speed controller is developed based on this linearized model. The integral control technique is incorporated to eliminate possible speed offsets. A speed observer is further developed to eliminate the speed sensor from the drive
