Abstract

Increasing environmental concerns and fluctuating oil prices have paved way to adopt an alternative to combustion engines. At this instance, electric vehicles could be the most viable solution. Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) have high power density, relatively smaller size and high torque-inertia ratio. However, it has series of challenging problems due to model mismatch, load disturbance, and nonlinear in nature. These challenges demand a robust controller. Sliding Mode Controller (SMC) is one such controller that eliminates internal parameter variations and external disturbances. This motivates the design of SMC for speed control of PMSM. The parameters of the SMC are optimized using Differential Evolutionary algorithm and performance of PMSM servo system is validated. © 2001 Elsevier Science. All rights reserved
