Popis: Mathematical model of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), which is also popularly known as sinusoidal BLDC motor, is highly nonlinear. Speed control of this motor is a cascade control structure which has two distinct loops: an inner current control loop and outer speed control loop. In this paper, we present the design of fractional proportional-integral (PI) controller using small-signal model of PMSM. The basic scheme used for speed control is field-oriented control wherein constant torque angle control is obtained by zero direct-axis current. This requires three PI controllers: one for direct-axis current to keep at zero; another for quadrature axis current to maintain at maximum; and the third for the speed to keep at the reference level. In this paper, we have replaced all three PI controllers with fractional-order (FO) PI controllers, where order of integrator is fractional. These three FOPI controllers are tested on integer-order nonlinear model as well as fractional-order nonlinear model of PMSM using MATLAB simulink and FOMCON toolbox. The comparative analysis shows superior performance of the FOPI controllers for FO PMSM.
