Adaptive type-2 fuzzy output feedback control using nonlinear observers for permanent magnet synchronous motor servo systems

Abstract

This paper investigates the accurate servo position control of the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM)-driven system under varying external disturbance and unknown mechanical friction. Firstly, to overcome the difficulty of state observer design caused by uncertainties, the interval type-2 fuzzy logic system (IT2 FLS) is introduced to approximate the nonlinear friction. Meanwhile, the nonlinear disturbance observer (NDO) is employed to estimate the lumped disturbance. Then aiming to solve the problem of explosion of complexity and filtering error, a finite-time (FT) adaptive IT2 fuzzy output feedback controller is proposed by combining the error compensation mechanism and FT control. In addition, to further improve the performance of the closed-loop system, the adaptive law is updated by the compensation error signal. By means of Lyapunov stability theory, all signals in the closed loop system can be guaranteed to be finite-time stable. Numerical simulations and real-time experiments are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed controller.
