Combining Real-time Parameter Identification and Robust Control Algorithms for Effective Control of Electrical Machines

Abstract

This paper presents a combination of two methods that can be effectively combined for control of electrical machines. The first method enables real-time identification of electrical and mechanical parameters based on differential geometry and geometric algebra. The second method enables robust control of electrical machines, even when the knowledge about parameters is incomplete. In combination, the two methods open a path for successful control of electrical machines with unknown and/or time varying parameters.
