Speed control of an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor using belbic (brain emotional learning based intelligent controller)

Among ac drives, the permanent magnet synchronous motor has been gaining popularity owing to its high torque to current ratio, large power to weight ratio, high efficiency, high power factor and robustness. Because of its technical and economic advantages, Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor drive technology is a serious contender for replacing the existing technologies. In this paper we report the utilization of a novel controller (BELBlC) based on emotion processing mechanism in brain. Our results show superior control characteristics especially very fast response, simple implementation and robustness with respect to disturbances and manufacturing imperfections. Our proposed method enables the designer to shape the response in accordance with the multiple objectives of his/her choice.
