A Backstepping Torque Control of a Five Phase Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine

Abstract

This paper is concerned with a backstepping torque control of five Phase Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine (5P-PMSM). A non-sinusoidal EMF is considered. The design procedure of the control scheme is discussed. Indeed, the objective of the proposed backstepping controller is the minimization of electromagnetic torque ripples due to the non sinusoidal EMF, and also the minimization of the copper losses. Simulation results show the effectiveness of our design, with good transient performances and an excellent torque ripples reduction.
