Adaptive predefined-time tracking control of uncertain permanent-magnet synchronous motor drive chaotic system

Abstract

A predefined-time tracking control algorithm is formulated for the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor(PMSM) driver system subjected to chaotic oscillations and undeterministic parameters, which can determine the upper bound of settling-time by controller gains. Radial Basis Function Neural Networks(RBFNNs) are employed to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions as universal approximators. The innovative predefined-time tracking differentiators are constructed to estimate the derivatives of the virtual inputs, resolving “the explosion of complexity” in traditional backstepping method. Then, an adaptive predefined-time controller is proposed in the backstepping framework. Lyapunov’s theoretical analysis proves that all signals in the closed-loop systems are uniformly ultimately bounded and the output tracking errors can converge to a small neighborhood of the origin within the predefined-time. Finally, simulation studies are performed to demonstrate that the proposed control scheme can quash the chaotic behaviors of the PMSM drive system and ensure fast-tracking performance even under unknown parameters.
