Sliding mode control with an adaptive switching power reaching law

This paper proposes a adaptive reaching law-based sliding mode control (SMC) method for maintaining favorable velocity control performance of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) under internal and external perturbations. An adaptive switching power reaching law (ASPRL) is designed, which contains adaptive terms and state variables of the sliding mode surface function. This augmented reaching law decreases the chatter of the control system and increases the rate at which the state variables of the system reach the sliding mode surface. Additionally, a Luenberger observer load torque (LOLT) is designed to observe the external load and provide feedback to the velocity controller, reducing the impact of load disturbances and improving the jamming performance of the controller. Simulation experiments confirm that ASPRL reduces buffeting, decreases overshoot, and shortens response time, demonstrating its advantages in PMSM control.
