Fuzzy logic based vector control of multi-phase permanent magnet synchronous motors

This paper presents a fuzzy-logic-based vector control for a five-phase permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The high-performance of the proposed fuzzy logic control (FLC)-based PMSM drive are investigated and compared with the conventional proportional-integral (PI) controller at different conditions, such as step change in command speed and load, and robustness against machine parameter variations. Finally, Simulation results shows that FLC presents better performances and high robustness compared to the conventional PI controller
