Feedback Linearization Based Direct Torque Control for IPMSMs

A feedback linearization based direct torque control (FL-DTC) scheme is designed for interior permanent magnet synchronous motors drives. Several main aspects related to FL are studied thoroughly. A proper choice of two new state variables (the torque and the squared amplitude of stator flux) yields the exact input-output linearization decoupling of the closed-loop system. The FL-DTC frame is obtained after finding a feasible diffeomorphism. For the partially linearized subsystem, i.e., the independent torque and flux loops, two FL-DTC-based controller design solutions are provided. The control problem of internal dynamics is converted to an absolute tracking problem of an equivalent Lur'e system.
