Integration of predictive and computational intelligent techniques: A hybrid optimization mechanism for PMSM dynamics reinforcement by Shaswat Chirantan, Bibhuti Bhusan Pati

“…This analysis critically examines the dynamic responses, including current, torque, and speed profiles, of the PMSM under proposed hybrid control strategies. The heart of the work deals with the optimal switching states and subsequent voltage injection to the inverter fed PMSM drive by a predefined minimization principle of a current modulated objective function, where MPC constitutes an integral finite control set (IFCS) mechanism for voltage vector selection and thereby selects the optimized integral gains Kd and Kq for direct and quadrature axes, respectively, with the FCS gain Kfcs obtained from implemented intelligent techniques. …”
