Fixed-time adaptive chaotic control for permanent magnet synchronous motor subject to unknown parameters and perturbations

It is well known that the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) exhibits chaotic characteristics when its parameters fall within a certain range, which can lead to system instability. This article proposes an adaptive control strategy for achieving the fixed-time chaotic stabilization of PMSM, even in the presence of unknown parameters and perturbations. The developed controller is synthesized by combining a parametric adaptive mechanism with a fixed-time control technique. The stability analysis demonstrates that the system states under the developed controller can converge to small neighborhoods around the equilibrium point within a fixed time. Thanks to the adoption of the parametric adaptive mechanism, the developed controller is not only insensitive to unknown parameters but also robust against perturbations. Finally, simulated studies are conducted to verify and emphasize the effectiveness of the developed control strategy.
