Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor(PMSM) is a multivariable, nonlinear system with strong couple. It’s sensitive to the parameters and load variations. To improve the system static, dynamic performance and robustness, the fractional-order PIλ control strategy is proposed. Compared with integer-order PI controller, the fractional-order PIλ controller achieves better control performance due to an extra adjustable knob λ. The simulation results show that the fractional-order PIλ controller can track the given speed quickly and accurately, and has better anti-interference with load variation.
