Designing a New Robust Control Method for AC Servo motor

In this paper, a new output feedback control method was used based on a linear matrix inequality to control the angular position of AC servo motor shaft. The proposed control method does not need to measure all of the AC servo motor statuses; it only uses the output feedback and is robust against the uncertain servo motor parameters and the disturbances applied to it. The proposed control method was compared in several scenarios with a Standard Internal Model Control-Sliding Mode Control (SIMC-SMC) method, 2-Degree-of-Freedom Internal Model Control-Sliding Mode Controller (2DOF-IMC-SMC) method, 2-Degree-of-Freedom Internal Model Control-Proportional-Integral-Derivative (2DOF-IMC-PID) method, Standard Internal Model Control-Proportional-Derivatives (SIMC-PD) method, and Internal Model Control-Proportional-Integral-Derivative-Extended State Observer (IMC-PID-ESO) method. The simulation results show that the proposed controller has desirable performance against disturbances and uncertain parameters of the AC servo motor compared with other mentioned controllers. This method relative to other controllers decreased the error of tracking the angular position of the servo motor to 30% .The simulation was performed in the Matlab Software.
