Abstract

A fuzzy position controller is employed for the linear switched reluctance motor. Performance comparison between the fuzzy controller and a proportional-differential (PD) controller is carried out. Under the PD controller, the absolute steady-state error is 44.5 ∼ 211.5 μm under normal condition and 1157-1212 μm under sustained time-variant disturbance circumstance, respectively. The absolute steady-state error of 3 μm and 9 μm can be achieved under the fuzzy controller in the normal and sustained disturbed circumstance. Experimental results demonstrate that the position tracking performance from the proposed algorithm is superior to the conventional PD control strategy, both in normal circumstance and disturbance environment.
