In view of the poor adaptability and robustness exhibited by traditional PI control in the permanent magnet synchronous motor speed control system, a proposal of the fuzzy adaptive PID control has thus been made. The vector control system of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) with fuzzy PID and space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) can be constructed by combining the traditional PID with the fuzzy control. The simulation results show that the new system is characterized with not only an improved static and dynamic performance, as well as with a good adaptability and robustness.
