Implementation of Emotional Controller for Interior Permanent-Magnet Synchronous Motor Drive

This paper presents for the first time the real-time implementation of an emotional controller for interior permanent-magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) drives. The proposed novel controller is called brain emotional learning based intelligent controller (BELBIC). The utilization of BELBIC is based on an emotion processing mechanism in the brain and is essentially an action that is based on sensory inputs and emotional cues. The emotional learning occurs mainly in the amygdala. The amygdala is mathematically modeled, and BELBIC is introduced. This type of controller is insensitive to noise and variance of the parameters. The controller is successfully implemented in real time using a digital signal processor board ds1102 for a laboratory 1-hp IPMSM. The results show superior control characteristics, particularly very fast response, simple implementation, and robustness with respect to disturbances and manufacturing imperfections. The proposed method enables the designer to shape the response in accordance with the multiple objectives of choices.
