Optimal Output-Feedback Controller Design Using Adaptive Dynamic Programming: A Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Application

This brief introduces a novel adaptive optimal output-feedback controller for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) systems, eliminating the need for prior knowledge of system dynamics, numerous integral window functions, or unmeasurable states and load torque. Initially, we design an adaptive optimal output-feedback controller by constructing internal states. Then, a policy iteration algorithm based on adaptive dynamic programming approximates the optimal output-feedback gain using only input and trajectory tracking error information. Notably, this method does not require the minimal polynomial of an exosystem or the solution of regulator equations, facilitating the overall design of the feedforward-feedback controller. The effectiveness of the proposed learning algorithm is validated on a PMSM system.
