Abstract

Electric vehicles are gaining popularity due to their environmental friendliness and the need to conserve dwindling fossil fuel resources. In this field, interior permanent magnet (IPM) motors are considered the top choice for propulsion systems due to their high efficiency, high torque-to-current ratio, durability, and low noise. To optimize the speed control performance of IPM motors in the presence of disturbances, a nonlinear speed control algorithm for IPM systems using the backstepping method is developed in this paper. Additionally, a load torque observer using the extended state observer (ESO) method is implemented to enable the system to respond quickly and accurately to load changes while minimizing the effects of disturbances, thereby enhancing the operation and reliability of electric vehicles. The simulation results, conducted in MATLAB/Simulink, demonstrate that the combination of backstepping control and ESO offers good stability for the motor system, while mitigating the impact of disturbances and load variations. This is an important step in optimizing the control system of electric vehicles, contributing to the improvement of performance and reliability in electric vehicle applications.
