Abstract
The paper presents a comparative analysis regarding the control of electrical drives used for permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSM). All the studies are made using the system models implemented in MATLAB – Simulink, analysis’s being focused on the two considered control structures: the first based on the usage of a classic PI controller, respectively the second using a neuro-fuzzy controller. Also the study cases considered different functioning regimes of permanent magnet synchronous machine. Finally some relevant conclusion regarding these two control structures are exposed with practical applications. The core of the model is designed based on MATLAB - PSB (Power System Blockset) toolbox.
