This technique does not require the exact knowledge of the mathematical model of the controlled system or the type of uncertainties. To improve the performance of the PMSM control system without using controllers having a more complicated mathematical description, the advantages provided by reinforcement learning (RL) for process control can also be used.

Furthermore, using such a control structure, very good performance of the PMSM control system is also obtained under conditions of parametric uncertainties and significant variations in the combined rotor-load moment of inertia and the load resistance.

Moreover, a number of significant improvements in the performance of PMSM control systems, also based on the FOC control strategy, are obtained if the controller of the speed control loop uses sliding mode control (SMC), and if the controllers for the inner control loops of idand iqcurrents are of the synergetic type. In addition to their low complexity (an advantage for real-time implementation), these controllers also provide limited performance due to the nonlinear character of the description equations of the PMSM model under the usual conditions of a relatively wide variation in the load torque and the high dynamics of the PMSM speed reference. The field-oriented control (FOC) strategy of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) in a simplified form is based on PI-type controllers.
