Abstract

In this paper, two approaches for designing tracking controllers for a variable reluctance motor (VRM), namely the Lyapunov-based fuzzy approach and the classical approach, are compared. The nonlinear model of a VRM is first addressed. The two control schemes are introduced afterwards, and then applied to obtain tracking controllers. Simulation results of a sample case, to which the methods are applied, are also presented. Comparison of the methods based on the results obtained concludes the paper.
