Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) have attracted great attention in the field of electric drive system. However, the disturbances caused by parameter mismatching, model uncertainty, external load and torque ripple seriously weaken the control accuracy. The traditional adaptive sliding mode control (ASMC) methodology can address slow-varying uncertainties/disturbances whose frequencies are located at the bandwidth of the filter used to design the adaptive law well; however, it has been barely discussed with respect to the periodic situation. In this paper, we extend the ASMC arrangement to periodic case to suppress the torque ripple by using a series-structure resonant controller. Firstly, a typical SMC is designed to force the tracking error of speed to converge to zero and obtain a certain capacity to disturbance. Then, the improved adaptive law is incorporated to estimate the lumped disturbance and torque ripple. The improved adaptive law is enhanced by embedding the resonant controller, which can obtain a better estimating result for torque ripple with repetitive feature. Finally, simulation and experimental results with PI, SMC and proposed methods are compared to verify the effectiveness of the developed controller.
