Abstract: Starting from the nonlinear operating equations of the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) and from the global strategy of the field-oriented control (FOC), this article compares the linear and nonlinear control of a PMSM. It presents the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) algorithm as a linear control algorithm, in addition to that obtained through feedback linearization (FL). Naturally, the nonlinear approach through the Lyapunov and Hamiltonian functions leads to results that are superior to those of the linear algorithms. With the particle swarm optimization (PSO), simulated annealing (SA), genetic algorithm (GA), and gray wolf Optimization (GWO) computational intelligence (CI) algorithms, the performance of the PMSM–control system (CS) was optimized by obtaining parameter vectors from the control algorithms by optimizing specific performance indices. Superior performance of the PMSM–CS was also obtained by using reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms, which provided correction command signals (CCSs) after the training stages. Starting from the PMSM–CS performance that was obtained for a benchmark, there were four types of linear and nonlinear control algorithms for the control of a PMSM, together with the means of improving the PMSM–CS performance by using CI algorithms and RL–twin delayed deep deterministic policy gradient (TD3) agent algorithms. The article also presents experimental results that confirm the superiority of PMSM–CS–CI over classical PI-type controllers.
