description To address the issues of poor stability and susceptibility to external disturbances in traditional model reference adaptive systems (MRASs) for permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs), this paper proposes a sliding mode control strategy based on an improved model reference adaptive observer. First, the dynamic equations of the PMSM are used as the reference model, while the stator current equations incorporating speed variables are constructed as the adjustable model. Subsequently, a novel adaptive law is designed using Popov’s hyperstability theory to enhance the estimation accuracy of rotor position. A fractional-order system was introduced to construct both a fractional-order sliding surface and reaching law. Subsequently, a comparative study was conducted between the conventional integral terminal sliding surface and the proposed novel sliding mode reaching law. The results demonstrate that the new reaching law can adaptively adjust the switching gain based on system state variables. Under sudden load increases, the improved system achieves a 25% reduction in settling time compared to conventional sliding mode control (SMC), along with a 44% decrease in maximum speed fluctuation and a 42% reduction in maximum torque ripple, significantly enhancing dynamic response performance. Furthermore, a variable-gain terminal sliding mode controller is derived, and the stability of the closed-loop control system is rigorously proven using Lyapunov theory. Finally, simulations verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed control strategy in improving system robustness and disturbance rejection capability.
