Fixed-Time Integral Sliding Mode Control Integrating RBF Network and Super-Twisting ESO for SPMSM

This paper proposes a composite fixed-time integral sliding mode control strategy for surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motors that integrates a radial basis function neural network and a super-twisting extended state observer to achieve robust speed regulation with guaranteed fixed-time convergence, effectively suppressing chattering and compensating for both internal uncertainties and external disturbances.
