Model-based maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) control methods of interior permanent magnet synchronous motors (IPMSM) often suffer from poor robustness. To address this issue, a new MTPA control method based on current angle searching with sliding-mode extremum seeking is proposed. Based on Lyapunov’s criterion, the stability of the proposed MTPA method is proven. By analyzing the formation and switching process of a sliding-mode surface, the convergence speed and control accuracy of the proposed MTPA are derived. Compared with the conventional MTPA method, based on the sinusoidal excitation extremum search algorithm, the proposed method does not require either a sinusoidal excitation signal or high-pass and low-pass filters. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by experiment.
