This thesis evaluates the robustness of different torque control strategies to parameter uncertainties for an electric traction motor. Parameter errors and/or errors in observed/measured quantities are considered. The main goal is to determine which torque control method shows the best robustness towards the most common mismatches in real-world applications between motor and controller/observer. More in detail, the present work first assesses the main requirements for an automotive motor torque controller, alongside a comprehensive state-of-the-art study of the main control techniques used at the time of writing. Following the presentation of the main findings that justify the focus on a subset of control techniques, an in-depth analysis is carried out for all feasible operating points in the torque–speed plane.
