A novel decoupling control method based on neural networks inverse system is presented in this paper for a bearingless synchronous reluctance motor (BSRM) possessing the characteristics of multi-input-multi-output, nonlinearity, and strong coupling. The dynamic mathematical models are built, which are verified to be invertible. A controller based on neural network inverse is designed, which decouples the original nonlinear system to two linear position subsystems and an angular velocity subsystem. Furthermore, the linear control theory is applied to closed-loop synthesis to meet the desired performance. Simulation and experiment results show that the presented neural networks inverse control strategy can realize the dynamic decoupling of BSRM, and that the control system has fine dynamic and static performance.
