Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

Online First articles are published online here, before they appear in a journal issue. Online First articles are fully citeable, complete with a DOI. They can be cited, read, and downloaded. Online First articles are published as Open Access (OA) articles to make the latest research available as early as possible.

Open AccessArticles marked with this Open Access icon are Online First articles. They are freely available and openly accessible to all without any restriction except the ones stated in their respective CC licenses.

  • Comparative analysis of speed control strategies for five-phase PMSM in propulsion systems of two-seater all-electric aircraft   Order a copy of this article
    by Cong-Thanh Pham, Quoc-Khai Tran, Chan Thanh Huu Nguyen 
    Abstract: To enhance system stability and speed control for a five-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (5PMSM) in the propulsion of a two-seater all-electric aircraft, this study compares advanced speed control strategies. The strategies evaluated include feedforward-proportional-integral (FPI) and adaptive backstepping sliding mode (ABS) control, systematically analysed against the classical PI controller. These strategies aim to replace the five traditional PI controllers used in field-oriented control (FOC), enhancing control performance quality. The FPI strategy augments the PI controller by incorporating the difference between current and previous control signal components, enabling effective dqxy-axis regulation. The ABS strategy further enhances control robustness by integrating nonlinear backstepping and sliding mode techniques, ensuring better adaptability to system uncertainties and disturbances. This comparative analysis demonstrates the potential of advanced control methods to improve 5PMSM performance in electric aircraft applications, simulation results conducted in MATLAB software to evaluate effectiveness of the proposed control strategies.
