In this paper, the internal model control (IMC) method is applied to AC machine current control. Permanent magnet synchronous machines and induction machines are considered. The result is synchronous-frame proportional integral (PI) or PI-type controllers, the parameters (gain and integration time) of which are expressed directly in certain machine parameters and the desired closed-loop bandwidth. This simplifies the controller design procedure, eliminating or reducing the need for trial-and-error steps, and is the main purpose for using IMC.
