Nonlinear Flux Linkage Observer with Model Reference Adaptive System for Improved Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Control

Abstract

This paper addresses performance degradation in nonlinear flux linkage algorithms, arising from estimation errors in rotor flux linkage due to fluctuations in current and temperature. We introduce a parameter-adaptive flux linkage model using MRAS, which dynamically adjusts the rotor flux linkage, significantly minimizing estimation errors and improving control performance. When the rotor flux linkage of the motor undergoes sudden changes, the nonlinear flux linkage model shows a speed fluctuation of 5%, whereas the parameter-adaptive flux linkage model reduces the error to 0.6%. The algorithm demonstrates strong robustness when the stator resistance undergoes a sudden change. The control effectiveness under conditions such as load start and load mutation is excellent. Simulations and experiments demonstrate that the parameter-adaptive flux linkage model improves the estimation accuracy of the rotor position when motor parameters change.
