Sensorless SPMSM Position Estimation Using Position Estimation Error Suppression Control and EKF in Wide Speed Range

Abstract

The control of a high performance alternative current (AC) motor drive under sensorless operation needs the accurate estimation of rotor position. In this paper, one method of accurately estimating rotor position by using both motor complex number model based position estimation and position estimation error suppression proportion integral (PI) controller is proposed for the sensorless control of the surface permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM). In order to guarantee the accuracy of rotor position estimation in the flux-weakening region, one scheme of identifying the permanent magnet flux of SPMSM by extended Kalman filter (EKF) is also proposed, which formed the effective combination method to realize the sensorless control of SPMSM with high accuracy. The simulation results demonstrated the validity and feasibility of the proposed position/speed estimation system.

Discrete-Time Backstepping Sliding Mode Control for a 2-DOF PAM-Based Exoskeleton

“…Rehabilitation robots are often expensive due to their high manufacturing cost, mainly because electric motors power them [1,2]. However, a growing interest is in developing low-cost robots that can operate efficiently.…”

Resource Efficient Architecture for Current Control Loop of Two PMSMs

“…Commonly, the conventional PMSM closed loop current controls use space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) and two separate current control loops for individual current. Each current control loop for d, q axis contains one PI controller [2,4], so four PI controllers are needed to control two PMSM.…”
