Torque Estimation using Kalman Filter and Extended Kalman Filter Algorithms for a sensorless Direct Torque Controlled BLDC Motor drive: A Comparative Study

Abstract

Torque estimation for Direct Torque Controlled BLDC motor drive using Kalman Filter and Extended Kalman Filter are described in this paper. In conventional direct torque control method, the torque estimation is done based on the position information, which in turn requires position sensors for accurate estimation. In this paper, torque is directly estimated using Kalman filter and Extended Kalman Filter algorithms without the aid of any feedback information, and a comparison is made between the two. Both the algorithms are perceptive to follow the actual torque; the error between the actual and reference is used for the selection of appropriate voltage vector for inverter switching. The reflection of load changes in the control algorithm is also a part of the interest in this work. The potential of Extended Kalman Filter to follow exactly the changes in the load torque is utilized here and Extended Kalman Filter based sensorless drive is proposed for the torque estimation in Direct Torque Controlled BLDC motor. The performance parameters, viz. computational effort, torque ripple reduction are found to be superior with the Extended Kalman Filter algorithm, which is validated.

Model Predictive Direct Torque Control of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) with Online Parameter Estimation Based on Extended Kalman Filter

“…The MPDTC system of PMSM is a typical nonlinear system and its stability consists of two parts: Firstly, stability of the original system; Secondly, stability of designed EKF. According to literature [16], the EKF of the uniformly completely controllable and observable system is stable, and the initial value of the error covariance matrix can be arbitrary value.…”

Study of a cloud-based manufacturing tracking registration scheme

“…The emergence of cloud manufacturing models and the shortcomings of traditional tracking models have greatly inspired us to design a Tracking registration system for cloud resources (TRSCR). In TRSCR, we propose a target tracking model based on spatial features, followed by a kalman filtering algorithm to predict the state of the target [8], and finally complete the tracking registration of cloud resources [9]. The main contributions of this paper are summarised below.…”
