Permanent magnet synchronous motor sensorless control based on rotor flux observer with low-pass filter adaptation

Abstract

This paper presents a strategy for a permanent magnet synchronous motor sensorless vector control based on rotor flux estimation considering a rotor saliency. The integration problem in the stator flux estimation was solved by replacing the integrator with a low-pass filter. The low-pass filter parametric adaptation algorithm with phase delay compensation, based on Bode diagrams was designed for the rotor angular position estimation accuracy improving. The proposed adaption algorithm allowed to expand a stable motor control with a high accuracy in the rotor position estimation down to 15 rpm. Also the developed rotor angular position estimation algorithm together with adaptive field weakening algorithm provides a sable motor operation with a high accuracy in the rotor position estimation at the high speed.
