An Adaptive Quasi-Sliding-Mode Rotor Position Observer-Based Sensorless Control For Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines, Yue Zhao, Wei Qiao, Long Wu Jan 2013

An Adaptive Quasi-Sliding-Mode Rotor Position Observer-Based Sensorless Control For Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines, Yue Zhao, Wei Qiao, Long Wu

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering: Faculty Publications

Advantages such as parameter insensitivity and high robustness to system structure uncertainty make the sliding-mode observer (SMO) a promising solution for sensorless control of interior permanentmagnet synchronousmachines (IPMSMs). In practical industry applications, in order to utilize digital controllers and achieve comparable performance under a lower sampling frequency, a discrete-time or quasi-SMO (QSMO) is commonly used. However, because of the saliency of an IPMSM, the magnitude of the extended electromotive force (EMF) will change with load (torque and/or speed) variations, whichmakes it challenging for the QSMO to estimate the extended EMF accurately. Without proper observer parameters, a phase shift will be …

Sensorless Control Of Surface-Mounted Permanent-Magnet Synchronous Machines For Low-Speed Operation Based On High-Frequency Square-Wave Voltage Injection, Yue Zhao, Zhe Zhang, Cong Ma, Wei Qiao, Liyan Qu

This paper proposes a high-frequency signal injection-based position estimation scheme for surface-mounted permanent-magnet synchronous machines (SPMSM) operating in the low-speed range. A square-wave voltage vector is injected in the estimated rotating reference frame. The rotor position information is then extracted from the envelopes of the resulting induced high-frequency currents in the stationary reference frame. The proposed position estimation method has almost no dependence on machine asymmetric properties and, therefore, is well suited for SPMSM applications. Simulation results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method from 1 Hz to 50 Hz electric fundamental frequency under all load conditions. …


Model Reference Adaptive System-Based Speed Estimators For Sensorless Control Of Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines, Yue Zhao, Wei Qiao, Long Wu Jan 2013

Model Reference Adaptive System-Based Speed Estimators For Sensorless Control Of Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines, Yue Zhao, Wei Qiao, Long Wu

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering: Faculty Publications

In this work, speed estimators are designed based on a model reference adaptive system (MRAS) for sensorless control of interior permanent magnet synchronous machines (IPMSMs). To provide better filtering performance and reduce the noise contents in the estimated speed, an adaptive line enhancer is proposed to work with a sliding-mode observer to provide an improved reference model for speed estimation. In addition, a heterodyning speed adaption scheme is proposed to replace the conventional speed adaption mechanism. The proposed MRASbased speed estimator has two different operating modes, which are suitable for generator- and motor-type applications, respectively. The effectiveness of the proposed …
