Sensorless Control of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors based on Finite-Time Robust Flux Observer
Abstract
A sensorless control algorithm is developed based on novel finite-time robust flux observer for the non-salient permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). Total flux equality and motor model are used to find the linear regression-like model with respect to the flux. Applying dynamic regressor extension and mixing method, we obtain two independent scalar equations and construct a finite-time flux observer. The flux estimate is used to reconstruct the rotor position and velocity with well-known trigonometric relation and phase-locked loop observer, respectively. To complete a sensorless control design, we pass these estimates to standard field orient control. The efficiency and robustness of the proposed approach are demonstrated through the set of numerical simulations.
