Adaptive observer of rotor speed and position for PMSM sensorless control system Available to Purchase

This paper deals with the problem of rotor speed and position detection in sensorless permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives. A concept based on detecting the back EMF induced in stator windings was developed and modified. A general structure of an adaptive observer with the proportional‐integral function of a corrector is introduced. The non‐stationary character of the observer presented in this paper requires an adaptive change of observer corrector settings. Such observer structure was implemented on a DSP system and verified experimentally. Both simulation and experimental results show good properties of the proposed observer structure.
