This paper presents a flux estimator for the sensorless vector control of induction motors. The proposed method utilize the combination of the voltage model based on stator equivalent model and the current model based on rotor equivalent model, which enables stable estimation of rotor flux in high speed region and in low speed region. The dynamic performance of proposed method is verified through the experiment. The experimental results show that motors ran easily start even under 150[%] load condition and operate continuously below 0.5[Hz].

In this paper, a novel sensorless brushless DC (BLDC) motor drive method using the fuzzy back-EMF observer is proposed to improve the performance of conventional sensorless drive methods. Most existing back-EMF sensing methods need additional circuit and have a low performance intransient state or low speed range. Therefore, this paper proposes the fuzzy back-EMF observer and an algorithm using this observer to estimate a speed and a position of the rotor. The robustness of the proposed algorithm is proved through the simulation compared with other sensorless drive methods.

Recently, sensorless induction motor drives have been much studied due to several advantages. Sensorless drives eliminate the additional mounting space, increase the reliability in harsh environments, and reduce the cost of a motor. This paper investigates an improved sliding mode observer for the sensorless speed control of an induction motor. The proposed control strategy is the sliding mode observer with a variable boundary layer for a low-chattering and fast-response control. The proposed sensorless-algorithm is verified through the simulation and experimentation.

This paper presents a design method of programmable low pass filter(PLPF) which reduce an estimation error of a zero crossing point(ZCP) for a high speed brushless DC(BLDC) motor drive. BLDC motor sensorless drive is possible by estimation of ZCP. The ZCP estimated by detecting a change of back-EMF polarity has the estimation error because noises exist on the measured back-EMF. Therefore a calculated commutation timing using the ZCP is inaccurate. And the inexact commutation timing leads to ripples of 3-phase current and degradation of drive performance. This paper proposes the design method of the PLPF to overcome these problems. First, a speed calculated a inaccurate period of the ZCP is analyzed in the frequency domain. Then, the PLPF that has varying cut-off frequency according to change of the speed is designed on the frequency analysis result. The proposed method is verified by the experiment.

Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) have higher torque and superior output power per volume than other types of AC motors. They are commonly used for applications that require a large output power and a wide range of speed. For precise control of PMSMs, knowing the accurate position of the rotor is essential, and normally position sensors such as a resolver or an encoder are employed. On the other hand, the position sensors make the driving system expensive and unstable if the attached sensor malfunctions. Therefore, sensorless algorithms are widely researched nowadays, to reduce the cost and cope with sensor failure. This paper proposes a sensorless algorithm that can be applied to a wide range of speed. The proposed method features a robust operation at low-speed as well as high-speed ranges by employing a gain adjustment scheme and intermittent voltage pulse injection method. In the proposed scheme the position estimation gain is tuned by a closed loop manner to have stable operation in tough driving environment. The proposed algorithm is fully verified by various experiments done with a 1 kW outer rotor-type PMSM.

The paper proposes a sensorless speed control strategy for a PMSM (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) based on a new SMO (Sliding Mode Observer), which substitutes a signum function with a sigmoid function. To apply robust sensorless control of PMSM against parameter fluctuations and disturbance, the high speed SMO is proposed, which estimates the rotor position and angular velocity from the back EMF. The low-pass filter and additional position compensation of the rotor are used to reduce the chattering problem commonly found in sliding mode observer with signum function, which becomes possible by applying the sigmoid function with the control of a switching function. Also the proposed sliding mode observer with the sigmoid function has better efficiency than the conventional sliding mode observer since it adjusts the observer gain by variable boundary layer and estimates the stator resistance. The stability of the proposed sliding mode observer is verified by the Lyapunov second method in determining the observer gain. The validity of the proposed high speed PMSM sensorless velocity control has been demonstrated by real experiments.

Recent high-end treadmills are demanding stable performance at lower speeds. In this study, a slip control-based induction motor sensorless algorithm for treadmills, which have heavy load variations, is proposed. A modified Gopinath flux estimator is used to evaluate the rotor flux. Results indicate that a good speed regulation performance is achieved even at a low speed of approximately 3 Hz with a nominal exercise load of 90 kg body weight. The slip calculation method in the stationary coordinate system is adopted to improve the control stability. The proposed algorithm is verified throughout the simulation study using PSIM, and the experimental test consists of a commercial treadmill system.
