Sensorless control methods are generally used in motor control for home-appliances because of the material cost and manufactureing standard restrictions. The current model-based control algorithm is mainly used for PMSM sensorless control in the home-appliance industry. In this control method, the rotor position is estimated by using the d-axis and q-axis current errors between the real system and a motor model of the position estimator. As a result, the accuracy of the motor model parameters are critical in this control method. A mismatch of the PMSM parameters affects the speed and torque in low speed, steadystate responses. Rotor position errors are mainly caused by a mismatch of the stator resistance. In this paper, a stator resistance compensation algorithm is proposed to improve sensorless control performance. This algorithm is easy to implement and does not require a modification of the motor model or any special interruptions of the controller. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified through experimental results.

PMSM은 높은 토크 특성과 우수한 전력 밀도, 논은 효율 때문에 산업용 빛 가정용 기기로 널리 사용되고 있다. PMSM의 우수한 제어 수행을 위해서는 회전자 위치의 정확한 정보가 필요하다. 그러나 위치 센서의 가격이 비싸고, 열악한 환경에서 신뢰도가 떨어지기 때문에 최근에는 센서리스 알고리즘에 대한 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 회전자 위치의 추정을 위해 쇄교 자속의 도함수를 이용한다. 수치적 미분을 행하지 않고 전압 방정식과 측정된 상전류를 이용한 수식적 미분을 통해 쇄교 자속을 구하는 a-$\beta$ 변환과 수식적 미분을 이용한 새로운 센서리스 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 센서리스 속도 제어 알고리즘이 실험을 통해 증명된다.

Low costed position sensor or sensorless control method is generally used in the motor control for home appliance because of the material cost and manufacture standard restriction. In conventional sensorless method, the stator resistance and back-EMF coefficient are varied by the motor speed and load torque variation. Therefore, position error occurred when the motor is operated by sensorless control method because of these variations. In this paper, the compensation method is proposed for sensorless position error using the MRAS method and compared with the other sensorless control method.

산업용 기기 및 가정용 기기 분야에서 서보 전동기 이용의 급부상으로 인하여 PMSM의 센서리스 제어에 대한 연구가 활발히 연구되고 있다. 센서리스 제어시 그 기초가 되는 것은 역기전력 항이다. 일반적인 센서리스 제어는 역기전력을 추정하고 그 역기전력을 적분하는 형태를 취하여 회전자의 위치를 추정하고 있다. 이 방식에서 두 좌표축의 역기전력 항을 구하기 위해서는 역기전력의 크기와 회전자 위치가 서로 직접적으로 연관되어 있어 두 파라미터를 동시에 정확하게 추정하기는 쉽지 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 PMSM의 구동을 위해 필수적인 회전자의 위치 각을 역기전력의 크기의 변수를 사용하지 않는 정규화한 역기전력 항으로 구하는 방법을 제안한다. 또한 실험을 통하여 그 타당성을 입증하였다.

Speed and torque controls of permanent magnet synchronous motors are usually attained by the application of position and speed sensors. However, speed and position sensors require the additional mounting space, reduce the reliability in harsh environments and increase the cost of a motor. Therefore, many studies have been performed for the elimination of speed and position sensors. This paper investigates a novel sensorless control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor. The proposed control strategy utilizes the active and reactive torque control for maximizing the active torque of a sensorless PMSM. The proposed algorithm is verified through the simulation and experimentation.

This paper deals with the analysis of characteristics of position and speed estimator of an adaptive sensorless control algorithm for PMSM drives. The analysis shows that the back emf constant variation results in the position estimation error, but does not the speed estimation error. The simulation and experimental results are shown to verify the analysis result and the usefulness of the back emf constant estimator.

영구자석 동기전동기은 높은 효율성과 우수한 토크 발생 및 벡터 제어 성능이 뛰어나 많은 산업 현장을 포함하여 광범위하게 활용되어 지고 있다. 정밀한 제어를 위해서는 회전자의 속도 및 위치 정보를 필요로 하지만 속도 센서를 사용하면 안정성 및 환경의 영향에 신뢰도가 감소하는 단점이 있다. 센서리스 속도 제어 방식에서 측정된 값은 노이즈를 포함하게 되며 이는 정밀한 속도 제어에서 성능을 저해하는 방식으로 나타난다. 본 논문에서는 영구자석 동기전동기의 센서리스 속도 제어를 하기 위해 고정자 전류 및 속도와 회전자 위치를 무향 칼만 필터를 이용하여 추정하였으며 시뮬레이션을 통해 기존의 방식인 확장 칼만 필터와 상호 비교하였다. 제안된 모델의 타당성을 입증하기 위해 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며 동일한 모델을 통한 실험에서 속도 오차 정확성을 검증하였다.

PMSMS (permanent magnet synchronous motors) are widely used in industrial applications and home appliances because of their high torque to inertia ratio, superior power density, and high efficiency. For high performance control, accurate informations about the rotor position is essential. Sensorless algorithms have lately been studied extensively due to the high cost of position sensors and their low reliability in harsh environments. A novel position sensorless speed control for PMSMs uses indirect flux estimation and is presented in this paper. Rotor position and angular velocity are estimated by the proposed indirect flux estimation. Linkage flux and magnetic field flux are calculated by the voltage equations and the measured phase current without any integration. Instead of linkage flux calculation with integral operation, indirect flux and differential magnetic field are used for the estimation of rotor position. A proper rejection technique fur current noise effect in the calculation of differential linkage flux is introduced. The proposed indirect flux detecting method is free from the integral rounding error and linkage flux drift problem, because differential linkage flux can be calculated without any integral operation. Furthermore, electrical parameters of the PMSM can be measured by the proposed TCM (time compression method) for soft starting and precise estimation of rotor position. The position estimator uses accurate electrical parameters that are obtained from the proposed TCM at starting strategy. In the operating region, a proper compensation method fur temperature effect can compensate fir the estimation error from the variation of electrical parameters. The proposed novel position sensorless speed control scheme is verified by the experimental results.

An inverter output power control based power factor correction (PFC) strategy is being extensively used for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives in appliances because such a strategy can considerably reduce the cost and size of the inverter. In this strategy, PFC circuits are removed and large electrolytic DC-link capacitors are replaced with small film capacitors. In this application, the PMSM d-q axes currents are controlled to produce ripples, the frequency of which is twice that of the AC main voltage, to obtain a high power factor at the AC mains. This process indicates that the PMSM operates under periodic magnetic saturation conditions. This paper proposes a back electromotive-force (back-EMF) estimator for the high-speed sensorless control of PMSM operating under periodic magnetic saturation conditions. The transfer function of the back-EMF estimator is analyzed to examine the effect of the periodic magnetic saturation on the accuracy of the estimated rotor position. A simple compensation method for the estimated position errors caused by the periodic magnetic saturation is also proposed in this paper. The effectiveness of the proposed method is experimentally verified with the use of a PMSM drive for a vacuum cleaner centrifugal fan, wherein the maximum operating speed reaches 30,000 rpm.

With increase of servo motor In industrial and home application, a number of papers related to PMSM control have been researched. Among them, sensorless control schemes are especially concerned in the view point of its cost reduction. In the conventional approach, a rotor position is generally estimated by the integration of estimated rotor speed. In this method, because of their tight relationship between the amplitude of back-emf and rotor position. it is somewhat difficult to find two parameters at the same time. To solve this problem, a novel sensorless control scheme is proposed. It utilizes a back-emf normalization, so it does not requires the variables related with the amplitude of back-emf. The validity of the proposed control scheme was verified through experimental results.
