This paper describes the two control techniques to perform the sensorless vector control of a PMSM by injecting the high frequency voltage to the stator terminal. The first technique is the estimation algorithm of the initial rotor position. A PMSM possesses the saliency which produces the ellipse of the stator current when the high frequency voltage is injected into the motor terminal. The major axis angle of the current ellipse gives the rotor position information at a standstill. The second control technique is a sensorless control algorithm that injects the high frequency voltage to the stator terminal in order to estimate the rotor position and speed. The rotor position and speed for sensorless vector control is calculated by appropriate signal processing to extract the position information from the stator current at low speeds or standstill. The proposed sensorless algorithm using the double-band hysteresis controller exhibits excellent reference tracking and increased robustness. Experimental results are presented to verify the feasibility of the proposed control schemes. Speed, position estimation and vector control were carried out on the floating point processor TMS320VC33.

This paper deals with the position and torque control of a toroidal type rotor which has a magnetic bearing structure. The proposed magnetic bearing structure supports the rotor by the repulsive forces of permanent magnets, and has a two degree of freedom for rotor position when the rotor is rotating. Permanent magnets and coils in the stator allow for a two degree of freedom control of the rotor position and torque generation by reacting with permanent magnets of the rotor. The executed gyro actuator has a number of poles such as five-phase permanent magnet motors and 10 stator coils for the rotor position control. In this study, the verification of the stability of the magnetic bearing was conducted using the equation of motion when the rotor was rotating, and the coil current commutation method for the position control and torque generation was studied. As a result, the feasibility of the proposed structure and control was verified by simulations of Finite Element Method (FEM) and experiments using the executed gyro actuator.

This paper proposes the rotor position and rotor speed estimation for an interior permanent magnet synchronous machines (IPMSM) using Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) in alpha-beta coordinate system. Conventional algorithms using UKF are based on the simple observer model of IPMSM in d-q coordinate system. Rotor acceleration is neglected within the sampling step. An expansion of the observer model in an alpha-beta coordinate system with the consideration of the rotor speed variation provides the improved rotor position and speed estimation. The results show good stability concerning the expansion of observer model for the IPMSM.

In this paper, a novel indirect rotor position sensing method is proposed to improve the performance of sensorless drive of brushless DC motors. Fast mode change to the sensorless operation is difficult in the existing indirect rotor position sensing methods because precise rotor position can not be obtained when an excessive input is applied to the drive during synchronous operation mode. To cope with this problem, the relationship between terminal voltage and back-emf waveform is analyzed in this paper, also a novel indirect position sensing method which can detect a precise rotor position at low speed range is proposed. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through the experimental results.

In this paper, a detection technique of initial rotor position at a standstill in Toroidal Switched Reluctance Motor(TSRM) with built-in interior central pole search coil is proposed. In case search coils are used as a position sensor, it has many advantages like low cost, decrease in the volume, high robust characteristics and wide applications. However, the initial rotor position detection is very difficult because the search coil's EMF is not exist at a standstill. In this paper, a new detection method of initial rotor position is suggested using interior central pole search coil. The simulation and experiment for the proposed method and their results support the validity of the proposed scheme by verifying the operation of a 6/4 TSRM using search coils.

This paper presents a new velocity estimation strategy of a non-salient permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive without high frequency signal injection or special PWM pattern. This approach is based on the d-axis current regulator output voltage of the drive system that has the information of rotor position error. The rotor velocity can be estimated through a rotor position tracking PI controller that controls the position error to zero. For zero and low speed operation, PI controller gains of rotor position tracking controller have a variable structure according to the estimated rotor velocity. In order to boost the bandwidth of PI controller around zero speed, a loop recovery technique is applied to the control system. The proposed method only requires the flux linkage of permanent magnet and is insensitive to the parameter estimation error and variation. The designers can easily determine the possible operating range with a desired bandwidth and perform the vector control even at low speeds. The experimental results show the satisfactory operation of the proposed sensorless algorithm under rated load conditions.

본 논문은 단상 스위치드 릴럭턴스 모터의 역기전력 분석을 통해 회전자 위치를 추정하여 구동하는 센서리스 구동법을 제안한다. SRM은 회전자 위치에 따라 적정 고정자 권선을 여과시킴으로써 회전력을 발생하기 때문에 회전자 위치 정보가 필수적으로 요구된다. 회전자의 위치를 검출하기 위하여 다양한 회전자 위치센서를 사용하고 있으나 대부분의 위치 센서들은 모터의 부피와 구축비용을 증가시킬 뿐만 아니라 환경에 따라 구동시스템의 신뢰도를 저하시키는 경향이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제들을 해결하기 위해 역기전력을 이용한 방법을 제안한다. 회전자와 고정자가 겹쳐지는 순간(overlap point) 역기전력이 급격하게 변화하게 되는 지점을 검출하여 회전자의 위치를 추정할 수 있으며, 속도 계산을 통해 적절한 위치에서 스위치를 온, 오프하여 SRM을 구동하게 된다. 본 연구에서 제안한 방식을 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 그 타당성을 검증하였다.

This paper proposes a novel rotor position error calculation method for high-frequency signal-injected sensorless control. The rotor position error using the conventional modulation method can be only measured up to ${\pm}45^{\circ}$. In addition, when the rotor position estimation error is not sufficiently small, the small angle approximation in no longer valid. To overcome these problems, this study introduces a new rotor position error calculation method using the rotating matrix. In this study, the position error measurement range of the proposed method is extended from ${\pm}45^{\circ}$ to ${\pm}90^{\circ}$. The linearity between the real rotor position error and the estimated error is maintained by nearly $90^{\circ}$. These features of the proposed method improve the performance of the sensorless control. The validity of the proposed method is verified by simulations and experiments.

본 논문에서는 영구자석형 동기전동기의 벡터제어를 수행하는데 필요한 회전자의 위치, 특히 기동시의 초기 회전자 위치를 정확하게 검출하기 위하여 자기식 위치 센서를 사용하는 방법을 제안한다. 기존에는 홀센서의 출력 신호를 사용하여 초기 회전자의 위치를 판단하거나 이러한 센서를 사용하지 않는 센서리스 방식으로 제어를 수행하였으나 이 방법들은 위치 오차가 발생하고 정확도가 떨어지기 때문에 실용성 측면에서 만족스럽지 못하였다. 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하고자 본 논문에서는 자기식 위치 센서(magnetic position sensor)를 사용하여 초기 회전자의 위치를 검출하고자 한다. 이 방식을 사용하여 동기전동기의 초기 회전자 위치 검출이 부정확하여 벡터제어 시스템에서 전동기의 기동특성이 나빠지는 문제점을 해결하며, 소용량의 벡터제어 인버터를 저가격화하는 목적으로 자기식 위치 센서를 속도 및 위치 검출에 사용함으로써 자극 검출용의 홀센서와 회전속도 측정용의 로터리 엔코더를 하나로 통합하여 가격을 절반 이하로 낮추는 방안을 제안한다.

This paper presents a position sensorless control system of Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) using neural network. The control of SRM depends on the commutation of the stator phases in synchronism with the rotor position. The position sensing requirement increases the overall cost and complexity. In this paper, the current-flux-rotor position lookup table based position sensorless operation of SRM is presented. Neural network is used to construct the current-flux-rotor position lookup table, and is trained by sufficient experimental data. Experimental results for a 1-hp SRM is presented for the verification of the proposed sensorless algorithm.
