Variable-speed drives are being continually innovated. Recently, sensorless induction motor drives have been much studied due to several advantages. Most sensorless algorithms are based on the mathematical modeling of motors, and all the information is obtained from the monitored voltages and currents. Therefore, the accuracy of such variables largely affects the performance of a sensorless induction motor drive. However, the output voltage of the SVPWM-VSI which is widely used in a sensorless induction motor drive has a considerable error, especially in a low speed range. This paper proposes a variation of the dc link voltage as a high-performance strategy for overcoming the above problem. The proposed strategy leads to an improved resolution of the output voltage of the SVPWM-VSI in a sensorless induction motor drive. Simulation and experiment have been performed for the verification of the proposed strategy.

A control approach for the sensorless speed control of interior permanent magnet synchronous motor(IPMSM) based on adaptive integral the binary is proposed. With a main loop regulator and an auxiliary loop regulator, the binary observer has a property of the chattering alleviation in the constant boundary layer. However, the width of the constant boundary limits the steady state estimation accuracy and robustness. In order to improve the steady state performance of the binary observer, the binary observer is formed by adding extra integral augmented switching the hyperplane equation. By mean of integral characteristics, the rotor speed can be finely estimated and utilized for a sensorless speed controller for IPMSM. The proposed adaptive integral binary observer applies an adaptive scheme, because the parameters of the dynamic equations such as the machine inertia or the viscosity friction coefficient is not well known and these values can be easily changed generally during normal operation. Therefore, the observer can overcome the problem caused by using the dynamic equations, and the rotor speed estimation is constructed by using the Lyapunov function. The experimental results of the proposed algorithm are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach.

This paper proposes the improved transition scheme for a sensorless drive of an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM). In order to operate the IPMSM, the current controller can be used until 300 rpm for the initial operation. After that, the control method of IPMSM is changed to the speed controller for the sensorless control method. At that point, the rotor speed overshoot is generated due to the rapid change of the current reference for the speed controller. The proposed algorithm is able to reduce the overshoot of a rotor speed by compensating the estimated feedforward value to the speed controller. The feedforward value of the current reference is estimated by using a coordinate transformation and is approximated to the current reference after the transition of the control mode. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is verified by experiments using an IPMSM drive system.

Sensorless PMSM is much studied for the industrial applications and home appliances because a mechanical sensor reduce reliability and increase cost. Most of sensorless algorithms are based on motor equations, and so the magnitude of phase voltage and current should be exactly obtained. However, the inverter output voltage applied to PMSM has relatively large error in the low speed range, and a relatively poor response is shown in the low speed range. This paper investigates the improved performance of sensorless PMSM in the low speed range. This paper proposes the error reduction of inverter output voltage which is realized through the variable link voltage. The proposed algorithm is verified through simulation and experiment.

A Fuzzy PI controller is used for robust and fast speed control and space vector modulation method is used for PWM wave generation in this proposed system. The computer simulation results show that the proposed controller are more excellent control characteristics than conventional PI controller in transient-state response.

In this paper, an improved direct torque control (DTC) method for sensorless matrix converter drives is proposed which enables to minimize torque ripple, to obtain unity input power factor, and to achieve good sensorless speed-control performance in the low speed operation, while maintaining constant switching frequency and fast torque dynamics. It is possible to combine the advantages of matrix converters with the advantages of the DTC strategy using space vector modulation and a flux deadbeat controller. To overcome the phase current distortion by the non-linearity of a matrix converter drive, the simple non-linearity compensation method using PQR power theory are presented in the proposed scheme. Experimental results are shown to illustrate the feasibility of the proposed strategy.

The cold staring issue of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) is a chronic problem in the field of PMSM sensorless drives. A traditional starting method, called the I-F method, is widely adopted because of its simple structure. However, when using this method, the pre-defined magnitude and frequency of the starting current should be changed according to the condition of the load and machine inertia. In this paper, a smart and simple algorithm for the cold starting of PMSM is proposed. In the proposed method, an integrated control angle from the estimated electrical rotor speed is used for vector control such as the indirect vector control of the induction machine. Thus, very stable cold starting is performed regardless of the machine load condition or inertia changing.

This paper is proposed a ANN-based rotor position and speed estimation method for IPMSM by measuring the currents. Because the proposed estimator treats the estimated motor speed as the weights, it is possible to estimate motor speed to adapt back propagation algorithm with 2 layered neural network. The proposed control algorithm is applied to IPMSM drive system. The operating characteristics controlled by neural networks are examined in detail.

This paper discusses stability of new simplified sensorless vector control systems of induction motors (IM). The simplified sensorless systems estimate the flux angle by using the output voltage of d-axis PI current controller to achieve the q-axis flux zero. Two simplified sensorless systems are studied. The difference of two systems is the presence or absence of a q-axis PI current controller. The systems stability is compared by deriving linear state equations and showing root loci and unstable regions. Furthermore, transient responses and experiment results make clear the stability of the proposed system.

본 논문에서는 풍력발전기의 회전속도센서의 고장 발생 시 고장을 검출하고 회전속도센서의 사용 없이 Sensorless 제어로의 전환에 관한 연구를 기술하였다. 최근 풍력발전은 급속한 성장함에 따라 풍력발전기의 대형화 및 해상풍력화 추세에 있다. 특히 해상풍력발전은 바람 및 설치장소의 제약에서 벗어나는 이점에 반해 염해, 습도 및 파도에 의한 진동 발생으로 센서의 고장 발생률이 높을 것으로 예상된다. 이에 따라 풍력발전기의 회전속도센서 고장 발생 시 이를 검출하는 방법을 제시하였다. 또한 회전속도센서의 고장이 검출되면 회전속도센서를 이용한 풍력발전기 제어방식에서 Sensorless 제어로의 전환을 통해 안전하게 풍력발전기를 운전할 수 있도록 하였다. 연구된 제어기법은 PSIM을 이용한 시물레이션을 통해 결과를 검증하였다.
