In this paper, an instantaneous speed observer with a reduced order is proposed to implement an indirect control for an motor with excellent dynamic stability and performance in a very low speed region. The proposed observer can estimate the instantaneous speed in very low speed region and simplify the system configuration by adopting a least order load torque-inertia observer to estimate the load torque and the rotor speed. Simulation are carried out to illustrate the performance of the proposed estimator at very low speed.

This paper presents a speed control of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) using an adaptive integral binary observer without speed and position sensors. In view of composition 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. In order to improve the steady state performance of the binary observer, the proposed adaptive integral binary observer is formed by adding extra integral dynamics to the switching hyperplane equation. The effectiveness of the proposed system is conformed by the experimental results.

This paper describes the speed-sensorless vector control system of a three-phase induction motor using sliding mode flux/speed observer. The sliding mode observer estimates the rotor speed. The error between the actual and observed currents converges to zero which guarantees the accuracy of the flux observer. The convergence of nonlinear time-varying observer along with the asymptotic stability of the controller was analyzed. To define the control action which maintains the motion on the sliding manifold, an "equivalent control" concept was used. It was simulated and implemented on a sensorless indirect vector drive for 750[W] three-phase induction motor. The simulation and experimental results demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed estimation method.

This paper proposes a sensorless speed control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) based on an adaptive sliding mode observer (SMO) for electric propulsion system of small ships. An adaptive observer gain is proposed based on the Lyapunov's stability criterion to reduce the chattering problem at any speed operation instead of the constant gain observer. Furthermore, a cascade low-pass filter with variable cut-off frequency is suggested to strengthen the filtering capability of the observer. The experimental results from a 1.5 kW PMSM drive are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive SMO. The result shows that the proposed method gives good speed control performances even when the PMSM operates at 0.5% from its rated speed value.

This paper presents an improved method for high-resolution rotor position estimation in the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives with low-resolution Hall-effect sensors. The proposed method adopts a gain-scheduled full-order speed observer. Since the quantized position signal, which is obtained from Hall-effect sensors, is basically used as the input of the observer, the sixth-order harmonics are essentially included in the estimated position. To eliminate the harmonic components, the quantized position is linearized by a linear extrapolation based on the estimated average speed and futhermore the speed-depentent observer gain scheduling strategy is developed. The observer gain is also scheduled by considering the motor acceleration to improve the dynamic performance according to the changes of the motor speed and load. Several experiments are performed for 800W PMSM drive and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper proposes an algorithm which improves capacity of a state observer and low speed driving characteristics of a induction motor by inertia moment identification. In induction motet driving systems, it is difficult to obtain the accurate speed information by a low resolution encoder because the encoder pulses are very few in a low speed range. To improve this problem, state observer based on the Gopinath' theory which estimates speed and disturbance was designed, and disturbance rejection control was realized by application of the observer. Also, inertia moment of the motor was estimated and the nominal inertia of the observer was identified to minimize the error of estimated speed and disturbance. From the simulation and experimental results, it is showed that the proposed observer improved the transient response characteristics in low speed region below 6［rpm］.

This study was to control magnetic field orientation-typed sensorless vector control by applying the theory of a rotor flux observer to drive an induction motor. This research suggested a new speed estimation method that estimates speed with the rotor flux obtained by using a flux observer and the variable of state current detected by a current sensor without a speed sensor. Because the speed estimation method is independent from the motor constants, it is not necessary to control the gain of the parameters and the algorithm is simple. In the findings of the study, the researcher was convinced of the control function and the possibility of realization in the simulation experiment of sensorless vector control system by using DSP(Digital Signal Prosessor).

This paper presents sensorless speed control of a cylindrical permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) using the adaptive integral binary observer. In view of the composition with a main loop regulator and an auxiliary loop regulator, the normal binary observer has the feature of chattering alleviation in the constant boundary layer. However, the steady state estimation accuracy and robustness are dependent upon the thickness of the constant boundary layer. In order to improve the steady state performance of the binary observer, a new binary observer is formed by the addition of extra integral dynamics to the existing switching hyperplane equation. Also, because the parameters of the dynamic equations such as machine inertia or viscosity friction coefficient are not well known and these values can be changed during normal operations, there are many restrictions in the actual implementation. The proposed adaptive integral binary observer applies an adaptive scheme so that the observer may overcome the problems caused by using dynamic equations. The rotor speed is constructed by using the Lyapunov function. The observer structure and its design method are described. The experimental results of the proposed algorithm are presented to prove the effectiveness of the approach.
