A Sensorless Control Strategy for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor at Low Switching Frequency

Abstract

The high-frequency (HF) square-wave voltage injection method can be used in permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive systems. However, when the switching frequency is too low, the injection frequency will also decrease, which will reduce the update frequency of the HF response current, making it difficult to extract the position quadrature signal and affecting the accuracy of position estimation and control performance. This paper proposes a method for extracting position quadrature signals based on sampling rate transformation, and a signal processing strategy based on Cascade Integrator Comb (CIC) interpolation filtering, which can solve the problem of waveform distortion caused by the low sampling rate of the extracted position quadrature signal. This strategy can increase the sampling rate of the position quadrature signal to the pulse width modulation (PWM) update frequency by interpolating in the sampling current, thereby reducing the harmonic content of the position quadrature signal and improving the position estimation. precision. In addition, the PWM update frequency and estimated rotational speed information are used to compensate for the delay caused by position estimation and inverter update, which effectively improves the accuracy of position estimation. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is verified by simulation.
