Research on Sensorless Control of PMSM Based on Sliding Mode Observer

Abstract

In the foundation of the realization of sensorless control of permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM) based on the traditional sliding mode observer, the paper focuses on the research on the chattering impacts on the estimation of rotor position and speed, which are caused by the sliding mode variable structure control. To weaken the chattering, the paper proposes two kinds of methods. First, the paper designs the saturation function with boundary layer thickness variable instead of sign function in the traditional sliding mode observer. Meanwhile, let the phase-locked loop (PLL) combine to the sliding mode observer, and construct the rotor position signal detection unit. Finally, the paper verifies the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed methods through the theoretical analysis and simulation.
