Abstract
Pulsating high-frequency (HF) signal injection is a common saliency-based sensorless control method applied for synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) drives. However, the accuracy of the rotor position estimation deteriorates due to severe cross-coupling effect and voltage fluctuations. To solve this problem, a measured reference frame HF voltage injection (MHFVI) method is proposed in this paper. A total of two discontinuous pulsating square-wave voltage signals are injected along with two measured axes, and position information is extracted with a cross-coupling factor (CCF) introduced, which can inherently account for the estimation error caused by the cross-coupling effect. The signal processing scheme of the proposed MHFVI method is further developed to be robust to voltage errors, meanwhile has less fluctuation in the position estimation error. The position estimation error is investigated and analyzed based on the finite element analysis results and the introduced CCF is calculated based on the SynRM current–flux characteristics models. Finally, the proposed method is verified by experiments on a 3-kW SynRM drive platform.
