Adaptive sensorless control for interior permanent magnet synchronious motor based on sliding mode approach

This paper proposes an adaptive sensorless control based on sliding mode approach for Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (IPMSM) using the method of the angular position estimation error extraction. The proposed strategy combines a novel Adaptive Super-Twisting Controller (ASTWC) with a novel Adaptive Observer High-Order Sliding Mode (AOHOSM), where: (i) The control and observer gains are parameterized in terms of a single parameter simplifying its implementation and reducing the tuning time. (ii) By using an auxiliary system, which does not depend on machine parameters, an AOHOSM is designed for estimating the angular position, speed and acceleration in a wide speed range of the IPMSM, (iii) and these are used in an ASTWC to track a desired reference of speed and direct-axis current. (iv) Sufficient conditions are given to ensure the stability of the closed loop system using a Lyapunov approach. Furthermore, the proposed strategy is validated throughout experimental set-up in order to show its effectiveness. Finally, a comparative study between the proposed strategy and other strategies published in the literature is addressed.& COPY; 2023 ISA. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
