Abstract

Efficacy of any rotor position and speed estimation scheme in real-life hardware environment is largely depended on the effect of non-ideal physical attributes on that estimation scheme. Hybrid estimation schemes are used for speed and position estimation of PM synchronous motor for standstill to rated speed operation. The existing hybrid estimation schemes are developed without considering the effect of non-ideal physical attributes. As a result, their performance in real-life hardware environment cannot be assured, specially during low-speed operation as during this operating zone the effect on non-ideal physical attributes is more detrimental. In this work, a hybrid estimation scheme is developed by combining a “quadrature-phase lock-loop-based sliding mode observer” and “pulsating high-frequency signal injection-based technique” for sensorless vector control PM synchronous motor considering the effect of non-ideal physical attributes. Performance of proposed drive is evaluated by simulation and experimental study.
