When the variable speed pumped storage unit operates in the electrical state, the self-starting control strategy is generally used to start the process from zero speed to grid connection, which saves the starting device of the traditional constant speed unit and saves the construction cost of the unit. For the self-starting control process, the traditional open-loop flux calculation method will produce cumulative errors in the amplitude and angle of the flux when the motor parameters change. To solve this problem, an adaptive full order state observer is designed to observe the motor stator flux, which has stronger parameter robustness. Based on the flux observation, the speed adaptive law is designed to estimate the rotor speed and position angle, and the speed sensorless vector control of variable speed pumped storage unit is accomplished. The simulation results show that compared with the open-loop flux calculation method, the full order state observer can greatly reduce the flux estimation error and accurately estimate the rotor speed and position angle.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
