This paper describes back-emf-based sensorless field-oriented control (FOC) of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) of surface-mounted type, employing neural-network-based controller for current and speed control. The dynamic response is improved. Further, rotor position is estimated by back-emf method. To overcome the shortcoming of back-emf-based control in zero and low speed, a start-up strategy is proposed, to predict the initial rotor position. The PMSM drive model is simulated in MATLAB/Simulink environment, and the results show improved dynamic response with a start-up strategy.
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.
