Comparative study of low-pass filter and phase-locked loop type speed filters for sensorless control of AC drives

Abstract

High quality speed information is one of the key issues in machine sensorless drives, which often requires proper filtering of the estimated speed. This paper comparatively studies typical low-pass filters (LPF) and phase-locked loop (PLL) type filters with respect to ramp speed reference tracking and steady-state performances, as well as the achievement of adaptive cutoff frequency control. An improved LPF-based filter structure with no ramping and steady-state errors caused by filter parameter quantization effects is proposed, which is suitable for applying LPF for sensorless drives of AC machines, especially when fixed-point digital signal processor is selected e.g. in mass production. Furthermore, the potential of adopting PLL for speed filtering is explored. It is demonstrated that PLL type filters can well maintain the advantages offered by the improved LPF. Moreover, it is found that the PLL type filters exhibit almost linear relationship between the cutoff frequency of the PLL filter and its proportional-integral (PI) gains, which can ease the realization of speed filters with adaptive cutoff frequency for improving the speed transient performance. The proposed filters are verified experimentally. The PLL type filter with adaptive cutoff frequency can provide satisfactory performances under various operating conditions and is therefore recommended.

Adaptive Coherent Receiver Settings for Optimum Channel Spacing in Gridless Optical Networks

“…"Path Computation" process, along with up-to-date topology DB, allows for light-path establishment using a constrained-routing signaling protocol. proportional/integral control scheme, as in [27]. The higher the gain, the faster the loop reacts to changes.…”

“…For the cases of low transmitter clock standard deviation in the total phase error (J tx ), we can simply base the optimized parameters (bandwidth and gain) on the specification (i.e., targeted jitter to guarantee no guarantee no cycle slip in the ADC sampling) in order to perform a fitting to extract optimal channel spacing. The "Digital LPF", shown in Figure 6, is implemented as simple proportional/integral control scheme, as in [27]. The higher the gain, the faster the loop reacts to changes.…”

Issues and Challenges of Grid-Following Converters Interfacing Renewable Energy Sources in Low Inertia Systems: A Review

“…Several forms of the PLL have been reported in the literature in recent years, where the main difference is the type PD used such as; time-delay based PLL(TD-PLL) [69]- [72], all-pass filter (APF) [41], [73]- [75], inverse park transform (IPT) [76], [77], second-order generalized integrator (SOGI) [78]- [80], moving average filter (MAF) [81]- [83], low-pass filter(LPF) [84]- [87], etc. The PLL structure used with the GFL converter should have a fast dynamic response (less settling time, less overshoot), accurate grid parameters estimation under any disturbances conditions, simple structure, and robustness during the voltage dip and harmonic presence on input AC signal [88], [89].…”

A new computational method to improve the synchronization of PLLs

“…The presented procedure improves the behavior of a previously chosen PLL (this may be the most appropriate for the application for which it is intended) when modifying the filter. In Reference , a similar idea to that proposed in the submitted manuscript is presented. It was introduced in a power electronics application.…”
