SummaryThis article proposes an enhanced adaptive disturbance rejection control strategy for sensorless control of permanent magnet synchronous motor. The traditional fixed bandwidth quadrature phase‐locked loop (Q‐PLL) is insufficient to meet system dynamics in the event of sudden speed changes or motor disturbances, resulting in a significant decrease in control performance. Meanwhile, conventional extended state observers usually rely on a fixed high gain for fast convergence, which raises concerns about their sensitivity to noise. To overcome these challenges, the proposed method introduces a third‐order adaptive cascaded linear extended state observer (ACLESO) in place of the conventional PLL to accurately estimate the speed, phase, and overall disturbances, ensuring timely and accurate estimation of the total disturbance. Then, a speed controller based on linear state error feedback control law (LSEFCL) was designed to enhance the dynamic performance of the system. Based on the stability analysis using the Lyapunov function, finally, extensive experimental tests were carried out to verify the validity of the proposed method.
