A simple and efficient position sensorless control method based on feedforward voltage estimation for PMSG improved with multi-parameter estimation using MRAS is proposed in this paper. The dynamically enhanced stator feedforward dq-axes voltages that are derived from steady-state PMSG model are modified for the sensorless drive. In direct-drive wind turbine systems, because of low back-EMF amplitude in the generator output at very low speed operation, the rotor flux linkage cannot be predicted correctly. Vector control is often used in PMSG control, because it has a simple structure and is suitable for various industrial systems. In the power equation, maximum power is obtained as a function of torque and speed. In the proposed method, a variable-speed wind turbine system with back to back converter structure is connected to common DC-link. In this paper, the proposed sensorless control scheme has been implemented with 1 kW PMSG drive controlled by a TMS320F28335 DSP for low speed at 0.1 p.u. (300 rpm) is achieved under multi-parameter variations.
