Sensorless Control Strategy of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Based on Fuzzy Sliding Mode Observer

Abstract

In this paper, a sensorless control strategy of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) based on fuzzy sliding mode observer (FSMO) is proposed. On the premise of satisfying the Lyapunov stability condition, a sliding mode observer (SMO) is constructed. The sigmoid function is used instead of the sign function as the switching function. The parameters of sigmoid function are adjusted in real time by establishing fuzzy rules to change the convergence characteristics of sigmoid function, so as to improve the observation performance. The back EMF signal extracted by the SMO can be made smoother by using the back EMF adaptive law, which reduces the chattering of the system and the observation error. In order to solve the problem that the traditional phase locked loop (PLL) can not be used when the positive and negative speed of the motor is switched, a tangent function PLL is proposed in this paper. Through the use of tangent function, the value and symbol of back EMF are avoided from entering the system, so as to realize the accurate estimation of rotor speed and rotor position under the condition of positive and negative speed switching. The designed Fuzzy Sliding Mode Observer is simulated in Matlab/Simulink, and the experimental verification is carried out on the 2kW surface mounted PMSM vector control platform with TMS320F28335 as the main control chip. Simulation and experimental results show that this method can effectively track the changes of rotor speed and position when the motor is switched between positive and negative speed, and has the characteristics of fast convergence, small chattering and good robustness.INDEX TERMS Permanent magnet synchronous motor, sensorless control, fuzzy sliding mode observer, back EMF adaptive law, tangent function phase locked loop.

“…Nonetheless, researchers are encouraged to exclude speed sensors due to their disadvantages, including their exorbitant cost and the need for frequent maintenance. The primary substitute method employs sensor-less control techniques to estimate position and speed [11]. For PMSGs, researchers have presented a number of sensor-less control methods.…”
