Self-Adaptive Stepsize Affine Projection Based Parameter Estimation of IPMSM Using Square-Wave Current Injection

Affine projection algorithm(APA)has been used to estimate the parameters of interior permanent magnet synchronous motor(IPMSM).However,there is not a strict guideline of choosing the stepsize of this algorithm to make sure that the results of parameter estimation are convergent.In order to solve such problem,self-adaptive stepsize affine projection algorithm for parameter estimation of IPMSM is proposed in this paper.Compared with traditional affine projection algorithm,this method can obtain the stepsize automatically based on the operation condition,which can ensure the convergence and celerity of the process of parameter estimation.Then,on the basis of self-adaptive stepsize affine projection algorithm,a novel parameter estimation method based on square-wave current injection is proposed.By this method,the error of estimated parameter caused by stator resistance,linkage magnetic flux and dead-time voltage can be reduced effectively.Finally,the proposed parameter estimation method is verified by experiments on a 2.2-kW IPMSM drive platform.

Steady-state weights solution to affine projection algorithm

A new expression of the weights update equation for the affine projection algorithm （APA） is proposed that improves the convergence rate of an adaptive flter, particularly for highly colored input signals, and yields greater details of the internal structure. The steady-state weights solution to the APA algorithm is calculated in different step-sizes, which is significantly different from the iteration method. The weights error in steady-state is proved to be zero as the number of the input direction vector increases to infinity, ensuring that the estimated weights of the APA algorithm in steady-state are unbiased and consistent. The sensitivity of the step-size parameter for the steady-state weights is also analyzed. Simulation results show that the steady-state weights of the APA algorithm, obtained from the proposed method, are closer to the true weights than the estimated steady-state weights as determined by the traditional iteration method.

Low Complexity Adaptive Equalizers for Underwater Acoustic Communications

Interference signals due to scattering from surface and reflecting from bottom is one of the most important problems of reliable communications in shallow water channels. To solve this problem, one of the best suggested ways is to use adaptive equalizers. Convergence rate and misadjustment error in adaptive algorithms play important roles in adaptive equalizer performance. In this paper, affine projection algorithm （APA）, selective regressor APA（SR-APA）, family of selective partial update （SPU） algorithms, family of set-membership （SM） algorithms and selective partial update selective regressor APA （SPU-SR-APA） are compared with conventional algorithms such as the least mean square （LMS） in underwater acoustic communications. We apply experimental data from the Strait of Hormuz for demonstrating the efficiency of the proposed methods over shallow water channel. We observe that the values of the steady-state mean square error （MSE） of SR-APA, SPU-APA0 SPU-normalized least mean square （SPU-NLMS）, SPU-SR-APA0 SM-APA and SM-NLMS algorithms decrease in comparison with the LMS algorithm. Also these algorithms have better convergence rates than LMS type algorithm.
