In some field-oriented algorithms, the integrator of observers and the dead-time effect bring in system errors during the estimation of field position. In this paper, a saturated feedback integrator is used, and the dead-time effect is compen-sated by current positive feedback. Experiments were carried out on the hardware platform of MCK2407, with chip TMS320LF2407 from TI Company. The results show that the proposed method is simple and effective, and the accuracy of field position is improved.展开更多

It is known that the BLDC motors have no brushes for commutation. They are commutated with electronically commutation. So, the rotor position information of the BLDC motors must be known to understand which winding will be energized according to the energizing sequence. In most of the existing BLDC motor drivers, rotor position information is detected by Hall effect sensors. This kind of mechanical position sensors will bring additional connections and costs, reliability decrease and noise increase. In order to improve the control performance and extend the range of speed regulation for BLDC motors, a position sensorless control method is proposed in this paper. In the proposed control method, rotor position information of the BLDC motors is detected from the back electromagnetic forces(back-EMFs) which are estimated by an unknown-input observer with line to line currents and line to line voltages. For the purpose of verifying the effectiveness of the proposed control method, a model is built and simulated on the Matlab/Simulink platform. The simulation results show that the speed regulation performance of BLDC motors is improved compared with using Hall effect sensors. At the same time, the reliability of the BLDC motors is improved and the costs of them are reduced because the position sensor is eliminated.展开更多

The experimental results verify that the proposed method is not sensitive to switching noise,no filtering is required,and good motor performance is achieved within a wide speed range.展开更多

The mathematical model of PMSM in a stationary αβ reference frame is adopted. and the system is controlled by the digital signal proces- sor ( DSP) TMS320LF2407 according to the control theory of sliding mode observer. In order to achieve closed loop operation of the motor, the stator magnetic field should be vertical with the rotor magnetic field and be synchronous with rotor rotating, so the position and speed of PMSM is esti- mated in real time and the estimated position is modified continuously. The simulation results indi- cate that the proposed observer has high precision in estimation of PMSM position and speed, and is more robust to the parametric variation and load torque disturbance.展开更多
