S. Ostlund et M. Brokemper, SENSORLESS ROTOR-POSITION DETECTION FROM ZERO TO RATED SPEED FOR AN INTEGRATED PM SYNCHRONOUS MOTOR DRIVE, IEEE transactions on industry applications, 32(5), 1996, pp. 1158-1165
By integrating the motor, the converter and the control circuits of el
ectrical drives into one casing several advantages are obtained. The d
rive becomes compact, the amount of wiring is significantly reduced, a
nd the control of the inverter and the motor can be designed to better
utilize their respective characteristics. The paper presents an integ
rated permanent magnet synchronous motor drive (IPMSM) using complete
digital control. The control includes a simple sensorless estimation o
f the rotor position both at standstill and at rotation. The algorithm
for the initial rotor position detection is based on the saliency of
the rotor at no load and it provides both the location as well as the
direction of the magnetization. At rotation the rotor position is esti
mated by a predictor-corrector-based observer. The integrated concept
makes it simple to include accurate values of the machine parameters.
