A Combined Position and Stator-Resistance Observer for Salient PMSM Drives: Design and Stability Analysis
Year: 2011
Type: article
Abstract: A reduced-order position observer with stator-resistance adaptation is proposed for motion-sensorless permanent-magnet synchronous motor drives. A general analytical solution for the stabilizing observer gain and stability conditions for the stator-resistance adaptation are derived. Under these conditions, the local stability of the position and stator-resistance estimation is guaranteed at every operating point except the zero frequency, if other motor parameters are known. Furthermore, the effect of inaccurate model parameters on the local stability of the position estimation is studied, and an observer gain design that makes the observer robust is proposed. The proposed observer is experimentally tested using a 2.2-kW motor drive; stable operation at very low speeds under different loading conditions is demonstrated.
