Abstract A discrete mathematical model of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is established, then the fifth-order cubature Kalman filter (CKF) algorithm is introduced. A Gauss–Newton iterative method is introduced into the iterative process of the fifth-order CKF algorithm to generate the innovation variance and covariance. Therefore, an iterative fifth-order CKF algorithm is proposed as the basis of a PMSM sensorless control is implemented. Then, a PMSM sensorless control based on the iterative fifth-order CKF algorithm is applied to an electric power steering (EPS) system, whose control system is constructed by adopting the typical assist and return control strategy. Finally, to verify the performance of the proposed PMSM sensorless control method, the EPS system model of the PMSM sensorless control is built by using the common phase-locked loop (PLL), the CKF algorithm, the fifth-order CKF algorithm, and the proposed iterative fifth-order CKF algorithm. The simulation analyses and the experimental tests show that the proposed iterative fifth-order CKF algorithm can estimate the PMSM speed with good accuracy and has a strong resistance to disturbances in the load and speed. The assist and return performances of the EPS system are also improved.

Aiming at the problems of high cost, increased volume, low reliability, and environmental interference caused by sensor installation on permanent magnet synchronous motor, estimation method for motor speed and rotor position is proposed based on iterated cubature Kalman filter algorithm and applied to permanent magnet synchronous motor sensorless control. First, discrete mathematical model of permanent magnet synchronous motor in α-β coordinate system is established. Then, based on cubature Kalman filter and iterated cubature Kalman filter, simulation model of sensorless vector control system with dual closed-loop of permanent magnet synchronous motor speed and current is established. Also, simulation verification of two working conditions with given rotation speed and load is carried out. Finally, hardware experimental verification platform is built based on TMS320F28335 chip. Both simulation analysis and experimental results show that iterated cubature Kalman filter application to sensorless control of permanent magnet synchronous motor demonstrates good anti-load variation interference, stable motor operation, high motor speed and rotor position estimation accuracy, which suits the application with high requirement for precise motor control and mean important reference value and promotion significance.

Many studies have been conducted to reduce the cogging torque of electric power steering motors. However, in the mass production of such motors, it is essential to enhance performance robustness in relation to tolerances. For such motors, this work analyzes performance robustness in relation to tolerances by applying a cycloid curve to the surface magnet of the rotor. Applying a cycloid curve to the magnet surface of the rotor is one of several ways to reduce cogging torque. To evaluate the performance of the cycloid curve, we compare it with an eccentric curve. The two curves are compared for the same specifications and evaluated using the indicator, tolerance insensitivity rate, which is used to assess performance robustness in relation to tolerances. The cycloid curve was evaluated to be more robust in relation to tolerances, as compared with the eccentric curve. Finally, an experiment was conducted to validate the robustness of the cycloid curve.
