A position observer and a predictive controller for sensorless synchronous-reluctance-motor (SynRM) drive systems are investigated in this paper. The rotor position observer, based on motor parameters, and stator currents and voltages, was designed and implemented to compute the rotor position. A pole-assignment technique was used to provide similar converging rates of the position observer, even when operated at different speeds. Furthermore, a predictive controller was designed to enhance performance. A digital-signal processor (DSP), TMS-320F-28335, was used as a computation tool. Several simulated results are provided and compared with the measured results. The measured results showed that the implemented predictive controller sensorless SynRM drive system could be adjusted from 30 to 1800 rpm with satisfactory performance, including quicker and better tracking responses, and a lower speed drop than that of a proportional-integral (PI) controller.

Field-excited flux-switching motor drive systems have become more and more popular due to their robustness and lack of need for a permanent magnet. Three different types of predictive controllers, including a single-step predictive speed controller, a multi-step predictive speed controller, and a predictive current controller are proposed for sensorless flux-switching motor drive systems in this paper. By using a 1 kHz high-frequency sinusoidal voltage injected into the field winding and by measuring the a-b-c armature currents in the stator, an estimated rotor position that is near ± 2 electrical degrees is developed. To improve the dynamic responses of the field-excited flux-switching motor drive system, predictive controllers are employed. Experimental results demonstrate the proposed predictive controllers have better performance than PI controllers, including transient, load disturbance, and tracking responses. In addition, the adjustable speed range of the proposed drive system is from 4 r/min to 1500 r/min. A digital signal processor, TMS-320F-2808, is used as a control center to carry out the rotor position estimation and the predictive control algorithms. Measured results can validate the theoretical analysis to illustrate the practicability and correctness of the proposed method.

When the permanent magnet synchronous motor is operated at a low speed. The rotor position and speed are very difficult to estimate using the extended flux or back EMF method. A novel modified current slope estimating method is used to estimate the rotor position and speed in low speed in this paper. The mathematical models of an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) are deduced. The basic principle of modified current slope method is introduced. The simulation control system is built based on Matlab and a TMS320LF2407 digital signal processor is used to execute the rotor position and speed estimation. The experimental and simulation results have shown that the rotor position and speed can be accurately estimated in a low-speed operating region.

In this paper, a simplified efficient method for sensorless finite set current predictive control (FSCPC) for synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) based on extended Kalman filter (EKF) is proposed. The proposed FSCPC is based on reducing the computation burden of the conventional FSCPC by using the commanded reference currents to directly calculate the reference voltage vector (RVV). Therefore, the cost function is calculated for only three times and the necessity to test all possible voltage vectors will be avoided. For sensorless control, EKF is composed to estimate the position and speed of the rotor. Whereas the performance of the proposed FSCPC essentially necessitates the full knowledge of SynRM parameters and provides an insufficient response under the parameter mismatch between the controller and the motor, online parameter estimation based on EKF is combined in the proposed control strategy to estimate all parameters of the machine. Furthermore, for simplicity, the parameters of PI speed controller and initial values of EKF covariance matrices are tuned offline using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). To demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed control, it is implemented in MATLAB/Simulink and tested under different operating conditions. Simulation results show high robustness and reliability of the proposed drive.
