Stable sensorless V/f and cosφ =1 control for permanent magnet synchronous motor drives

This paper proposes a novel control structure for scalar sensorless V/f controlled permanent magnetic synchronous motor (PMSM) drives with two feedback corrections in the new created d

-axis current, that is the reactive current component, eventually realizes cosφ =1. The addition of PI regulator which also influences the stability of system is explored. Moreover, based on a basic V/f control, the scheme can greatly simplify the calculation and enhance insensitivity to the motor parameters. The proposed solution is simple, non-oscillatory and of good robustness. The simulation and experiments are carried out to prove the performance and validity.
