Abstract
This paper presents a sensorless speed regulation scheme for a
permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) based solely on the motor line
currents measurements. The proposed scheme combines an exact
linearization-based controller with a nonlinear state observer which
estimates the rotor position and speed. Moreover, the stability of the
closed-loop system, including the observer, is demonstrated through
Lyapunov stability theory. The proposed observer has the advantage of
being insensitive to rotation direction. It is shown how a singularity
at zero velocity appears in the scheme and how it can be avoided by
switching smoothly from the observer-based closed-loop control to an
open-loop control at low velocity. The system performance is tested with
an experimental setup consisting of a PMSM servo drive and a
digital-signal-processor-based controller for both unidirectional and
bidirectional speed regulation
