Sensorless control of PMSM fed through the sinusoidal filter

The paper presents results of a research on the sensorless drive with PMSM supplied through the sinusoidal filter. The back electromotive force based observer is used to the shaft position estimation. Used in the study, the observer's correction function, contains multi integrators in the path, which improves the position estimation. Otherwise than in a typical implementation of the position observer, the presence of the filter was not taken into account in observer structure, however, it was taken into account in the observer parameters. This type of control allows the use of conventional control system and there is no need to take account the filter in the control circuit. Presented concept has been proven in laboratory.
