Sensorless Control of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine Drives / Wiley-IEEE Press Book Series on Control Systems Theory and Applications (ePub)

A comprehensive resource providing basic principles and state-of-the art developments in sensorless control technologies for permanent magnet synchronous machine drives

Sensorless Control of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine Drives highlights the global research achievements over the last three decades and the sensorless techniques developed by the authors and their colleagues, and covers sensorless control techniques of permanent magnet machines, discussing issues and solutions. Many worked application examples are included to aid in practical understanding of concepts.

Written by two pioneering authors in the field, Sensorless Control of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine Drives covers sample topics such as:

* Permanent magnet brushless AC and DC drives

* Single three-phase, dual three-phase, and open winding machines

* Modern control theory based sensorless methods, covering model reference adaptive system, sliding mode observer, extended Kalman filter, and model predictive control

* Flux-linkage and back-EMF based methods for non-salient machines, and active flux-linkage and extended back-EMF methods for salient machines

* Pulsating and rotating high frequency sinusoidal and square wave signal injection methods with current or voltage response, at different reference frames, and selection of amplitude and frequency for injection signal

* Sensorless control techniques based on detecting third harmonic or zero-crossings of back-EMF waveforms

* Parasitic effects in fundamental and high frequency models, impacts on position estimation, and compensation schemes, covering cross-coupling magnetic saturation, load effect, machine saliency and multiple saliencies, inverter non-linearities, voltage and current harmonics, parameter asymmetries, and parameter mismatches

* Techniques for rotor initial position estimation, magnetic polarity detection, and transition between low and high speeds

Describing basic principles, examples, challenges, and practical solutions, Sensorless Control of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine Drives is a highly comprehensive resource on the subject for professionals working on electrical machines and drives, particularly permanent magnet machines, and researchers working on electric vehicles, wind power generators, household appliances, and industrial automation.
