The Research on Sensorless Control of Permanent Magnet Synchronous using SMC and SMO

Abstract This work proposes a way to achieve the sensorless control of permanent-magnet synchronous motor using sliding mode controller (SMC) and Sliding Mode Observer(SMO). In this Paper, the SMC is designed to replace the speed control loop PI controller from the original permanent magnet synchronous motor control system with the sliding mode variable structure control theory. Combined with the modified SMO, the “SMC and modified SMO” motor control system is proposed. Compared with the “PI and modified SMO” mode, the performance of the motor control is increased substantially, the interference torque speed attenuation is decreased by 87.5%, and the speed control error was also reduced by 67.7%. There is no overshoot with the reaction speed, and significant improvement in response speed, anti-interference performance, control accuracy and observation precision are achieved. Overall, both the system control and observation performance are significantly improved.
