Current Control System with High-Frequency Signal Injection for Dual Three-Phase Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor

Abstract

Dual three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motors have the characteristics of multi-phase and permanent magnet synchronous motors, whose double- and decoupled-winding models based on the vector space decomposition have been reported. High-frequency signal injection methods enable position sensorless control, parameter identification, and the search for maximum torque per ampere operating points. However, the current control system with high-frequency signal injection for a dual three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor has not yet been sufficiently discussed. This study compares the double- and decoupled-winding models for the current control system with the high-frequency signal injection and proposes a current control system with high-frequency signal injection. Furthermore, this study proposes a position sensorless control method at low speed based on the high-frequency voltage injection as an application of the proposed current control system with the high-frequency signal injection. Experiments verify the effectiveness of the proposed current control system with the high-frequency signal injection and the proposed position sensorless control method.
