An Improved Full-Order Sliding-Mode Observer for Rotor Position and Speed Estimation of SPMSM

Abstract

This paper proposed an improved full-order sliding-mode observer (IFSMO), applied to a sensorless control system of surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM), to obtain a high-precision rotor speed and position. First, the IFSMO method, which combines the new sliding-mode function with the variable boundary layer function, is presented to suppress the chattering and accelerate the convergence speed of the system. Meanwhile, since the observer has the characteristics of a second-order low-pass filter, the high-frequency noise contained in the estimated back EMF signal can be effectively filtered out without an additional low-pass filter. Then, the proposed PLL is designed to obtain rotor position and speed. Finally, simulations and experiments of the SPMSM system based on the IFSMO method under different working conditions are implemented, which demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
