Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) variable-speed drive is widely used in the industry because of its particularly high mechanical power density, simplicity and cost effectiveness. Eliminating the mechanical sensor mounted on the shaft of the motors gives further improvement. These drives are referred to as “sensorless” electrical drives. In this paper a novel sensorless algorithm is pro...

The paper considers abnormal operation modes of an electric drive power subsystem with permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), such as breakdown and burnout of IGBT-transistor in the three-phase inverter. The effect of these faults on the spectrum and form of the currents in the windings of the synchronous motor was studied. Heuristic algorithms based on the form features of the winding curr...

In this paper, a new method is proposed for the speed control of a three-phase current forced synchronous machine drive. This metohd is based on the use of an approximate constant commutation safety margin angle in the output thyristor bridge of the drive system as well as on the compenastion of stator magnetization reaction. The commutation process in the output converter of the machine driv...

In this paper, the design and implementation of adaptive speed controller for a sensorless synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) drive system is proposed. A combination of well-known adaptive input-output feedback linearization (AIOFL) and adaptive backstepping (ABS) techniques are used for speed tracking control of SynRM. The AIOFL controller is capable of estimating motor two-axis inductances ...

The synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) has many advantages over other ac motors. For example, its structure is simple and rugged. In addition, its rotor does not have any winding or magnetic material. Prior to twenty years ago, the SynRM was regarded as inferior to other types of ac motors due to its lower average torque and larger torque pulsation. Recently, many researchers have proposed se...

Fuzzy logic is recently getting increasing emphasis in soft computing applications in the recent days. This paper presents an application of the fuzzy logic scheme to control the speed of an AC servo system & the same is proposed for a space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) inverter-fed permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive. Based on the analysis of the PMSM transient response, a...
