The paper shows the design of a robust control structure for the speed sensorless vector control of the IM, based on the mixed sensitivity linear parameter variant (LPV) H∞ theory. The controller makes possible the direct control of the flux and speed of the motor with torque adaptation in noisy environment. The whole control system is tested by intensive simulations and according to the result...

A power-assisted wheelchair driven by dual electric-motors is required to operate on rough roads properly, where the right and left wheels encounter disturbances independently. This paper presents a synchronized motion control scheme which integrates the force sensorless controller such that the movement of the power-assisted wheelchair can maintain a desired motion path on rough surfaces. The ...

Motion control systems represent a main subsystem for majority of processing systems that can be found in the industrial sector. These systems are concerned with the actuation of all devices in the manufacturing process such as machines, robots, conveyor systems and pick and place mechanisms such that they satisfy certain motion requirements, e.g., the pre specified reference trajectories are f...

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are used in a wide range of applications due to their high efficiency and high power density. In this paper, sensorless four-switch direct power control (DPC) method with the sector to sector commutations ripple minimization for BLDC motor control is proposed. The main features of the proposed DPC method are: (1) fast dynamic response (2) easy implementation (3) use o...

This paper presents a sensorless drive technique for permanent-magnet brushless DC motors applied to electric propulsors of small ships or underwater vehicles. Propulsors enveloping electric motors (e.g., POD or subsea thrusters) have been increasingly applied due to their advantages of excellent maneuverability, high efficiency and low maintenance costs. To secure reliable operation under wate...

The primary objective of this paper is to elimination of the problem of sensitivity to parameter variation of induction motor drive. The proposed sensorless strategy is based on an algorithm permitting a better simultaneous estimation of the rotor speed and the stator resistance including an adaptive mechanism based on the lyaponov theory. To study the reliability and the robustness of the sens...

Abstract: This paper deals with the design of sliding mode control and neural network compensation for a sensorless permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) controlled system that is able to improve both power consumption and speed response performance. The position sensor of PMSM is unreliable in harsh environments. Therefore, the sensorless control technique is widely proposed in industry. A...

This paper presents an efficient and robust control scheme of Fuzzy Logic Electronic Differential Controller (FLEDC) for sensorless drive based electric vehicle. The proposed system consists of two Brushless DC motors (BLDC) that ensure the drive of the two back driving wheels of an electric vehicle. Electronic differential controller (EDC) ensures the maximum torque and it can control both the...

In this paper, a novel sensorless nonlinear speed control for a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) driving an unknown load torque is developed and integrated with the vector control scheme. An extended nonlinear state observer with parameter adaptive scheme is used to estimate the states of the motor and disturbance torque avoiding the use of mechanical sensors. The parameter identified ...

This paper aims to provide a high performance sensorless control based on an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) applied to fault-tolerant PMSM drive system with statorresistance estimation. It proposes a fast method of fault switches detection in the power converters. The considered drive is composed of three phases PMSM and a four leg three phase’s inverter when the fourth is the redundant leg. Afte...
