Analysis of an Application of the Extended Electromotive Force Model Based Position Sensorless Control on the Wound-Field Synchronous Motor with Dual-Three Phases in Standstill/Low Speed Region

摘要

Sensorless control has become a popular research area for ac drives. However, most of the works are attributed to conventional three-phase drives. Given that applications of multiphase machines keep spreading, studies of position sensorless for them are necessary. For the object in this paper, some studies for sensorless control in middle/high speed region are reported. To accomplish a full-speed range sensorless control, a study about the standstill/low speed sensorless control of the target motor is proposed in this paper. Particularly, conventional signal injection methods utilized in three-phase ac drives meet a new issue caused by the inner magnetic couplings of the system when applying to the object in this paper. It may lead to failure of sensorless control and torque ripple enlargement. Therefore, analyses to solve the issue become the main interest of this paper, simulation results are demonstrated in the last section.
