Nonlinear adaptive observer for sensorless passive control of permanent magnet synchronous motor

摘要

This paper presents an adaptive nonlinear observer for sensorless passivity based control applied to permanent magnet synchronous motor. The passivity based control approach is applied to a complex and coupled nonlinear mathematical model of permanent magnet synchronous motor without any approximation or cancellation of nonlinearities.A nonlinear adaptive observer is proposed to estimate the mechanical speed and the unmeasured load torque (unknown disturbance) that has an effect on the control performance; therefore, those estimated states are then used to improve the performance of the passivity based control for permanent magnet synchronous motor.The performance of the proposed controller-observer have been tested using MATLAB/SIMULINK, where those Simulation results show a perfect tracking of the mechanical speed and load torque.
