An adaptive flux observer for the permanent magnet synchronous motor

摘要

A gradient descent-based nonlinear observer for surface-mount permanent magnet synchronous motors with remarkable stability properties was recently proposed. A key assumption for the derivation of the observer is the knowledge of the electrical parameters, which are usually uncertain. In the present paper, we propose a robust adaptive flux observer adding immersion and invariance parameter adaptation algorithms to estimate the stator resistance. Global boundedness of all signals and convergence to a residual set of the flux estimation error is guaranteed. The performance of the new adaptive observer is assessed with realistic simulations.
