Measurement and Adaptive Decoupling of Cross-Saturation Effects and Secondary Saliencies in Sensorless-Controlled IPM Synchronous Machines

This paper analyzes effects of magnetic saturation, including cross-saturation and secondary saliencies, on saliency- based sensorless control of interior PM synchronous machines. These effects are mitigated by adaptively decoupling saturation induced-saliencies via a structured neural network. The paper includes identification of the dominant, saturation-induced components of the carrier signal current interfering with the rotor position-dependent component being tracked, characterization of these components, and implementation of a non-linear, adaptive, saturation-induced components structured neural network model to perform their decoupling.
