Flatness based sensorless control of PMSM using test current signal injection and compensation for differential cross-coupling inductances at standstill and low speed range

This paper presents a novel flatness based two-degree-of-freedom (2DoF) sensorless control scheme for PMSM at standstill and for low speed range using test current signal injection in the estimated d-axis of the field oriented dq-coordinate system. Asymmetrical winding and saturation might cause the occurrence of differential cross-coupling inductances and as a result the estimated rotor position deviates from the real value. The differential cross-coupling inductances have to be compensated for to overcome this problem. For that a flatness based dynamic feed-forward control is proposed. The control error due to model uncertainties is minimized using a controller that fulfills the internal model principle. The control signal of the high frequency controller in the q-axis is demodulated and afterwards used as the input signal of a tracking-observer to estimate the rotor position.
