On the stator flux linkage estimation of an PMSM with Extended Kalman Filters

The demand for drives with high quality torque control has grown tremendously in a wide variety of applications. Direct torque control (DTC) for permanent magnet synchronous motors can provide this accurate and fast torque control. When applying DTC the change of the stator flux linkage vector is controlled. As such the estimation of the stator flux linkage is essential. In this paper the performance of the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) for stator flux linkage estimation is studied. Starting from a formulation of the EKF for isotropic motors, the influence of rotor anisotropy and saturation is evaluated. Subsequently it is expanded to highly isotropic motors as well. In both cases the possibilities to add parameter estimations are evaluated.
