A nonlinear speed observer for permanent-magnet synchronous motors

The application of vector control techniques in AC motor drives demands accurate position and velocity feedback information for the current control and servo control loops. The authors describe a speed observer system suitable for use with permanent magnet synchronous motors as a software transducer. The observer is developed from the dq model of the machine. Design considerations for the observer are discussed. The nonlinearities in the machine model present a problem to the observer design, so a state detection technique is used to achieve global stability and consistent convergence of the observer system. The simulations show that the performance of the observer is robust against noise and parameter uncertainties. >
