Pseudorandom-Frequency Sinusoidal Injection for Position Sensorless IPMSM Drives Considering Sample and Hold Effect

The acoustic noises caused by the fixed-frequency signal injection scheme limit the applications of saliency tracking based sensorless control methods for interior permanent magnet synchronous machine (IPMSM) drives at low-speed operation. In this paper, a pseudorandom-frequency sinusoidal injection (PRFSI) considering the sample and hold effect in practical applications is proposed to reduce the undesired acoustic noises. Since the power spectral density (PSD) of the excited high-frequency (HF) current could be dispersed and continuously distributed with PRFSI, the additional HF acoustic noises can be reduced. Through the comparative analysis of HF response currents PSD results for PRFSI and fixed-frequency sinusoidal injection (FFSI), the principle of acoustic noises reduction with PRFSI is analyzed theoretically. Furthermore, the optimal selection of the injection signals is derived considering the sample and hold effect. Whereby, a comparative evaluation of the proposed PRFSI versus FFSI is carried out on a 2.2-kW position sensorless IPMSM drive, in terms of position estimation and PSD results, which verifies the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
