Performance analysis of PMSM drive based on FOC technique with and without MRAS method

The objective of this paper is to control the speed of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) over wide range of speed by consuming minimum time and low cost. Therefore, comparative performance analysis of PMSM on basis of speed regulation has been done in this study. Comparison of two control strategies i.e. Field oriented control (FOC) without sensor less Model Reference Adaptive System (MRAS) and FOC with sensor less MRAS has been carried out. Sensor less speed control of PMSM is achieved by using estimated speed deviation as feedback signal for the PI controller. Performance of the both control strategies has been evaluated in in MATLAB Simulink software. Simulation studies show the response of PMSM speed during various conditions of load and speed variations. Obtained results reveal that the proposed MRAS technique can effectively estimate the speed of rotor with high exactness and torque response is significantly quick as compared to the system without MRAS control system.
