Robust Position Sensorless Model Predictive Control for Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Drives
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This thesis focuses on utilizing the persistent voltage vector injections by finite control set model predictive control (FCSMPC) to enable simultaneous estimations of both position and parameters in order to realize robust sensorless interior permanent magnet synchronous machine (IPMSM) drives valid at the entire operating region including no-load standstill without any additional signal injection and switchover. The system (here, IPMSM) needs to meet certain observability conditions to identify the parameters and position. Moreover, each combination of the parameters and/or position involves different observability requirements which cannot be accomplished at every operating point. In particular, meeting the observability for parameters and position at no-load standstill is more challenging. This is overcome by generating persistent excitation in the system with high-frequency signal injection. The FCSMPC scheme inherently features the persistent excitation with voltage vector injection and hence no additional signal injection is required. Moreover, the persistent excitation always exists for FCSMPC except at the standstill where the control applies the null vectors when the reference currents are zero. However, introducing a small negative d axis current at the standstill would be sufficient to overcome this situation.The parameter estimations are investigated at first in this thesis. The observability is analyzed for the combinations of two, three and four parameters and experimentally validated by online identification based on recursive least square (RLS) based adaptive observer. The worst case operating points concerning observability are identified and experimentally proved that the online identification of all the parameter combinations could be accomplished with persistent excitation by FCMPC. Moreover, the effect of estimation error in one parameter on the other known as parameter coupling is reduced with the proposed decoupling technique. The persistent voltage vector injections by FCSMPC help to meet the observability conditions for estimating the position, especially at low speeds. However, the arbitrary nature of the switching ripples and absence of PWM modulator void the possibility of applying the standard demodulation based techniques for FCSMPC. Consequently, a nonlinear optimization based observer is proposed to estimate both the position and speed, and experimentally validated from standstill to maximum speed. Furthermore, a compensator is also proposed that prevents converging to saddle and symmetrical ( ambiguity) solutions. The robustness analysis of the proposed nonlinear optimization based observer shows that estimating the position without co-estimating the speed is more robust and the main influencing parameters on the accuracy of the position estimation are d and q inductances. Subsequently, the proposed nonlinear optimization based observer is extended to simultaneously estimate the position, d and q inductances. The experimental results show the substantial improvements in response time, and reduction in both steady and transient state position errors. In summary, this thesis presents the significance of persistent voltage vector injections in estimating both parameter and position, and also shows that nonlinear optimization based technique is an ideal candidate for robust sensorless FCSMPC.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
