Pseudorandom high-frequency injection synchronous reluctance motor sensorless control with parameter variation consideration

Abstract

The sensorless control of synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) in the zero and low-speed domain using the traditional high-frequency injection method has the problems of audible noise caused by the high-frequency injection and high-frequency loss caused by the change of working conditions, which limits the practical application of SynRM in the industrial field. To solve the problem of high-frequency noise and loss, a pseudo-random high-frequency injection method considering parameter variation is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the signal injection form was adjusted to expand the power spectral density of the high-frequency current, and the current energy spike was suppressed to reduce high-frequency noise. Secondly, the current demodulation was combined with the flux map model to complete the injection voltage amplitude adjustment, so that the response current was kept constant under multiple operating conditions to reduce the high-frequency loss. At the same time, the flux map model is applied to the observer to reduce the rotor position estimation error caused by the cross-coupling effect. Under the condition of satisfying the dynamic and steady performance requirements of sensorless control, the high-frequency loss and sharp noise caused by the high-frequency injection method are effectively suppressed. Finally, experiments were carried out on a 1.5 kW SynRM drive platform to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the sensorless control scheme in this paper.
