Objectives of Paper:

  • Reduction of vibration
  • reduction of acoustic noise

Sensorless control of PMSM at low speed:

  • Motor is excited by fluctuating voltage carrier signal Vinj Cos(wt)
  • High frequency impedance is measured.
  • Excitation signal is injected in stationary reference frame
  • Based on inductance variation due to rotor saliency.

How is it Done:

 

Multi-Resolution Controller:

  • The use of wavelet transform
  • Error Signal decomposition

Parameters tuning:

 

Online optimization problem formulation:

Gains   are used to tune high and medium frequency components of the error signal
