Fuzzy sliding mode observer with dual SOGI-FLL in sensorless control of PMSM drives.

To improve the performance of permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives, a sensorless control scheme based on a sliding mode observer (SMO) with a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and a dual second-order generalized integrator-frequency locked loop (DSOGI-FLL) is proposed in this paper. The major drawbacks of the conventional SMO, namely chattering phenomena, high-order harmonics and external noise, are discussed. These drawbacks affect the estimated accuracy of the SMO and reduce the control reliability of the system. To eliminate these drawbacks, an FLC is designed and integrated into the SMO to adjust the observer gain in a self-adaptive manner and to reduce the chattering; an existing dual synchronous frequency extract filter-phase locked loop (DSFF-PLL) is used to filter out the main components of high-order harmonics and to calculate the rotor position and speed precisely. Furthermore, to obtain an accurate fundamental frequency for the phase locked loop (PLL) and filter out the remaining harmonics and external noise signals, DSOGI-FLL processing is developed and incorporated into the DSFF-PLL. An overall PMSM sensorless control system based on the proposed SMO is designed, and an experimental platform using the TMS320F28335 DSP controller is built. Comparative experiments using the proposed SMO and the conventional SMO are performed to validate the effectiveness of the proposed FLC and the DSFF-DSOGI-FLL-PLL structures. Performance experiments of the overall proposed SMO-based sensorless control scheme are performed to verify the robustness and control reliability of the system. The results show that the proposed SMO has satisfactory performances and can be used in practical engineering.
