Sensorless Control Scheme of IPMSMs Using HF Orthogonal Square-Wave Voltage Injection Into a Stationary Reference Frame

This paper proposes a new sensorless control scheme of interior permanent magnet synchronous motors (IPMSMs) using high-frequency (HF) orthogonal square-wave voltage injection into a stationary reference frame (SRF). This method is an improvement on the conventional HF rotating sinusoidal voltage injection into the SRF. First, discrete sequences of the HF currents are applied to establish the whole signal process. Then, a position estimation method without low-pass filters is proposed, and the phase shifts caused by high-pass filters are also reduced. Therefore, the proposed sensorless control method would not be adversely affected by digital filters, which can solve the common drawbacks of the current SRF-based injection methods. Furthermore, the digital delay in drive systems is considered, and its negative influence can be eliminated as well. The sensorless control method is verified by experiments on a 2.2-kW IPMSM drive platform.
