Signal injection and averaging for position estimation of Permanent-Magnet Synchronous Motors

Authors: Al K. Jebai, F. Malrait, Ph. Martin, P. Rouchon, IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (2012), pp. 7608-7613, December 10-13, 2012, Hawai, USA.
Sensorless control of Permanent-Magnet Synchronous Motors at low velocity remains a challenging task. A now well-established method consists in injecting a high-frequency signal and use the rotor saliency, both geometric and magnetic-saturation induced. This paper proposes a clear and original analysis based on second-order averaging of how to recover the position information from signal injection; this analysis blends well with a general model of magnetic saturation. It also experimentally demonstrates the relevance for position estimation of a simple parametric saturation model recently introduced by the authors.
