A sensorless vector control of an induction motor provides a good performance in the middle and high speed region. However, in the low speed region, it is very difficult to implement the sensorless vector controller because the feeding voltage measured by the motor is very low. In this paper, we designed the sensorless vector controller of an induction motor using the estimate of the slip frequency. To verify the performance of the proposed controller, an experiment has been performed.

The sensorless speed control technique for BLDC motor using digital IP control is proposed in this paper for advanced speed characteristic which is robust to motor parameters and load variations. The sensorless drive of BLDC motor using terminal voltages is affected by load or speed because it uses analog filters to estimate the rotor position. For this reason, the robust speed controller with the accurate rotor position estimator is needed for sensorless control which is robust to load and insensitive to motor parameters. The constant speed robust to load variation and the stable sensorless control of BLDC motor robust to the increase or decrease of speed with constant load is implemented using digital IP control in this paper. The validity to these is established with experimentation.

본 논문은 매입자석형 동기전동기 (Interior Permanent Magnet Motor, 이하 IPM)의 Sensorless 제어에 관한 것이다. IPM에서 벡터제어를 수행하기 위해서는 계자분 전류와 토크분 전류로 나누어서 제어를 해줘야 한다. 이때, 토크는 영구자석과 직교하는 방향으로 토크분 전류를 인가해줘야 하기 때문에, 영구자속에 의해 발생하는 자속의 정확한 위치를 알아야 하고, 그로 인하여 엔코더 등의 자극위치센서를 사용해야 한다. 따라서, IPM은 일반적으로 Sensored제어를 하게 된다. 그러나, 고가의 장치인 엔코더 등의 자극위치센서를 사용하지 않고 적절한 제어를 수행해주기 위하여 여러 sensorless 기법들이 개발되어 발전되었다. 본 논문에서는 자속추정기를 이용하여 자속을 추정하고, 이를 이용하여 모터의 회전속도 및 회전각을 추정함으로써 Sensorless제어가 가능하였다. 본 제어 알고리즘은 자사 벡터제어 인버터인 iV5를 통해 실험하여 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 풍력발전기의 회전속도센서의 고장 발생 시 고장을 검출하고 회전속도센서의 사용 없이 Sensorless 제어로의 전환에 관한 연구를 기술하였다. 최근 풍력발전은 급속한 성장함에 따라 풍력발전기의 대형화 및 해상풍력화 추세에 있다. 특히 해상풍력발전은 바람 및 설치장소의 제약에서 벗어나는 이점에 반해 염해, 습도 및 파도에 의한 진동 발생으로 센서의 고장 발생률이 높을 것으로 예상된다. 이에 따라 풍력발전기의 회전속도센서 고장 발생 시 이를 검출하는 방법을 제시하였다. 또한 회전속도센서의 고장이 검출되면 회전속도센서를 이용한 풍력발전기 제어방식에서 Sensorless 제어로의 전환을 통해 안전하게 풍력발전기를 운전할 수 있도록 하였다. 연구된 제어기법은 PSIM을 이용한 시물레이션을 통해 결과를 검증하였다.

Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors(PMSMs) have a wider range of applications due to their high output density and high efficiency. PMSMs are used not only in high-power density, high-performance motor-driven systems such as vehicle and robots, but also in systems where cost-cutting is very important, such as washing machines, air conditioners and refrigerators. To reduce costs, position sensorless control is required, which is generally difficult to be used under conditions of starting the motor. Thus, the I-F speed control that rotates the current vector at any speed in the starting procedure should be used at first, and then the sensorless speed control could be applied after PMSM rotates above a certain speed. Speed control performance in I-F speed control and sensorless speed control is very important. And more speed control performance should be maintained even in the transient in which the two control techniques are changed. In this paper, the speed controller transition method from I-F speed control to sensorless speed control of permanent magnet synchronous motor is proposed. Experiments were carried out on the washing machine drive system to verify the performance of the proposed technique.

The PM synchronous motor drives with vector control have been applied to wide fields of industry applications due to its high efficiency. The rotor position information for vector control of a PM synchronous motor is detected from the rotor position sensors or rotor position estimators. The sensorless control based on the mathematical model of PM synchronous motor is generally used and it can be classified into back EMF -based sensorless control and magnet flux-based sensorless control. The rotor position estimating performance of the back EMF-based sensorless control is deteriorated at low speeds since the magnitude of back EMF is proportional to the motor speed. The magnitude of the magnet flux for estimating rotor position in the flux-based sensorless control is independent on the motor speed so that the estimating performance is excellent for wide speed ranges. However, the estimation performance of the model-based sensorless control may be influenced by the motor parameter variation since the rotor position estimator uses the mathematical model of the PM synchronous motor. In this paper, the rotor position estimation performance for the back EMF based- and flux-based sensorless controls is analyzed theoretically and is compared through the simulation and experiment when the motor parameters including stator resistance and inductance are varied.

A sensorless vector control of an induction motor provides a good performance in the middle and high speed region. However, in the low speed region, it is very difficult to implement the sensorless vector controller because the feeding voltage measured by the motor is very low. In this paper, to improve the performance of a sensorless vector control of an induction motor in the low speed region under 3Hz, we proposed the fuzzy logic controller using the zooming algorithm. To verify the performance of the proposed controller, an experiment has been performed.

Most of the sensorless vector control methods use the equivalent circuit of induction motors. Therefore parameter auto-measurement of drive motor is essential function in commercial sensorless vector control inverters. The accuracy of motor parameter measurement greatly affects the performance of sensorless vector control. In this paper limitations of conventional measurement methods are examined, and new measurement methods are proposed to solve those limitations.
