Mario Pacas, Univrsiä Sign, Absrac Th ncorlss opraion bas on funamnal wav mols of h PMSM ruirs h knowlg of h machin paramrs o nsur an accura simaion of h roor posiion. As h saor rsisanc an prmann roor flux ar mpraur pnn, hs valus n o b aap o nsur a goo prformanc of h riv. In his papr, an onlin paramr racking mho for h PMSM is inrouc, which is abl o inify h mpraur pnn paramrs in high ynamic applicaions wih coninuously changing sp an oru. I works in boh mos of opraion wih as wll as wihou mchanical angl ncor. 1 Inroucion In h las cas, innsiv rsarch was carri ou on h vlopmn of conrol schms for h prmann magn synchronous machin (PMSM) wihou mchanical angl ncor. Common argumns for h us of snsorlss conrol schms ar h rucion of coss u o h liminaion of h snsor an h associa uipmn (.g. cabl, inrfac car, insallaion, c.) an h rliabiliy improvmn u o h inpnnc of an ncor. Howvr, hr ar applicaions wih spcial ruirmns of ynamics or accuracy of h riv sysm ha mak h uilizaion of an ncor manaory in h rgular opraion bu ha can ak avanag of a snsorlss conrol schm for mrgncy opraions in cas of snsor failurs: If a failur is c, h riv can kp running in h ncorlss opraion mo unil h nx rgular inspcion. If ncssary h ynamic of h riv can b ruc or h mrgncy mo can a las allow a conroll sop avoiing furhr amags in h machin or h procss. I is wll known, ha all snsorlss conrol schms, hos ha us signal injcion o c h roor posiion [2]-[3] or spcially h so-call funamnal wav mols [1] n h xac knowlg of h machin paramrs, lik saor rsisanc, prmann flux an inucancs o guaran a propr opraion. Any iscrpancy bwn h mol an h ral machin las o crasing prformanc of h riv sysm an can vn rsul in insabiliy of h conrol. Th inucancs pn mainly on h corrsponing currn bu o no show any pnnc of h mpraur. Whil inucancs can b masur a sansill an o no n o b aap onlin, his procur canno b appli o h saor rsisanc an prmann flux u o hir srong mpraur pnncy. For PMSM in inusrial applicaions h mpraur ris in ra opraion can rach 1K. Th corrsponing chang in h rsisanc of h coppr wining will b almos 4% ( α =.39% / K ). On h ohr han h prmann flux of h PMSM will cras wih incrasing mpraur, pning of h us magn marial. For NFB-magns h magniu of h prmann flux can suffr a cras of up o 12%. Th ffc of paramr variaions in h accuracy of h sima roor posiion pns on h acual opraing poin an h machin siz (variaions of h saor rsisanc ar gnrally mor crucial in smallr machins wih rlaivly high rsisanc valus). In gnral, mols of h machin ha o no compnsa h variaions of h paramrs u o mpraur changs la o wors or vn insabl bhavior. Thus, o nsur h propr opraion of h PMSM h mol paramrs n o b rack onlin. In aiion o h mhos which us a hrmal mol of h machin o allow a rough simaion of h saor rsisanc, som procings ar scrib in h liraur, which ar abl o inify h changs of machin paramrs onlin: In [4] h prmann flux is masur onlin in orr o sima h roor mpraur.

2 work in say sa coniions an is hrfor no suiabl for high ynamic applicaions wih coninuous changing sp an oru. Svral ohr mhos [6]-[8] can inify h saor rsisanc unr h assumpion ha h prmann flux is known an os no chang. As sa abov, i is obvious ha his assumpion is no vali for high mpraur variaions in h machin. In [9] h saor rsisanc is masur onc a sansill wih signal injcion an h chang of h prmann flux is compnsa onlin uring h normal opraion. A furhr mho is scrib in [1], which allows an aapaion of h saor rsisanc in h low sp rgion an an aapaion of h prmann flux a highr sps. Y, a coninuous paramr racking is no possibl. Furhrmor, h mnion mhos [5]-[1] wr valia wih low powr PMSM an c-link volags of mainly 15V or 28V. This is suiabl for crain applicaions bu no in sanar inusry applicaions wih 56V c-link volags. I is worh o mnion ha h inificaion of h saor rsisanc is mor crucial wih highr c-link volags an highr powr machins as h small volag rop of h saor rsisanc is masur rla o h swich c-link volag. Th following chaprs scrib a nw mho for h inificaion of h saor rsisanc as wll as of h prmann flux in high ynamic applicaions wih coninuous changing sp an oru. Th prsn conrol schm for h ajusmn of h machin paramrs is bas on h saor uaions of h PMSM in h --rfrnc fram. 2 Conrol srucur Th implmn conrol srucur is pic in Fig. 1. I is bas on h wll known fil orin conrol wih ncor an has aiionally a runan snsorlss roor posiion simaion bas on h proposal of [1]. Th a im compnsaion block is ssnial for a goo prformanc of h snsorlss conrol as wll as for h paramr inificaion. I liminas h nonlinariy of h invrr moul, spcially h volag rror caus by h invrr a im [1]. Th conrol srucur can b swich onlin from conrol wih ncor o snsorlss opraion by closing h conrol loop ihr wih h masur or wih sima valus of h posiion angl an angular vlociy. i Currn Conrollr u u jφ u α u β 2 3 u U u V u W Daim Compnsaion D U D V D W i φ i -jφ i α i β 2 3 i U i V u φ PMSM i u u Machinmol Roorposiionsimaion φ φ m m i Paramr racking Fig. 1.

3 Th volag rrors u an u can b obain by subracing h mol volags from h volag rfrncs u an u. Ths valus ar ncssary for h implmn snsorlss conrol as wll as for h paramr inificaion. i u = u u = u R i L + L i, mol s i u = u u = u R i L L i Ψ, mol s In h acual conrol mho h mol is ihr f by h masur valus ( i = i, = ) or h m m sima valus ( i = i, = ) pning on h way of calculaing h --componns of h saor currn. In h firs cas h ransformaion of h masur currns o h --rfrnc fram is prform by using h masur roor posiion angl, in h scon h sima angl is uiliz. In h opraion wih angular ncor h volag rrors u an u ar zro if h mol paramrs xacly corrspon o h ral ons an h machin asymmris can b nglc. Thus, any iffrncs in h valus of h volag rrors rsul from wrong mol paramrs, as i is shown in (3) an (4), whr R = R R, Ψ = Ψ Ψ an L = L L. S S, mol S, machin, mol, machin,mol, machin Hnc, h volag rrors can b us o ajus h mol paramrs as i is shown in h nx paragraph. i (3) u = R i L + L i s i u = R i L L i Ψ (4) s In ncorlss opraion h calcula volag rrors can b us by h Roor posiion simaion - block in Fig. 1 o sima h acual roor posiion as ail scrib in [1]. In his opraion h volag rrors pn on h angl rror ϕ = ϕ ϕ an angular vlociy rror = (5-6). For small angl rrors ( sin( ϕ) ϕ, cos( ϕ) 1 ). u = Ψ sin ϕ Ψ ϕ ( cos ) u = Ψ ϕ Ψ ϕ h uaions can b simplifi by approximaing h rigonomric rms (5) (6) Accoring o [1] h roor posiion can b sima bas on h wo volag rrors by using h conrol srucur pic in Fig. 2.

4 variaions of h paramrs bu also on h angl rror ϕ. A coupling of boh pars, paramr variaions an angl rror, is no possibl. This rsricion os no apply o h volag rror u ha only pns on h angular vlociy rror whos avrag valu is zro as long as h snsorlss conrol is sabl. Thrfor, h volag rror u can b us for paramr racking vn in h snsorlss opraion. 3 Paramr Tracking To achiv h onlin paramr racking, h ffc of ach paramr rror on h volag rror has o b xamin. I is obvious ha h volag rror uaions (3) (4) ar unr-rmin. In h opraion mo wih ncor hr ar wo uaions wih four unknown machin paramrs; in h ncorlss opraion mo (7) (8) h problm is vn wors sinc h volag rror u canno b us o inify h paramrs. Thus, som simplificaions ar ncssary in orr o coupl h ffcs on h four unknown variabls. Firs of all, h rivaiv rms in (3) (4) an (7) (8) can b nglc as hir avrag valus ar zro an h ynamic of h paramr racking will xhibi a slow bhaviour u o h larg hrmal im consan of h machin. Furhrmor, h uaion sysm can b simplifi by sparaing h bas sp rang from h fil wakning ara. In h bas sp rang, h flux gnraing currn i is zro. So h uaions (3) an (4) can b simplifi as follows: u L i u R i Ψ s (9) (1) whr h volag rror uaion u is only vali in h opraion wih angular ncor. As can b sn in (9), h valu of h inucanc L can ircly b sima by h volag rror u. Howvr, h inucancs of h machin ar mpraur inpnn an an onlin paramr racking is no ncssary. In h cas of h inucancs L an L i is rasonabl o masur hm onc a sansill [1]. For h rminaion of h saor rsisanc an h prmann link flux, h volag rror uaion in axis ns o b coupl: For highr sps h impac of h flux rror incrass whil h impac of h rsisanc rror incrass wih highr currn. For h coupling of boh paramrs h srucur in Fig. 3 is propos, which uilizs wo wigh I-conrollr o aap h paramrs R an S Ψ so ha h valu of h volag rror u bcoms zro. Th coupling of h wo paramrs is achiv by iffrn wighing facors in ach channl: By muliplying h volag rror u wih h saor currn h gain in his loop is high for highr currn valus whras i is ruc in a scon sp for highr angular vlociy (Fig. 3). Accoring o his, h aapaion of h saor rsisanc convrgs mos uickly in opraion poins wih high currn an low sp. Th mchanism for h aapaion of h prmann flux bhavs vic vrsa so ha boh paramrs convrg o hir corrc valus if h machin runs frunly unr a las wo iffrn opraing poins (.g. consan sp bu changing oru or vic vrsa). In ynamic applicaions h sp as wll as h oru is changing consisnly.
