Transient Response Characteristics Improvement of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Based on Enhanced Linear Active Disturbance Rejection Sensorless Control

The compactness, cost decrease, and reliability of the auxiliary drive permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) for battery electric commercial vehicles can be further improved by adopting the position sensorless control technique. The conventional extended back electromotive force (EEMF) based sensorless control algorithm usually requires a phase-locked loop (PLL) and low pass filter to postprocess the estimated rotor position, which deteriorates the transient response of the PMSM significantly. To solve this problem, this article proposes an active disturbance rejection control based EEMF sensorless control method. By designing an extended state observer (ESO) considering the differential term of the position estimation error, timely and accurate estimation of the load disturbance and rotor position can be achieved simultaneously. The adaptive mechanism of the ESO exhibits sound system antidisturbance performance. Moreover, a linear state error feedback controller and feedforward compensation of load disturbance can replace the speed loop PI controller accordingly. Through stability and tracking performance analysis, the proposed method is superior in both steady-state performance and transient-state performance. The proposed scheme is experimentally validated by a 3 kW automotive power steering oil pump motor drive system. The results show that the transient response characteristics are obviously enhanced compared with the conventional methods.
