Research on a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Sensorless Anti-Disturbance Control Strategy Based on an Improved Sliding Mode Observer

Abstract

This paper designs an improved sliding mode observer (ISMO) compound control scheme combined with a disturbance observer to solve the chattering and anti-disturbance problems of the traditional sliding mode observer (SMO) for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) in a sensorless control system. First, the sign function is replaced by an exponential type input function, and the fuzzy control rules are developed to automatically regulate the boundary layer control coefficient of the exponential input function, thereby changing the convergence characteristics of the exponential input function and improving the system observation accuracy. Then, the integral sliding mode surface and the quadratic radical term function of the square of the state variable are introduced to reduce system chattering. The proposed ISMO is proved using Lyapunov’s law to guarantee the whole system is stable. Based on the exponential input function and the integral sliding surface, an improved sliding mode disturbance observer (ISMDO) is constructed as a feed-forward compensator, which can optimize the dynamic performance of the improved observation system and ensure the strong robustness of the system by compensating the q-axis current. Finally, MATLAB/Simulink simulation and experimental platform verification have been carried out, which confirms the feasibility of the proposed composite control scheme.
