The objective of the paper is to present the efficient and dynamic sensorless speed control of a surface permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM) drive at a wide speed range. For high-performance speed sensorless control, a finite control set model predictive current control (FCS-MPCC) algorithm based on a model reference adaptive system (MRAS) is proposed. With the FCS-MPCC algorithm, the inner current control loop is eliminated, and the limitations of the cascaded linear controller are overcome. The proposed speed sensorless control algorithm provides an efficient speed control technique for the SPMSM drive owing to its fast dynamic response and simple principle. The adaptive mechanism is adopted to estimate the rotor shaft speed and position used in FCS-MPCC for dynamic sensorless control. FCS-MPCC uses a square cost function to determine the optimal output voltage vector (VV) from the switching states that give the low cost index. A discrete-time model of a system is used to predict future currents across all the feasible VVs produced by the voltage source inverter. The VV that reduced the cost function is adopted and utilized. Simulation results showed the efficacy of the presented scheme and the viability of the proposed sensorless speed control design under various load conditions at a wide speed operation range.

This paper proposes a non-cascade -single loop- Direct Speed Control algorithm for surface mounted Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) fed by Matrix Converter. The proposed method uses Finite Control Set Model Predictive Control (FCS-MPC) to manipulate system speed and currents simultaneously. Also, for better performance of the predictive method, an observer designed to estimate mechanical torque and other uncertain parameters of the mechanical subsystem as a lumped disturbance. Simulation results using Matlab/Simulink demonstrate the performance of proposed algorithm.

This thesis presents the modeling, analysis, design and experimental validation of a robust sensorless control method for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) based on Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) to accurately estimate speed and rotor position. Currently, there is no robust position/speed sensorless control method available for the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) in the published literature. Traditionally, commercial off-the-shelf simulation models for PMSM do not incorporate initial rotor position and simplified steady-state based modeling of the associated power electronic circuitry and controls are used. These limitations have prevented the development and application of a robust real-time sensorless control method with good dynamic performance over the full speed range for the PMSM. The main focus of this thesis is to overcome these limitations. In particular, a detailed real-time PMSM model in MATLAB/Simulink simulation environment is developed which is used to validate the EKF sensorless control method by varying the initial position of the rotor. The proposed position/speed sensorless control based on EKF method along with all the power electronic circuitry are modeled in this simulation environment. This user-friendly simulation and rapid-prototyping platform is then effectively used to predict, analyse, fine-tune and validate proper operation of the proposed EKF sensorless control method for all operating conditions. In particular, different control strategies are reviewed and the performance of the proposed EKF sensorless control method is critically assessed and validated for different types of dynamic and static torque loads. The robustness of the proposed EKF sensorless method is demonstrated by validating proper operation of the closed-loop motor control system for different rotor initial positions and insensitivity of the EKF speed/position estimation method to the PMSM parameter variations. Proper operation of the proposed EKF based sensorless control method for a high speed permanent magnet synchronous machine is verified experimentally in the lab at Honeywell.
