Abstract

On account of the low switching frequency restriction and harsh conditions of rail transit permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive system, the sensorless control for such machine is challenging. In this work, a novel PWM control scheme, originating from the asymmetric space vector modulation (ASVM), was proposed for a square-wave voltage injection method based sensorless control under low switching frequency. The improved method makes comparisons between carrier and modulation-wave in the 1/4 and 3/4-point of one carrier period. As a result, the position signal can be estimated without low-pass filters (LPF) and time delays, and the total harmonics distortion (THD) of output current can be reduced dramatically. In addition, the distortion extent of induced high frequency (HF) current reduces as well, and the estimated position precision was improved. The experimental results proved the effectiveness and accuracy of the new method.
