A Review of Position Sensorless Compound Control for PMSM Drives

Abstract

As position sensorless control technology can avoid many disadvantages caused by mechanical position sensors, improve the reliability of the motor, reduce costs and other advantages, a large number of researchers have conducted research on compound control technology in order to achieve position sensorless control technology in a wide speed range. In this article, the position sensorless compound control technology of a permanent magnet synchronous motor is reviewed, and the compound control technology of a permanent magnet synchronous motor without a position sensor is elaborated. Finally, the existing problems and development trend of sensorless compound control technology are summarized and prospected.
