Sensorless Speed Control for SPMSM Using a Nonlinear Observer and Enhanced Super-Twisting ADRC

Abstract

In this article, a novel strategy called enhanced super-twisting active disturbance rejection control (ESTADRC), as well as a nonlinear observer (NOB), is used to implement a speed control scheme for permanent-magnet synchronous motors with intricate internal dynamics, and it exhibits nonlinearity and variable parameters. A new reaching law is formulated within a super-twisting sliding mode control (STSMC) framework, and a comprehensive procedure for finite convergence time analysis is provided. The convergence region of the state variables of the system is obtained using a Lyapunov function. ESTADRC is developed by integrating STSMC and linear active disturbance rejection control (LADRC), whereas the NOB is employed to estimate the motor’s position or angle value. Simulations demonstrated that the proposed approach is valid and effective compared with super-twisting active disturbance rejection control and LADRC.
