| description | This paper introduces a parameter-estimation-based sensorless adaptive direct voltage maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) control strategy for interior permanent magnet synchronous machines (IPMSMs). In direct voltage control, the motor’s electrical parameters, speed, and rotor position are of great significance. Thus, any mismatch in these parameters or failure to acquire accurate speed or position information leads to a significant deviation in the MTPA trajectory, causing high current consumption and hence affecting the performance of the entire control system. In view of this problem, a fuzzy logic control-based cascaded model reference adaptive system (FLC-MRAS) is introduced to mitigate the effect of parameter variation on the tracking of the MTPA trajectory and to provide precise information about the rotor speed and position. The cascaded scheme consists of two parallel FLC-MRAS for speed and multiparameter estimation. The first MRAS is utilized to estimate motor speed and rotor position to achieve robust sensorless control. However, the speed estimator is highly dependent on time-varying motor parameters. Therefore, the second MRAS is designed to identify the quadratic inductance and permanent magnet flux and continuously update both the speed estimator and control scheme with the identified values to ensure accurate speed estimation and real-time MTPA trajectory tracking. Unlike conventional MRAS, which uses linear proportional-integral controllers (PI-MRAS), an FLC is adopted to replace the PI controllers, ensuring high estimation accuracy and enhancing the robustness of the control system against sudden changes in working conditions. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is evaluated under different speed and torque conditions. Furthermore, a comparison against the conventional PI-MRAS is extensively investigated to highlight the superiority of the proposed scheme. The evaluation results and our quantitative assessment show the ability of the designed strategy to achieve high estimation accuracy, less oscillation, and a faster convergence rate under different working conditions. The quantitative assessment reveals that the FLC-MRAS can improve the estimation accuracy of speed, permanent magnet flux, and quadratic inductance by 19%, 55.8% and 44.55%, respectively. |
