description This paper delves into a comprehensive study of a wide-speed-range sensorless control approach for surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motors (SPMSMs). In the low-speed range, a novel high-frequency pulse voltage injection (HFPVI) method is introduced for rotor position estimation, which does not depend on motor saliency and is well-suited for SPMSMs. This method incorporates a second-order generalized integrator (SOGI) and a new modulation signal to enhance the accuracy of rotor position estimation. For medium-to-high speeds, an improved super-twisting sliding mode observer (STSMO) utilizing a continuous hyperbolic tangent function is proposed to mitigate chattering. Additionally, a new phase-locked loop (NPLL) is introduced to accurately obtain the rotor position. Furthermore, this paper designs an exponential weighted switching function to facilitate a smooth transition of the motor from the low-speed domain to the medium- and high-speed domains. The effectiveness and superiority of the proposed methods are validated through simulations and experiments conducted on an RTU-BOX platform. The rotor position estimation errors of the proposed new HFPVI method and the improved STSMO method under various operating conditions are both approximately 0.05 rad (2.8 elc·deg), and the SPMSM can switch smoothly from the low-speed range to the medium- and high-speed ranges.
