| Summary: | This paper is devoted to designing a sensorless high-speed tracking control for surface-mount permanent-magnet synchronous motors, considering a time-varying load torque. This proposal consists of an extended-state observer interconnected with a PI-compensated controller, considering only the measurement of electrical variables for feedback. First, to design the extended-state observer, a rotary coordinate model of the motor is extended in one state to estimate the load torque and the rotor’s position and speed. Later, the estimations are fedback to a PI-compensated controller to attenuate the time-varying load torques. Our proposed methodology aims to overcome a restriction regarding the solution of the Riccati equation respecting the Lipschitz condition for observer stability analysis. Therefore, a PI-compensated controller described as a closed-loop provides a sensorless scheme. Lyapunov stability analysis is applied to determine sufficient conditions to ensure that the states of the closed-loop system are ultimately bounded, which is one of our main contributions. The proposed observer-based controller scheme deals with unmeasured load torque fluctuations. Furthermore, we carry out high-precision emulations to provide testing scenarios of the permanent-magnet synchronous motor with some challenging load torque magnitudes and behaviors. Finally, we conduct experiments on the Technosoft<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msup><mrow></mrow><mo>®</mo></msup></semantics></math></inline-formula> development platform to corroborate the feasibility of the proposed control scheme in a real-world scenario.
