Abstract
A sensorless vector active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) method for permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) utilizing a Luenberger observer is presented. This method aims to address the challenges associated with weak active disturbances, substantial steady-state speed amplitude fluctuations, and difficulty in achieving a balance between overshoot and speed control in the sensorless PMSM control system. Mathematical models of the Luenberger observer and the ADRC were analyzed, leading to the proposal of a second-order ADRC control method based on the Luenberger observer. A mathematical model of the permanent PMSM has been introduced. Additionally, the necessary conditions for the convergence of the Luenberger observer were derived and examined. The allowable range of error feedback gain values was determined, and rotor position data were acquired using a phase-locked loop. The principle of the ADRC was analyzed, and the ADRC simulation results, along with the PI simulation results, were detailed. When the target speed is 1000 r/min, the steady-state error and load disturbance resistance of the ADRC control method outperform those of the PI control method. Finally, the control method was experimentally tested on an STM32F4 chip, demonstrating the advantages of small steady-state error and strong active disturbance ability.
