Abstract
In this paper, a novel encoderless control of permanent magnet assisted synchronous reluctance generator (PMa-SynRG) based-stator current vector for renewable energy systems is presented. For the encoderless control, the PMa-SynRG rotor position angle along with rotor angular speed are estimated ultimately from the generator's stator currents, as the stator inductance is only requisite nevertheless the stator resistance. Indeed, this encoderless control technique employs one current control loop for regulating the magnitude of the stator current instead of employing two current control loops. For eliminating the current measurement noise and enhancing the phase angle tracking performance, a modified second-order generalized integrator frequency-locked loop (MSOGI-FLL) technique is employed and compared with the standard SOGI-FLL under different voltage/frequency conditions. The proposed technique has a simple computational implementation while accomplishing a rapid along with precise estimation performance of the PMa-SynRG rotor position angle and speed. The performance is validated using simulations and real-time hardware-in-the-loop Typhoon HIL implementation.
