Abstract
A neural fuzzy controller (NFC)-based speed controller for the sensorless permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive control system is realized in this paper. The NFC is a fuzzy logic controller (FLC), which adjusts the RBFNN-based (radial basis function neural network) parameter by adapting the dynamic system characteristics. For sensorless PMSM drive, the integration of sliding mode observer (SMO) and phase-locked loop (PLL) is executed to estimate the rotor position and speed. To eliminate the initial rotor position estimation and overcome the conventional PLL-based position estimation error in the direction reversion transition, the I-f control strategy is applied to start up the motor and change the rotational direction effectively. The system performance was verified in various experimental conditions. The simulation and experimental results indicate that the proposed control algorithm is implemented efficiently. The motor starts up with diverse external loads, operates in a wide speed range for both positive and negative directions, and reverses the rotational direction stably. Furthermore, the system presents robustness against disturbance and tracks the command speed properly.
