Adaptive Motor Controller

Abstract

A controller for a permanent magnet synchronous motor includes a first control loop having a first filter. The first filter has a back-EMF voltage vector input, a magnetic flux vector output with a constant phase shift that is independent of motor speed, and an amplitude response that is inversely proportional to rotor electrical frequency. The first control loop is configured to: generate an adjusted magnetic flux vector from the magnetic flux vector output by the first filter and compensate for the constant phase shift introduced by the first filter; estimate the rotor electrical frequency from the adjusted magnetic flux vector; and feedback a filtered version of the rotor electrical frequency estimate to the first filter as an estimation of the rotor electrical frequency.
