In order to improve the dynamic performance of the sensorless permanent magnet synchronous motor drive system, the modified pulsating high frequency voltage injection method is proposed. Firstly, the second order generalized integrator can be used to extract the high frequency voltage signal instead of band-pass filters. The specific frequency harmonic elimination unit is applied to obtain the rotor position error signal to avoid using the low-pass filter. Therefore, the system dynamic performance can be improved.

Finally, the simulation model and experimental platform are built to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. The simulation and experimental results present that the dynamic performance of motor drive system can be improved.

In order to improve the accuracy of rotor position estimation for sensorless controlled stator permanent magnet motor, which back electromotive force (EMF) exhibits nonsinusoidal waves, by employing the second order generalized integrator (SOGI), a revised extended state observer is proposed. The estimated position fluctuation errors resulted from both flux spatial harmonics and the inverter nonlinearities are analyzed. The SOGI is utilized to eliminate the multiple harmonics and extract the fundamental of the estimated back EMF. In addition, the software quadrature phase-locked loop with back-EMF normalization is utilized to calculate the rotor position in order to eliminate the influence of the back-EMF magnitude change at different speed. Finally, the comparison experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

A lumped-parameter (LP) thermal model is presented for a flux-switching permanent-magnet double-rotor machine (FSPM-DRM) used for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), which has attracted attention due to the compact structure. The model provides the steady-state thermal solution to derive the temperatures at different parts of the machine, including the temperatures in the stator windings and the temperatures of the magnets.
