Abstract

In this paper, two kinds of observer-based sensorless predictive torque control methods are proposed. The predictive method is based on examining feasible voltage vectors (VVs) in a prescribed cost function. The VV that minimizes the cost function is selected. A novel robust prediction model is presented. The prediction model includes sliding mode feedbacks. The feedback gains are assigned by the H-inf method. Two kinds of observers are applied for flux and speed estimation, i.e., sliding mode full order observer and reduced order observer. In order to verify the proposed method, simulation and experimental results are presented in wide speed range. A comparison of the two methods is performed based on the results.
