Abstract

This paper proposes an sensorless control strategy to improve rotor position estimation accuracy and system robustness for permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) under dynamic conditions. By integrating a surface-mounted PMSM (SMPMSM) model with a super-twisting sliding mode observer (STA-SMO), the study achieves reductions in position estimation errors and enhanced noise attenuation capabilities. The system's performance under saturation and cross-coupling effects was validated through element simulations and experimental testing. Furthermore, the integration of parameter identification and computing models demonstrates the system's adaptability in high-noise and non-stationary environments. Results indicate that the proposed method achieves precision rotor position estimation with superior dynamic response and robustness, laying a solid foundation for subsequent research.
