Abstract

The control system of speed sensorless for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is an important issue for its advantages such as high precision in control, quite convenience in installation and strong reliability in performance. This paper introduces the development history and present situation of the speed sensorless control technology of PMSM. Then, it is analyzed and compared on the control strategy of speed sensor technology in both medium-to-high speed range and zero-to-low speed range. Finally, the research which emphasizes and development trend of speed sensorless control technology is pointed out.
