An Adaptation Mechanism of Model Reference Adaptive System Based on Variable Structure Control for Online Parameter Estimation of IPMSM
(Wiley, 2026) Tekgun, Burak; Barut, Murat; Ates, Ertugrul
This study introduces stator currents-based model reference adaptive system (MRAS) estimators that employ variable structured control (VSC) in the adaptation mechanism to enable the online estimation of stator resistance and permanent magnet (PM) flux in interior permanent magnet synchronous motors (IPMSMs). These MRAS estimators estimate stator resistance and PM flux by analysing the error between the stator currents measured as the reference model and the stator currents generated by the adaptive model. The performance of the proposed estimators is assessed through simulation studies. Furthermore, the proposed approach is compared to a conventional MRAS employing a fixed-gain proportional-integral (PI) controller. Simulation results and error analyses indicate that the VSC-based MRAS algorithms outperform traditional PI-based MRAS in terms of accuracy and reliability. Additionally, the proposed method eliminates the reliance on a fixed-gain PI controller, a common component in conventional MRAS systems.
Design and Real-Time Implementation of a Sliding Mode Observer Utilizing Voltage Signal Injection and PLL for Sensorless Control of IPMSMs
(Elsevier - Division Reed Elsevier India Pvt Ltd, 2024) Ates, Ertugrul; Tekgun, Burak; Ablay, Gunyaz; Barut, Murat
In this study, a sliding mode observer (SMO) based on high-frequency (HF) voltage signal injection and a phase-locked loop (PLL) is proposed for estimating the extended electromotive force (EEMF), rotor position, and rotor velocity of an interior permanent magnet synchronous machine (IPMSM). This approach addresses real-time estimation challenges associated with standard SMO and PLL at very low speeds and standstill. A reliable and accurate sensorless speed control system for IPMSM is then developed and implemented in real time using the proposed SMO and PLL, covering a wide range of speeds, including low-speed and standstill conditions. The SMO effectively estimates the EEMF, while the PLL extracts the rotor velocity and position based on these estimates. Compared to conventional SMO and PLL methods, real-time results from an 8-pole, 0.4 kW IPMSM demonstrate the superior efficiency of the proposed system.

Sensorless Position and Speed Control of IPMSM With Sliding Mode Observer and Voltage Signal Injection
(IEEE, 2021) Ates, Ertugrul; Tekgun, Burak; Ablay, Gunyaz
A sensorless control approach based on a sliding mode observer for predicting the rotor position and speed is studied in this work. For predicting the motor speed and position, the sliding mode observer followed by a phase locked loop is formulated by means of the back EMF model. The voltage signal injection method is utilized for accurate estimation in zero or low speed region. Numerical simulation results are provided for an 8-pole IPMSM, which shows that the motor speed and position in zero or low-speed region are accurately estimated with the designed observer and voltage signal injection approach.

Sliding Mode Control of a Switched Reluctance Motor Drive With Four-Switch Bi-Directional DC-DC Converter for Torque Ripple Minimization
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2020) Ates, Ertugrul; Tekgun, Burak; Ablay, Günyaz
In this paper, a method to drive switched reluctance motors (SRM) with a modular four-switch bidirectional DC-DC converter and an H-bridge is proposed. The DC-DC converter operates as a buck or a boost converter with constant frequency to control each phase current while the H-bridge inverter switches only twice in a period to adjust the polarity of the phase voltage. Sliding mode control is designed to have fast and robust current control in the DC-DC converter. The sliding surface equation which is derived for all operation modes including buck and boost modes in motoring and regenerating conditions is defined with the estimated inductor current. The proposed drive system eliminates the bulk DC-capacitors and allows one to adjust the bus voltage individually for all phases. Moreover, the proposed system topology works with only one high-frequency switching device in the DC-DC conversion stage rather than two in conventional drives which provides a simpler current control and reduced switching losses. © 2020 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
