Abstract

Recent advancements in power electronics technology evolves inverter fed electric motors. Speed signals and rotor position are essential for controlling an electric motor accurately. In this paper, the sensorless speed control of surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM) has been attempted. SPMSM wants a digital inverter for its precise working. Hence, this study incorporates fifteen level inverter to the SPMSM. A sliding mode observer (SMO) based sensorless speed control scheme is projected to determine rotor spot and speed of the multilevel inverter (MLI) fed SPMSM. MLI has been operated using a multi carrier pulse width modulation (MCPWM) strategy for generation of fifteen level voltages. The simulation works are executed with MATLAB/SIMULINK software. The steadiness and the heftiness of the projected model have been investigated under no loaded and loaded situations of SPMSM. Furthermore, the projected method can be adapted for electric vehicles.
