Abstract

A nonlinear third-order extended state observer (TESO) is proposed for the rotor position and speed estimation for sensorless interior permanent magnet synchronous motor drives. The disturbance observation bandwidth of the proposed observer is expanded by deploying a gain optimization method. The measurement noise excited in the control loop is suppressed effectively by substituting the previous high gain configuration. Experimentally, both the steady-state and transient performance of the TESO are verified on testing rigs. In comparison with the performance of a conventional linear extended state observer, the TESO has a better capability of disturbance observation and noise suppression in a wide operating range.
