Abstract

The PWM current derivative technique for sensorless control of AC machines requires current derivative measurements under certain PWM vectors. This is often not possible under narrow PWM vectors due to high frequency (HF) oscillations which affect the current and current derivative responses. In previous work, researchers extended the time that PWM vectors were applied to the machine for to a threshold known as the minimum pulse width (tmin), in order to allow the HF oscillations to decay and a derivative measurement to be obtained. This resulted in additional distortion to the motor current New experimental results demonstrate that an artificial neural network (ANN) can be used to estimate derivatives using measurements from a standard current sensor before the HF oscillations have fully decayed. This reduces the minimum pulse width required and can significantly reduce the additional current distortion and torque ripple.
