Position-sensorless and single current sensor control for variable flux machine drive systems in electric vehicles
In variable flux reluctance machine (VFRM) drive systems for electric vehicles
the installation of one position sensor and at least two phase-current sensors increases system cost and size while reducing operational reliability. To address these issues
a position-sensorless and single current sensor control strategy for VFRM drive systems is proposed. First
a frequency adaptive complex vector observer is constructed to achieve accurate online estimation of the rotor position and angular speed of the VFRM. Then
a quadrature signal generator is designed and combined with coordinate transformation principles to realize real-time and accurate reconstruction of the α and β axis currents. Finally
simulation and experimental results verify that the proposed control strategy enables stable operation of the VFRM drive system using only a single current sensor installed in any one phase winding. The proposed method provides a simple
space-saving
and more reliable operating mode for hardware implementation.
