Abstract:

An improved model reference adaptive system (IMRAS) sensorless control method for permanent magnet in-wheel motor was proposed to improve the operational reliability of the sensorless control algorithm for in-wheel motor drive electric vehicles under variable load and wide rotation speed range operating conditions. Based on the fixed-gain adaptive law design in the traditional model reference adaptive system (MRAS), the nonlinear variable-gain design with active disturbance rejection controller (ADRC) was considered. The fal function was employed to establish the adaptive law with variable-gain nonlinear characteristics, which achieved the accurate estimation of the rotor position and rotation speed of the in-wheel motor. The proposed IMRAS method was verified through simulation and experiments. The results show that the sensorless control algorithm with the proposed IMRAS has strong robustness and high capability of anti-interference and adaption ability, especially in the wide speed range and under conditions of sudden change load.
