Torque Ripple Mitigation and Rotor Position Error Reduction in PMSM Sensorless Drives via ANFIS-SMO
摘要
This paper presents a novel Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Sliding Mode Observer (ANFIS-SMO) designed for sensorless Field-Oriented Control (FOC) of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) drives. The proposed approach integrates an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) with a Sliding Mode Observer (SMO) to enhance rotor position and speed estimation accuracy, particularly under parameter uncertainties and dynamic load conditions. Unlike conventional SMO, where chattering introduces current distortions that manifest as torque ripple, the ANFIS-SMO dynamically adjusts observer gains through fuzzy inference, thereby suppressing chattering and ensuring smoother current and torque responses. As a result, the method simultaneously achieves torque ripple mitigation and high-precision rotor angle estimation. Comparative analysis with traditional sensorless control methods, including Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) and conventional SMO, demonstrates that ANFIS-SMO significantly reduces torque ripple (up to 40%), improves speed tracking accuracy (by 25%), and maintains rotor position estimation errors below 2%. Furthermore, it provides faster settling times and reduced overshoot compared to existing techniques, highlighting its potential for high-performance PMSM applications in electric vehicles and industrial drives.
