Optimized Non-Linear Observer for a PMSM Speed Control System Integrating a Multi-Dimensional Taylor Network and Lyapunov Theory

Within the field of permanent magnet synchronous motor sensorless speed control systems, we present a novel scheme with a Multi-dimensional Taylor Network (MTN)-based nonlinear observer as the core, supplemented by two auxiliary MTN modules to realize closed-loop control: (1) MTN Model Identifier: Provides real-time PMSM nonlinear dynamic feedback for the observer; (2) MTN Adaptive Inverse Controller: Compensates for load disturbances using the observer’s estimated states. The study focuses on optimizing the MTN observer to address key limitations of existing methods (high computational complexity, lack of stability guarantees, and low estimation accuracy). Compared with the neural network observer, this MTN-based scheme stands out due to its straightforward structure and significantly reduced approximately 40% computational complexity. Specifically, the intricate calculations and high resource consumption typically associated with neural network observers are circumvented. Subsequently, by leveraging Lyapunov theory, an adaptive learning rule for the MTN weights is meticulously devised, which seamlessly bridges the theoretical proof of the nonlinear observer’s stability. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed MTN observer achieves rapid convergence of speed and position estimation errors (with steady-state errors within ±0.5% of the rated speed and ±0.02 rad for rotor position) after a transient period of less than 0.2 s. Even when stator resistance is increased by tenfold to simulate parameter variations, the observer maintains high estimation accuracy, with speed and position errors increasing by no more than 1.2% and 0.05 rad, respectively, showcasing strong robustness. These results collectively confirm the efficacy and practical value of the proposed scheme in PMSM sensorless speed control.
