Systematic fuzzy sliding mode approach combined with extented Kalman filter for permanent magnet synchronous motor control

This paper proposes a new state observer based on an extended Kalman filter (EKF) for the sensorless systematic fuzzy sliding mode control of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM). The observer can obtain a precise estimation of rotor speed and position. Load torque is also observed and used as the feed-forward compensation to improve the system performance during load torque changes. In this system, the initial rotor position is not necessary for the start up.
