Current Measurement Offset Error Compensation in Vector-Controlled SPMSM Drive Systems

초록

Current measurement offset errors occur in current sensors and related circuits, because of various factors, such as thermal drift, aging, and nonlinearity. The current offset error results in undesired torque ripples, which deteriorate the speed and torque control performances of vector-controlled drive systems. This study proposes an online current measurement offset error compensator for vector-controlled surface permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM) drive systems. The proposed compensator requires only phase current sensors and no additional hardware. This method is applicable for all systems using two and three phase current sensors. The current offset error is estimated using the motor parameters, stator current, and command voltage in the stationary reference frame. This scheme can continuously adjust the current offset during motor operation. In addition, this study analyzes the effect of parameter errors and confirms that the proposed method is robust to variations in the machine parameters. Simulation and experimental results are provided to verify the performance of the proposed current measurement offset error compensation method.
